Since the writing of The New Science of Breath, much has been learned by myself and colleagues regarding Coherent Breathing, including how it works and how it is best applied. We document this in the recently published work Coherent Breathing - The Definitive Method. In a nutshell, we now know that Coherent Breathing elicits a dramatic increase in blood flow, such that each time we inhale, about 700 ml of blood is siphoned through the right heart into the lungs. Each time we exhale, about 700 ml of blood is ejected from the lungs into the left heart and into the arterial tree. This phenomenon is referred to as the respiratory arterial pressure wave. Note that the muscular action of the diaphragm is the motive force for this wave action. And in this way, when the diaphragm is moving the blood, the heart and vascular system relax. With this relaxation, the autonomic nervous system is allowed to return to a normal idle state, i.e. what we call "real homeostasis". In real homeostasis, the body mind knows how to care for itself, and consequently we see dramatic improvements in health, well-being, and performance. We are confident that these change translate over time into gains in healthful longevity. My pleasure to contribute to your journal and thanks again for your interest in Coherent Breathing, Regards, Stephen Elliott Hi all,

It's good to see others focusing on this all-important topic. I know that it's easy to slide into the slump posture and thereby lose the ability to deep-breath. The breath affects our physical energy, and our spiritual energy as well. As a <a href="estee.taschreau.radiantjourney.com" / rel="nofollow">medical intuitive</a> I see the effects of healthy breathing patterns throughout the whole body. Great article!

I was brought up on it - both my parents recited it and parts of it to me often. I think of it often and recite part of it in my head but haven't heard anyone else recite it for years. What memories you have evoked! It is a treasure. It amazes me how many things are 'timeless'. Thank you so much, from my overflowing heart. Maryleen Hi Matt

How special to hear you recite this poem.

I was brought up on it - both my parents recited it and parts of it to me often.

I think of it often and recite part of it in my head but haven’t heard anyone else recite it for years.

What memories you have evoked!

It is a treasure.

It amazes me how many things are ‘timeless’.

Thank you so much, from my overflowing heart.

As I have MS I try and focus on doing what I can. I have chosen breathing as one of the areas as I know how important it is and also because my automatic breathing has stopped in the past (due to MS) leaving me with much shallower breathing which I am working on improving. I wanted to learn more and to discover the exact details of how to tap the power of breath and the specific practices that I could can use however I do not feel that I am ready yet to join the community. Is there any way I could start with this first? I really enjoyed this blog and it gave me some excellent guidelines on breathing practice. As I have MS I try and focus on doing what I can.

Its effects are absolutely positive. I fully agree that more attention should be paid to a matter of such importance.. In India we call this pranayam, and is practiced from a very early age.
