Do
You Know How to Breathe?
The breath
of life means exactly what it says. To breathe is to live. Not to breathe
is to die. A human being can exist without food for weeks . . . without
water for days . . . but without air he cannot exist for even a few minutes!
This
fact is so obvious and breathing is so automatic that most people simply
take it for granted. But do you really know how to breathe? Stop and think
about it for a moment. Do you really know how your lungs function? Do
you use these marvelous organs to their fullest capacity? The way you
use your lungs controls your health . . . your looks . . . the way you
feel . . . your resistance to disease . . . your very life span!
Super
Power Breathing is High Vibration Living
As life
extension specialists for well over half a century, we have developed
techniques for measuring mental and physical energy in humans. Everyone
lives at a certain rate of vibration. Unfortunately, very few live at
the high vibration rate of which the human body is capable, because only
a few know how to generate, utilize and replenish their full capacity
of energy.
These
high vibration people are the doers. They display seemingly inexhaustible
vitality and stamina, creative power and/or athletic ability of the highest
quality. They never seem to tire. They perform mental and physical tasks
without strain, tension and excessive emotion. To high vibration achievers
everything seems to be easy.
Above
all, they are happy, contented people who always seem to find the humorous
side of life. They are full of personal magnetism. They are enthusiastic
beyond the ordinary. They are a pleasure to be with . . . both sociable
and movable. They have bright and happy dispositions. They are free from
hang ups and mental blocks. These are the well adjusted people who enjoy
a more fulfilling, healthy, happy life.
What
is their secret? How do they live at a superior rate of high vibration?
The answer is really very simple. Such people consume large amounts of
oxygen. They breathe deeply and fully, utilizing every square inch of
their lung capacity.
The more
oxygen you can breathe into your lungs, the more energy you will have
and the higher will be your rate of vibration. It is very much like a
fire in an open fireplace . . . the more oxygen the fire gets, the brighter
it will burn. The less oxygen it gets, the less heat and more unwanted
smoke it generates.
Super
Power Breathing Increases Energy
At age
16, my father, Paul C. Bragg, was officially diagnosed with a hopeless
case of tuberculosis . . . yet by age 18, he had become a successful athlete.
During those two years he was introduced to and cured by the Science of
Natural Living - a science which he dedicated the rest of his life to
and shared with millions worldwide.
Paul
C. Bragg has become a great-great-grandfather and, to his credit, he can
still outlast most people half his age or less in any competition requiring
energy and stamina. He can easily type for hours without mental or physical
fatigue. He enjoys all sports. He loves hiking, jogging, biking, swimming,
lifting weights, surfing, playing tennis and polo and has climbed some
of the world's highest mountains.
He has
kept himself in a high rate of mental and physical vibration by supplying
his body with the correct fuel: natural, healthy live foods and, above
all, super power oxygen. He continues to help people in all walks of life
- musicians, singers, writers, artists, doctors and lawyers, as well as
athletes and active sportsmen, office workers and housewives - to achieve
the enjoyment of a superior state of healthy living.
The basic
source of super-oxygen-vibration is knowing how to deeply fill your lungs
with oxygen. Everyone is born with this capacity, but only a few people
retain it naturally.
Whatever
your age, it is never too early or too late to learn how to increase your
energy by the Bragg System of Super Power Breathing. Within months of
faithfully following the breathing exercises in this book, you too can
learn how to fill your lungs with energy-producing, super power oxygen.
You will enjoy the thrill of this great natural stimulation. It is far
more potent than that of any artificial stimulant such as alcohol, coffee,
tea, cola drinks or drugs . . . and has no adverse side effects! In fact,
the side effects of oxygen stimulation add up to the bonus of a longer,
healthier and fuller lifetime.
Living
at a Medium So-So Rate of Vibration
Certain
levels of vitality and energy, both mental and physical, are attained
by people who live at a medium rate of vibration. While they have a fine
capacity for work and play, they are not capable of the sustained effort
achieved by those at a high level. Medium-vibration people tire more easily.
They lack endurance, particularly under stress. Exhaustion induced by
tension and strain forces them to stop and rest.
Such
people simply do not get enough vital oxygen to give them that extra something
to keep going under physical, mental or emotional pressures. Under extreme
pressure they run out of gas . . . they are lacking the high vibration
(deep power breathing) it takes to make the additional effort.
Why?
Because they are not using the full capacity of their lungs for energy-producing
oxygen. They can't get their second wind. That is the difference between
the person who lives in the super, high vibration and those who have achieved
only a medium rate of vibration.
Miracle
Values of the Second Wind
At a
high rate of vibration, when you consume your full quota of oxygen, you
are able to get your second wind and feel stronger than when you began
your effort. That second wind is what makes the great athlete, the great
politician, the great statesman, the great professional man or woman,
the writer, the great singer, actor, dancer and the go-getter.
When
you learn to use the full capacity of your lungs through the Bragg System
of Super Power Breathing, you will experience this wonderful stimulation
of the second wind. Just when you think you have run out of energy and
vitality, this sudden renewal of strength occurs. It is an experience
truly difficult to describe. When you feel that you cannot take another
step, that your brain power is all gone and your thinking befuddled .
. . suddenly a great surge of energy courses through your entire body
and you feel as fresh as, or even stronger, than when you started! What
a tremendous sensation! When you breathe correctly, you experience this
amazing second wind. Athletes have won many contests with the help of
this natural miracle.
Shallow
Breathing Causes Premature Ageing
Even
the people who live at a medium rate of vibration are in the minority.
In our civilized world today, we regret to report, most people are only
half-alive . . . they merely exist at a very low rate of physical and
mental vibration. This includes people of all ages, from early teens to
late 80s (if they live that long).
Research
has shown that, in modern civilized countries, only babies use their lungs
as Mother Nature intended. All too soon they acquire the unnatural civilized
habit of shallow (low vibration) breathing. They use only the top part
of their lungs. This shallow breathing starves your body of the vital
oxygen it must have to be truly alive. That is why you see so many people
- from teenagers to oldsters - crowding doctors' offices, clinics, sanitariums,
hospitals and convalescent homes.
