How would you like a technique that will increase your mental and
physical performance? With the technique I am about to share
with you, you will be able to clear your mind, increase your
intelligence, restore your energy, and increase your physical
strength. This is also a technique that you can use any time,
anywhere you happen to be, without drawing attention to yourself.

I’m talking about ‘Power Breathing’. The fundamental concept
behind Power Breathing is very old, so it’s possible that you’ve
seen a variation of it in other places. One thing that I’ve
found is that some descriptions of the process are so vague or
misleading that you end up doing it wrong and get none of the
benefits that Power Breathing can give you.

In Power Breathing, you hold an image in your mind while
breathing slightly different from normal. Let’s cover the
mechanics of Power Breathing first, since that is the simplest
component of the technique. In normal breathing, you usually use
only about 1/3 of the capacity of your lungs. During exercise or
other physical exertion, you will use more of your lung capacity,
but you breath faster to get more oxygen to your muscles. In
Power Breathing, you want to breath deeply, but slowly.

One way to control the tempo is to count. Breath in for a count
of 5, then hold it for a count of 3. Breath out for a count of
7, then hold it for a count of 3. When holding, don’t close your
throat as this will create unnecessary tension. Use the same
muscle you use to breath in and out, but hold it in place. Just
pause the in and out motion of air. Try it now and get the
feeling of the tempo. Practice it several times until it feels
natural and easy.

One of the easiest ways to direct Power is to imagine that it is
carried by the air you breath. As you breath in, you are
bringing Power into your being, and as you breath out, you are
sending Power away from you. Your thoughts and feelings will
condition the Power while it is inside of you.

Using this image, if you imagine that Power is energizing your
body while you are breathing in, then Power is being directed to
energize your body. If you imagine that Power is cleansing your
mind and emotions while you are breathing out, then Power is
being directed to eliminate any tensions and negativity from your
mind and emotional nature. And if you combine the two images,
then Power is being directed towards both goals with a phenomenal
result!

There are many uses for Power Breathing, but this is perhaps the
most useful. Another use for Power Breathing is for healing. If
you imagine that the air you are breathing in is bringing healing
energies to whatever part of you is less than perfect, then you
will be directing Power to heal that part of you. Make sure that
you also include the image of any negativity or infection being
eliminated from your body as you are breathing out.

It is also possible to “breathe in money” and “breathe out
poverty”. Or you could “breathe in love” and “breathe out
loneliness”. The possibilities are endless!
