The Oxygen Advantage®, The Breathing Cure, and Atomic Focus

Measuring your Body’s Oxygen Level. This test, the BOLT score, is required if one is to make any progress with a breathing practice for harnessing health and improving performance – physically, mentally and beyond.

Breathing Well Promotes Health & Fitness

Functional Breathing is practicing breathing with awareness and attention. Breathing while moving, sitting, working, exercising, sleep, and more… threaded through you day can go a long ways to expanding the range of health. Attention brings awareness and understanding of your breathing patterns. Feeling the breath is part of awareness, and provides great feedback to your health and fitness. There is no “normal”, only optimal. These videos are guides to the 3 important concepts in Functional Breathing practices:

BREATHE SOFT & LIGHT

BREATHE LOW & FULL

BREATHE SLOW & RHYTHMIC

WARM UP BREATH HOLDS
FOUNDATIONAL EXERCISES
MEDIUM AIR-HUNGER EXERCISE

The Sequence we did in the session was as follows:
1. WARM-UP/SHORT BREATHHOLDS for 3-5 minutes.
2. BREATHE LIGHT – mild air-hunger for 3-5 minutes. Can be done lying down on back, on belly (optimal position), or seated. See video below for focused guidance. It is also in my second video above.
3. MEDIUM AIR-HUNGER exercise for 5 repetitions.
4. BREATHE LOW seated or walking for 3-5 minutes.
All of you should be able to tolerate these exercise and see improvements in your BOLT score over 3-6 weeks. For further advancements there are a few hidden gems below, and best if you seek my guidance to see if it is best fit for you.
