AT ABOUT THE MID-POINT OF THIS FEAST OF TABERNACLES.
I'M BUSY UPLOADING A STUDY THAT IS NOT THE HAPPIEST FOR SURE; BUT GOD HAS LAID IT ON MY HEART TO DO SO AT THIS TIME.
DURING THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES WE THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE AND..... AS PAUL CALLED IT IN ONE VERSE "THE AGE TO COME" - AND IN THAT AGE [ACTUALLY BEFORE IT ALSO AS JESUS SAID] THERE WILL BE THE RESTITUTION OF ALL THINGS.
THERE WILL BE AN ADMITTING OF ERROR, CORRUPTION, SIN, WICKEDNESS, FALSEHOOD, AND ALL DECEPTIONS..... ANYTHING THAT IS NOT THE "TRUE LIGHT" OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
IT WILL BE THE TIME WHEN THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD COVERS THE EARTH AS THE WATERS COVER THE SEA BEDS...... MEDITATE ON THAT GLORY; WOW IT IS MIND-BLOWING!!
THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH WILL KNOW TRUTH FROM FALSEHOOD; RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM SIN!
ONE TRUTH WILL BE WHO WERE THE TRUE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST; WHO WERE THE TRUE MEMBERS OF THE BODY OF CHRIST, DURING THE NEW TESTAMENT AGE, AND UP TO THE RETURN OF JESUS TO EARTH.
ONE MIGHTY.... WELL HUGE .... THE LARGEST "CHRISTIAN CHURCH" ON EARTH, CLAIMS TO BE THE TRUE CHURCH OF GOD; CLAIMS TO BE DESCENDED FROM THE APOSTLE PETER. IT IS OF COURSE THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. MANY MEMBERS IN THAT CHURCH WILL SAY THE POPE IS THE CLOSEST TO BEING GOD ON EARTH, ABOVE EVERYONE ELSE.
WITH THE PRESENT POPE, BEING CHARISMATIC, DOWN-TO-EARTH, WITH A HUMBLE ATTITUDE OF MIND, AND WITH A FRIENDLY SMILE; MANY WHO LEFT THAT CHURCH ARE RETURNING..... AND THIS CHURCH CONTINUES TO GATHER MEMBERS NEAR AND FAR.
BUT THERE IS A DARK SIDE TO THIS ROMAN CHURCH; FEW KNOW ABOUT IT; FEW WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT; IT IS WRITTEN IN RECORDED HISTORY; THE FACTS ARE OBTAINABLE - IF YOU WANT THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER.
THOSE FACTS ARE NOW BEING UPLOADED TO MY HISTORY SECTION OF MY WEBSITE [keithhunt.com].
YES, LIKE IT OR NOT, THE TRUTH CAN BE OBTAINED NOW; AND CERTAINLY IN THE AGE TO COME, ALL PEOPLES OF ALL NATIONS, WILL COME TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH OF THE ROMAN CHURCH.
ALL HISTORY WILL BE SHOWN TO ALL PEOPLE; AND THOSE THAT WALKED IN DARKNESS SHALL SEE A GREAT LIGHT!
KNOWING THE TRUTH, IS A WONDERFUL BLESSING. DURING THIS FEAST OF TABERNACLES, WE SHOULD BE REJOICING IN TRUTH. YOU SHOULD BE PRAISING THE LORD IF YOU HAVE BEEN CALLED TO RECEIVE THE TRUTHS OF GOD'S WORD, AND THE TRUTHS OF RECORDED HISTORY.

FEAST OF TABERNACLES 2015
TODAY SEPTEMBER 28 2015 IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES.
IT IS A 7 DAYS FEAST - SEVEN THE NUMBER OF COMPLETION [7 DAYS GOD DID WHAT IS WRITTEN IN GENESIS 1]. FOR EACH DAY GOD SAID IT WAS GOOD! WHAT THE ETERNAL DID WAS COMPLETE A BEAUTIFUL WORLD FROM THE ABYSS OF WATER.
THE ISRAEL TABERNACLE WAS A TEMPORAL PLACE FOR GOD TO LIVE WITH ISRAEL.
THIS FEAST IS ON THE HEELS OF THE SECOND GREAT HARVEST IN ISRAEL.
IT WAS TO BE CELEBRATED WITH JOY, GOOD FOOD AND DRINK; A VERY FESTIVE TIME.
IT PICTURES THE WONDERFUL JOYOUS TIME PERIOD OF THE AGE TO COME;
WHEN JESUS WILL RETURN AND COME TO AGAIN LIVE ON EARTH.
IT IS THE TIME OF THE RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS.
THERE ARE LITERALLY PASSAGES AND PASSAGES IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, ESPECIALLY IN THE PROPHETS, ABOUT THIS AGE TO COME. SOME MAY NOT BELIEVE IT IS LITERAL. BUT HERE IS THE PROOF IT IS: ALL THE PROPHECIES OF THE FIRST COMING OF CHRIST THE MESSIAH, WERE FULFILLED LITERALLY!
HENCE ALL THE PROPHECIES OF HIS SECOND COMING IN POWER AND GLORY, WILL ALSO BE FULFILLED LITERALLY!
WE LIVE NOW IN A WORLD FILLED WITH MUCH SORROW, HEART-ACHE, WARS, KILLINGS, REFUGEES, SICKNESS, STARVATION, FAMINE, DRUG AND ALCOHOL ADDICTION, THE BREAK-UP OF HOMES; THE MISTREATMENT OF CHILDREN, AND MANY MORE PROBLEMS THAT BRING CRYING AND ANGUISH.
I HAVE EXPOUNDED FOR YOU ALL THE PROPHETS OF THE BIBLE ON MY WEBSITE, WITH ALL THE WONDERFUL GOOD NEWS OF WHAT THEY TELL US ABOUT THAT AGE TO COME.
IT'S EVEN WRITTEN ABOUT IN THE PSALMS.
IT'S GOING TO BE A WORLD THAT IS OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD AS THE SAYING GOES.
BUT IT WILL BE ON THIS WORLD; ON THIS EARTH.
SO FOR 7 DAYS WE ARE TO REJOICE; REJOICE WITH A MERRY HEART; REJOICE WITH GREAT FOOD AND DRINK; BUT ESPECIALLY REJOICE WITH THE WORDS WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE ABOUT THIS COMING AGE.
REJOICE THAT FOR A THOUSAND YEARS SATAN AND DEMONS WILL BE CHAINED UP, NOT TO DECEIVE THE NATIONS; REJOICE THAT GOD'S SPIRIT WILL FILL ALL NATIONS; REJOICE THAT THE LAW OF GOD WILL GO FORTH FROM JERUSALEM, AND THE WORD OF THE LORD FROM ZION. REJOICE THAT THE NATIONS WILL NOT LIFT UP SWORD AGAINST NATIONS, AND WHERE THEY WILL LEARN WAR NO MORE.
SICKNESSES, LIKE THE PLAGUE OF CANCER WILL BE NO MORE; THE DEAF WILL HEAR; THE BLIND WITH SEE; THE LAME WILL WALK.
THE EARTH WILL BE CLEANED UP AND BLOOM WITH GOODNESS LIKE THE GARDEN IN EDEN.
ALL FALSE DECEPTIONS; ALL FALSE THEOLOGICAL ERRORS - THEY WILL BE GONE ALSO.
IT IS WRITTEN FOR THAT TIME: THE EARTH SHALL BE COVERED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD AS THE WATERS COVER THE SEAS...... WOW THAT THOUGHT JUST BLOWS ME AWAY.
SO FOR 7 DAYS WE SHOULD HAVE A BREAK FROM ALL THE SORROWS IN THE WORLD - THEY WILL BE THERE AFTER THIS FEAST IS OVER.
IT IS TIME NOW TO ESPECIALLY REJOICE IN THE LORD, AND AGAIN I SAY REJOICE!!

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND HISTORY
I DID NOT MAKE HISTORY; I DID NOT WRITE HISTORY.
HISTORY HAS ALWAYS BEEN SINCE THE SECOND DAY MANKIND WALKED THE EARTH.
HISTORY IS BEING WRITTEN EVERY DAY; TODAY WILL BE HISTORY TOMORROW.
ALL NATIONS HAVE A HISTORY.
ALL IDEOLOGIES HAVE A HISTORY.
ALL RELIGIONS HAVE A HISTORY.
CERTAINLY THE LARGEST CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN THE WORLD, HAS A HISTORY.
THAT LARGEST CHRISTIAN CHURCH HAS ABOUT 1. 2 BILLION, YES WITH A "B" - MEMBERS.
THAT LARGEST CHRISTIAN CHURCH IS THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.
IT HAS A HISTORY, THOUGH MOST OF ITS MEMBERS HAVE NEVER STOPPED TO READ ITS HISTORY.
IF THEY DID, THEY WOULD MAYBE, BE SHOCKED AS TO WHAT THEY WOULD FIND.
I WOULD CERTAINLY BE VERY SURPRISED IF ANY ROMAN CATHOLIC SCHOOL WOULD TEACH ITS STUDENTS, THE PLAIN UP-FRONT HISTORY OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.
WELL AT LEAST ONE MAN HAS WRITTEN ABOUT "THE DARK HISTORY" OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.
YES IT'S ALL THERE IN HISTORY.
AND YOU CAN READ IT ON MY WEBSITE UNDER "HISTORY" SECTION.
THAT SECTION OF MY WEBSITE ALSO GIVES YOU MANY PARTS OF HISTORY; PARTS OF HISTORY SELDOM TAUGHT; PARTS OF HISTORY BEING DISCOVERED THAT CORRECT PARTS OF HISTORY ALREADY WRITTEN, BUT OFTEN INCORRECTLY, OR LEAVING OUT HISTORICAL TRUTHS, THAT WOULD CORRECT ALREADY WRITTEN HISTORY.

POPE....HISTORIC VISIT TO USA
SO THE POPE IS VISITING THE USA.
HE ADDRESSES CONGRESS TOMORROW - SEPT. 24TH.
HE IS GETTING A HUGE RECEPTION.
YOU SEE YOUNG PEOPLE AND CHILDREN GREETING
HIM LIKE A MOVIE STAR.
SURE HE MAYBE A NICE ENOUGH GUY, DOWN-TO-EARTH, AND HUMBLE..... I AGREE HE IS.
BUT NEVERTHELESS HE REPRESENTS A "CHURCH" OF "CHRISTIAN RELIGION" THAT HAS 2,000 YEARS OF HISTORY, AND WITH A LITTLE TIME SPENT ON THE INTERNET, OR AT A LIBRARY, PEOPLE CAN SEE THE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, UNBELIEVABLE, SHOCKING, THINGS DONE BY THIS CHURCH.
A FEW PEOPLE IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT IT ALL IN NO UNCERTAIN WAY.
TWO BOOKS: ONE IS ON THE TERRIBLE THINGS DONE BY POPES DOWN THROUGH HISTORY; THE OTHER IS MORE GENERIC AND DEALS WITH THE TERRIBLE THINGS DONE BY THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH DOWN THROUGH HISTORY.
IT BLOWS ME AWAY HOW THERE CAN BE STILL OVER ONE BILLION ROMAN CATHOLIC MEMBERS IN THE WORLD TODAY!
I GUESS THEY JUST DO NOT READ HISTORY; AND OBVIOUSLY DO NOT READ CHRISTIAN HISTORY.
BUT SO IT MUST BE.
THE CHURCH THAT JESUS BUILT WOULD BE THE LITTLE FLOCK [THE GREEK MEANS VERY LITTLE FLOCK], AND THE SALT OF THE EARTH, SPRINKLED HERE AND THERE.
ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN? IF SO WHERE DO YOU STAND? ARE YOU PART OF THE HUGE CHRISTIAN CHURCH [ONE MOTHER CHURCH THAT HAD DAUGHTERS COME OUT OF HER] OR A PART OF THE SMALL, BASICALLY UN-NOTICED, VERY LITTLE CHURCH.... BUT STILL THE ONE THAT JESUS BUILT, RULES, AND GUIDES?

ATONEMENT FEAST... 2015...good news!
TODAY AS I WRITE IS SEPTEMBER 23rd..... THE FEAST DAY OF AT-ONE-MENT!
IT PICTURES THE WORLD AT ONE WITH GOD.
BUT.... COME TO BE AT ONE WITH GOD MEANS AS CLEARLY SHOWN IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, MEANS A PERSON MUST REPENT!
THEY MUST COME TO SEE THEIR WAYS, THOUGHTS, IDEAS, POLITICAL NOTIONS, WHAT SEEMS RIGHT TO MAN, IS OFTEN NOT RIGHT WITH GOD.
THE RECENT LEGALIZATION IN THE USA OF SAME SEX MARRIAGE, IS JUST ONE OF THOSE "WAYS OF MAN" THAT IS CERTAINLY NOT THE WAYS OF GOD. EVEN "RELIGIOUS MINISTERS" ARE SOUNDING THE TRUMP TO GET ON SIDE WITH SAME SEX "LOVE" AND SAME SEX MARRIAGE. YOU HAVE TO WONDER WHAT BIBLE THEY ARE READING, SURE CAN'T BE THE SAME ONE I READ!
THE ABORTION ISSUE HAS BEEN FOR DECADES NOW, THE WAY THAT SEEMS RIGHT TO MANKIND..... BUT AGAIN IT AIN'T RIGHT TO GOD, THIS FREE ABORTION ON DEMAND ISSUE.
AND OF COURSE FOR DECADES NOW, FORNICATION, SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE.... WELL MOST YOUNG PEOPLE TODAY WILL NOT EVEN KNOW THE WORD "FORNICATION" - JUST NOT IN THEIR WORLD VIEW IN THE DICTIONARY. THEY PROBABLY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.
SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE, IT'S SO COMMON PLACE, AND SO MUCH PART OF WESTERN WORLD LIFE, TO TEACH YOU SHOULD WAIT UNTIL MARRIAGE BEFORE ENTERING SEXUAL RELATION, SUCH AN IDEA, WOULD GET YOU IN THE FUNNY STRIP COMICS OF NEWS PAPERS.... YES TO BE LAUGHED AT.
WE STILL HAVE NATIONS FIGHTING NATIONS; OR CIVIL WARS WITHIN NATIONS. TO ASK THEM TO REPENT AND STOP THEIR WARS, WOULD ALSO GET YOU THE COMIC GOLD MEDAL.
THERE IS SO MUCH CRIME, CRUELTY, CORRUPTION, AND PLAIN CARNALITY OUT THERE; WELL YOU SEE IT EVERY DAY ON THE NEWS BROADCASTS.
THEN WE ALSO SEE THE POVERTY, STARVATION, AND THE NOW GREAT REFUGEE SITUATION OF THOSE FLEEING WAR STRICKEN LANDS, TO LANDS THEY HOPE TO FIND, PEACE, REST, DECENT LIVING CONDITIONS, WORK, A BETTER LIFE, A PROSPEROUS LIFE, EDUCATION FOR THEIR CHILDREN, AND A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR CHILDREN.
THE WORLD NEEDS HELP, NEEDS GUIDANCE, NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT BACK INTO THE WAYS OF THE ETERNAL GOD!
THE WORLD IS MESSED UP! GOOD IS SAID TO BE BAD, AND BAD IS SAID TO BE GOOD. UP IS NOW DOWN AND DOWN IS NOW UP.
BY AND LARGE THE NATIONS OF THIS WORLD HAVE GIVEN UP ON GOD AND HIS BIBLE. OUR WESTERN NATIONS HAVE THROWN BOTH OUT THE WINDOW. WE ARE NO LONGER NATIONS FOUNDED UPON THE WORD OF THE LORD AS FOUND IN THE BIBLE.
THE WORLD'S MENTAL ATTITUDE TOWARDS GOD IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE CAST IN IRON, AWAY FROM GOD AND HIS WORD.
TO THINK THE NATION WOULD JUST SIT DOWN AND DECIDE TO RETURN TO THE ETERNAL GOD AND HIS INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO LIVE, AS FOUND IN THE BIBLE..... WELL IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. THE NATIONS HAVE STEPPED OVER THE LINE TO NO RETURN.
SO FOR GOD TO BRING THOSE NATIONS BACK TO HIM, IS GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE SOME HUGE AND HARD LESSONS!! THE WAY TO REPENTANCE FOR THE WORLD IS NOT GOING TO BE EASY!!
THE NATIONS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE BROUGHT MIGHTY LOW, DOWN TO THEIR KNEES, OR FLAT ON THEIR BACK IN THE MUD OF THE EARTH; TO BRING THE NATIONS TO BEING AT-ONE-WITH GOD, IS NOT GOING TO BE A PLEASANT TASK, BUT IT IS NOW THE ONLY WAY IT CAN BE DONE.
TO GIVE UP SIN, OH TO EVEN RECOGNIZE SIN, TO ADMIT SIN, AND THEN TO REPENT OF IT, AND BECOME AT ONE WITH GOD, IS SAD TO SAY, GOING TO HAVE TO BE DONE THE HARD WAY.
THE NATIONS WILL FACE A TRIBULATION LIKE AS NEVER BEFORE SEEN ON EARTH; THEN WHEN ALL SEEMS LOST, WHEN IT SEEMS THERE WILL BE NO HOPE, THE MESSIAH WILL COME FROM HEAVEN TO SAVE MANKIND FROM THEMSELVES. REPENTANCE WILL BE FOUND!
THE NATIONS WILL BE SAVED FROM UTTER SELF DESTRUCTION, AND THEY WILL COME TO BE AT ONE WITH GOD.
THE WORLD WILL REALIZE THEY ARE REFUGEES NEEDING HELP! THEY WILL FIND HELP IN THE FORM OF THE RETURNING MESSIAH CHRIST JESUS, WHO WILL HEAL THEM FROM SIN, GRANT THEM MERCY, POUR OUT HIS SPIRIT ON THEM, AND THEY SHALL FIND SALVATION, AND BE AT ONE WITH GOD.
THE PHYSICAL HARDSHIP OF FASTING [NO FOOD OR WATER] ON THIS DAY REMINDS US OF THE PHYSICAL PAIN THE WORLD WILL HAVE TO SUFFER BEFORE IT CAN BE AT ONE WITH ITS GOD.
BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS..... THE WORLD ONE DAY WILL BE AT ONE WITH GOD, THEN CAN COME THE BEAUTIFUL AND LITERAL AGE TO COME.
AND THAT'S OUR NEXT FEAST TO OBSERVE WITH JOY AND GLADNESS - THE WONDERFUL FEAST OF TABERNACLES!!

BREATHING...THE BREATH OF LIFE.... Dr. Mercola
Breathing Techniques for Greater Health and Fitness
September 19, 2015 |By Dr. Mercola
Two years ago, I interviewed Patrick McKeown about the benefits of the Buteyko Breathing Method — a powerful approach for reversing many health problems associated with improper breathing.Two of the most common problems are overbreathing (hyperventilating) andmouth breathing, both of which have adverse health ramifications, and can have particularly harmful consequences if done during exercise.Patrick has now released a brand new book, The Oxygen Advantage: The Simple, Scientifically Proven Breathing Techniques for a Healthier, Slimmer, Faster, and Fitter You, which reviews the transformative power of correct breathing.Because I believe so much in this work, I wrote the foreword to Patrick's book, and he allowed me to show you his DVD that he normally sells as part of his instructional DVD package.
Yes, There's a 'Right' and a 'Wrong' Way to Breathe...
While it may seem you certainly know how to breathe, considering you'd be dead if you stopped for more than a few minutes, most of us actually breathe in such a way as to put our health in jeopardy.1,2,3In fact, the whole field of breathing and breath-work has enormous potential for improvement, as most prevailing ideas about breathing promoted in yoga, Pilates, and meditative methods tend to focus on taking big, deep breaths — which is actually the opposite of what you should do.The featured video is part of Patrick's online training course for Buteyko practitioners, which examines dysfunctional breathing patterns associated with asthma, rhinitis, and sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, and details the scientific rationale for improving your breathing habits.His DVD set goes into other areas of health that may be affected by improper breathing, and from my point of view, learning to breathe properly is a really core facet of health, so this course may pay dividends in any number of ways.For example, in this lecture you will learn that excessive breathing decreases hydrogen ion concentration in your blood, and in the last few years, a number of studies have emerged showing the value and importance of hydrogen ions in biological health.This is really some of the most amazing new health information I have encountered in some time, and it offers robust scientific support for what Patrick is teaching. I will review these very exciting studies on hydrogen in future articles that relate to many of its exciting health implications.
Chronic Hyperventilation Syndrome
Chronic hyperventilation syndrome was initially documented during the American Civil War, at which time it was termed "irritable heart." The term "hyperventilation syndrome" was coined in 1937 by Dr. Kerr and colleagues.The following year, another group of researchers discovered you could reproduce the symptoms of this syndrome simply by taking 20 or 30 big breaths through your mouth within a span of one or two minutes.As noted by Patrick, once the habit of overbreathing is set in place, it tends to become and remain chronic, and to recover you typically need to use some sort of relearning technique, such as the one devised by Russian doctor Konstantin Buteyko (described at the end of the article).In 1957, Dr. Buteyko came up with the term "disease of deep breathing," having researched the health effects of excessive breathing for over a decade.While still in medical training, one of his assignments included monitoring patients' breathing volume. And he noticed something of interest. The sicker the patient got, the heavier they breathed.Later, he also discovered he could lower his blood pressure simply by bringing his breathing toward normal, and in this way successfully "cured" his own hypertension.
Traits and Effects of Hyperventilation Syndrome
So what exactly is hyperventilation, or "overbreathing?" According to Patrick, hyperventilation is defined as "breathing in excess of metabolic requirements of the body at that time." Traits of dysfunctional breathing include:
Mouth breathing | Upper chest breathing, with lots of visible movement with each breath |
Frequent sighing | Noticeable or audible breathing during rest |
Taking large breaths prior to talking | Erratic breathing |
Regular sniffing | Yawning with big breaths |
Chronic rhinitis (nasal congestion and runny nose) | Sleep apnea4,5,6,7 |
The repercussions of chronic overbreathing include cardiovascular, neurological, respiratory, muscular, gastrointestinal, and psychological effects, such as:
Heart palpitations | Missed heart beats | Tachycardia | Sharp or atypical chest pain |
Angina | Cold hands and feet | Raynaud's | Headache |
Capillary vasoconstriction | Dizziness | Feeling faint | Paresthesias (numbness, tingling, and pins and needles) |
Shortness of breath, or chest tightness | Irritable cough | Muscle cramps, pain, and stiffness | Anxiety, panic, and phobias |
Allergies | Difficulty swallowing; globus (lump in the throat) | Acid reflux, heartburn | Gas, belching, bloating, and abdominal discomfort |
Weakness; exhaustion | Impaired concentration and memory | Disturbed sleep, including nightmares | Emotional sweating |
What Is Normal Breathing, and What Causes Dysfunctional Breathing?
Normal breathing volume is approximately four to six liters of air per minute during rest, equating to 10 to 12 breaths per minute. But rather than focusing on the number of breaths, Patrick teaches to breathe softly and calmly and has the saying "breathe light to breathe right."Meanwhile, breathing volume for people with asthma tends to be around 13 to 15 liters per minute, and those with sleep apnea breathe on average 10 to 15 liters per minute.In short, asthmatics and those with sleep apnea breathe far too much — upwards of three times more than normal — and this dysfunctional breathing pattern is part of their disease profile.
So what causes this dysfunctional breathing in the first place? According to Patrick, most dysfunctional breathing patterns are rooted in the modern lifestyle. Factors include:
Processed food (which are acid forming) Overeating Excessive talking Stress Believing it's good to take big, deep breaths Lack of exercise Asthma Genetic predisposition or familial habits High temperature indoors
Breathing for Stress Relief
Of these, stress plays an enormous role, if only for the fact that most of us experience a great deal of it these days. Unfortunately, conventional advice to "breathe deep" to release tension only worsens the situation. According to Patrick, one of the most effective ways to address stress is to slow down your breathing.Stress makes you breathe faster and promotes sighing, so to counteract or release stress, you need to do the opposite — breathe slower, softer, and make your breathing more regular. Ideally, your breathing should be so light, soft, and gentle "that the fine hairs within the nostrils remain motionless."Importantly, make sure to breathe through your nose, not your mouth. According to the late Dr. Maurice Cottle, who founded the American Rhinologic Society in 1954, your nose performs at least 30 functions, all of which are important supplements to the roles played by the lungs, heart, and other organs.8Part of the benefits of nose breathing is related to the fact that there is nitric oxide in your nose, and when you breathe gently and slowly through your nose, you carry a small amount of this beneficial gas into your lungs.Nitric oxide not only helps maintain homeostasis, or balance, within your body, it's also helps to open your airways (bronchodilation), open your blood vessels (vasodilation), and has antibacterial properties that helps neutralize germs and bacteria.
Nose breathing also helps normalize your breathing volume. This is important because when you chronically overbreathe, the heavier breathing volume that's coming into your lungs can cause a disturbance of blood gasses, including the loss of carbon dioxide (CO2).
How Your Body Regulates Breathing
As noted in the featured lecture, your breath is primarily regulated by brain receptors that monitor the concentration of carbon dioxide and pH level (and to a lesser extent the level of oxygen) in your blood.Typically, we believe the reason we feel the need to breathe is because our body needs oxygen, but the stimulus to breathe is actually to get rid of excess carbon dioxide. However, carbon dioxide is not just a waste gas. It performs a number of important functions in your body. Your body does need a certain amount of carbon dioxide at all times, and one of the side effects of overbreathing is removing too much carbon dioxide.As carbon dioxide levels lower, so too does hydrogen ion leading to an excess of bicarbonate ions and a deficiency in hydrogen ions, which shifts the pH of your blood toward alkaline.Now, if your breathing exceeds what your body requires over a period of time, even as short as 24 hours, your body becomes conditioned to increase its breathing volume. This is one of the ways stress ends up having a chronic impact on your biology.Moreover, if you're chronically overbreathing, it doesn't take much to push your body over the proverbial edge — even a minor emotional stressor can now provoke symptoms, be it a panic attack or heart-related problem, as overbreathing produces constriction of your arteries, thereby reducing blood flow to both brain and heart (as well as the rest of your body).But the issue that triggered the attack was not the stressor itself, the main issue was the fact that you're chronically breathing too much. One traditional remedy for a panic attack was to breathe four or five breaths into a paper bag to increase carbon dioxide levels, allowing better blood flow to your brain. A more permanent solution is to address the way you breathe every day.
Hyperventilating Reduces Oxygen Delivery
Overbreathing not only reduces carbon dioxide, it also reduces the delivery of oxygen to the tissues and organs in your body — essentially the opposite of what people normally think happens when you breathe heavily. This is part and parcel why hyperventilating through your mouth during exercise is ill advised. In a nutshell, hyperventilation can cause severe constriction of your carotid arteries, and can reduce the amount of available oxygen to your brain by half.This is why you may feel light headed when breathing too hard, and this may be one of the mechanisms that can lead to the sudden death of even very fit marathon runners — typically from cardiac arrest. So, during your workout, be sure to breathe through your nose the entire time.If you start sucking air through your mouth, back off on the intensity so that you can go back to breathing through your nose. In time, you'll be able to exercise at greater intensity and still breathe through your nose, which is a sign that your fitness is improving. Breathing through your nose at all times is also a primary step that will help restore a more normal breathing volume.
The Buteyko Breathing Method
Dr. Buteyko discovered that the level of carbon dioxide in your lungs correlates to your ability to hold your breath after normal exhalation. The Buteyko Method includes a simple self-test for estimating your carbon dioxide levels. You can use a stopwatch or simply count the number of seconds to yourself. Here is the process:
- Sit straight without crossing your legs and breathe comfortably and steadily.
- Take a small, silent breath in and out through your nose. After exhaling, pinch your nose to keep air from entering.
- Start your stopwatch and hold your breath until you feel the first definite desire to breathe.
- When you feel the first urge to breathe, resume breathing and note the time. The urge to breathe may come in the form of involuntary movements of your breathing muscles, or your tummy may jerk or your throat may contract. This is not a breath holding competition — what you're measuring is how long you can comfortably and naturally hold your breath.
- Your inhalation should be calm and controlled, through your nose. If you feel like you must take a big breath, then you held your breath too long.
The time you just measured is called the "control pause" or CP, and it reflects the tolerance of your body to carbon dioxide. Short control pause times correlate with low tolerance to CO2 and chronically depleted CO2 levels. Here are the criteria for evaluating your control pause (CP):
- CP 40 to 60 seconds: Indicates a normal, healthy breathing pattern, and excellent physical endurance
- CP 20 to 40 seconds: Indicates mild breathing impairment, moderate tolerance to physical exercise, and potential for health problems in the future (most folks fall into this category)
- CP 10 to 20 seconds: Indicates significant breathing impairment and poor tolerance to physical exercise; nasal breath training and lifestyle modifications are recommended (potential areas are poor diet, overweight, excess stress, excess alcohol, etc.)
- CP under 10 seconds: Serious breathing impairment, very poor exercise tolerance, and chronic health problems; Dr. Buteyko recommends consulting a Buteyko practitioner for assistance
In summary, the shorter your CP, the more easily you'll get breathless during physical exercise. If your CP is less than 20 seconds, NEVER have your mouth open during exercise, as your breathing is too unstable. This is particularly important if you have asthma. The good news is that you will feel better and improve your exercise endurance with each five-second increase in your CP, which you can accomplish by incorporating the following Buteyko breathing exercise.
How to Improve Your Control Pause (CP)
The first step to increase your CP is to learn how to unblock your nose with the following breath hold exercise. While this exercise is a perfectly safe exercise for the vast majority of people, if you have any cardiac problems, high blood pressure, are pregnant, have type 1 diabetes, panic attacks, or any serious health concern, then please do not hold your breath beyond the first urges to breathe. Repeat the following exercise several times in succession, waiting about 30 to 60 seconds in between rounds. And do the exercise on a regular basis.
- Sit up straight.
- Take a small breath in through your nose, and a small breath out.
- Pinch your nose with your fingers and hold your breath. Keep your mouth closed.
- Gently nod your head or sway your body until you feel that you cannot hold your breath any longer. (Hold your nose until you feel a strong desire to breathe.)
- When you need to breathe in, let go of your nose, and breathe gently through it, in and out, with your mouth closed.
- Calm your breathing as soon as possible.
Breathing Correctly Is a Simple and Free Way to Boost Your Health and Fitness
The Buteyko Breathing Method is a powerful and inexpensive tool that can help improve your health, longevity, quality of life, and athletic performance. I strongly recommend integrating it into your lifestyle, and when you're ready, into your exercise. Just remember to progress slowly with exercise and gradually decrease the time that you need to rely on mouth breathing.To learn more, I highly recommend Patrick's excellent book, The Oxygen Advantage, as well as his DVD set. The book contains both detailed and simplified descriptions of each Buteyko breathing exercise, along with quick reference guides, case studies, and scientific details to help you understand and apply the Oxygen Advantage program to improve your health and fitness. You can also find more information on his website, OxygenAdvantage.com.
