Liquid Body – And Belly Breathing for Complete Health
When we think of the body we think of a solid mass comprising many different organs that perform special functions.
In a sense that is right. However, the human body is 70 percent water. And if you look deeper, the body’s solid mass contains many different systems containing liquids.
Like water, which needs to flow, our body’s fluids also need to flow.
Some of the systems in the body are:
Respiratory system
Nervous system
Circulatory system
Endocrine system
Digestive system
Reproductive system
Muscular system
Lymphatic system
Urinary system
Excretory system
Immune system
When these systems work well and the fluids, air etc flow well, the different organs are well-supplied with nutrients and the resources needed for their healthy functioning.
Of all the major muscles in the body, the diaphragm is among the biggest and most critical. We may not normally notice or give it any importance but the diaphragm is also like a powerful hydraulic pump that helps move the fluids around in all parts of the body.
This ‘hydraulic pump’ works best when the stomach area is allowed to be relaxed and at ease. Any tension in the area causes the diaphragm to stiffen and that hampers its elasticity and ability to function optimally.
When the stomach area is allowed to stay relaxed as much as possible, the hydraulic pumping function of the diaphragm can be used effectively. That will help and enable the different systems to function better and more efficiently as they carry their gifts to all the organs.
That’s the reason I consider belly breathing as a near-complete disease buster breath.
Please read why in this piece below,
The Near-Complete Disease Buster Breath
For years I’ve been trying to awaken people to the role of stress in causing disease and illness and easy breath ‘cures’ for most diseases and conditions like Diabetes (Bood Sugar), Hypertension (high BP), kidney-related conditions, liver and digestion issues, heart diseases, ED, PE, fibromyalgia, sciatica, chronic backaches etc.
Recently, the number of people suffering from kidney and kidney-related issues seems to have gone extremely high. Read here about the role of stress in kidney-related problems.
‘Stress and uncontrolled reactions to stress can also lead to kidney damage. As the blood filtering units of your body, your kidneys are prone to problems with blood circulation and blood vessels. High blood pressure and high blood sugar can place an additional strain or burden on your kidneys. People with high blood pressure and diabetes are at a higher risk for kidney disease. People with kidney disease are at higher risk for heart and blood vessel disease. If you already have heart and blood vessel disease and kidney disease, then the body’s reactions to stress can become more and more dangerous. Therefore, whether your goal is to prevent heart and/or kidney disease, or improve your health while living with heart and/or kidney disease, managing stress is an important part of maintaining your overall health.’
Diabetes or blood sugar is similarly affected by stress. Read about it here:
‘If stress doesn’t go away, it can keep your blood sugar levels high and put you at higher risk of diabetes complications. It can also affect your mood and how you look after yourself, which can start to affect your emotional health. But there are things you can do to take the pressure off.’
Hypertension or High BP is definitely affected by stress. While research has not claimed proof that stress causes high BP, there’s enough circumstantial evidence to establish that connection. Read about it here:
‘The body releases a surge of hormones when under stress. These hormones cause the heart to beat faster and the blood vessels to narrow. These actions increase blood pressure for a time.
‘There’s no proof that stress by itself causes long-term high blood pressure. But reacting to stress in unhealthy ways can raise blood pressure and increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. Behaviors linked to higher blood pressure include:
‘Drinking too much alcohol or caffeine.
Eating unhealthy foods.
Eating too much.
Not moving enough.
Heart disease also might be linked to certain health conditions related to stress, such as:
‘Anxiety.
Depression.
Being cut off from friends and family.
There’s no proof that these conditions are directly linked to high blood pressure. But the hormones the body makes when under emotional stress might damage arteries. The artery damage might lead to heart disease. And symptoms of depression and anxiety might cause some people to forget to take medicines to control high blood pressure or other heart conditions.
‘Stress can cause a steep rise in blood pressure. But when stress goes away, blood pressure returns to what it was before the stress. However, short spikes in blood pressure can cause heart attacks or strokes and may also damage blood vessels, the heart and the kidneys over time. The damage is like the damage from long-term high blood pressure.’
Proof or no proof, there’s enough connection to make one raise a flag against stress.
Hypertension, heart disease, stress and other related conditions are all a family of illnesses impacting each other. Stress is clearly the thread runner ng through them all. ED, chronic aches and pains, fibromyalgia, sciatica, varicose veins etc all similarly impacted due to inadequate availability of nutrients from the circulatory systems.
One thing that stress causes directly is vasoconstriction. And these are also connected with the SNS (Sympathetic Nervous System). The longer one’s autonomic nervous system is in the SNS mode, the longer there are stress-related issues and vasoconstriction leading to blockages.
Blockages naturally interfere with the supply of nutrients and energy to different organs which leads to some of them beginning to dysfunction. That’s why heart blockages, brain strokes etc among more serious consequences also are connected with the SNS and vasoconstriction.
The first and easiest step is to merely learn to belly breathe. The more one belly breathes and allows it to become their default system of breathing, the easier their recovery will be. Naturally, the speed and extent of recovery or reversal will depend on well one belly breathes. That means ‘allowing belly breathing to happen’!
Here’s a YouTube video sharing the belly breathing technique. It’s long and it explains the logic behind the need to ‘allow belly breathing to happen’:
Once belly breathing is mastered, one can dive deeper into the magic world of breath which offers amazing gifts of health, wellness, energy and spiritual growth. It will help cure and reverse many chronic conditions and ailments.
The final superbreath is the SWA-TANTRA Breath program which includes the amazing HANUMAN MASTER BREATH and Lotus Opening techniques, a gift from Hanumanji. Many articles have been shared about the SWA-TANTRA Program so it’s only being mentioned here. But that’s only for those who are ready to dive deep.
For most diseases and conditions mentioned above, the belly breathing technique explained in the video will suffice for starters…
