Memorable Moments:

\u201dWhen we change the way somebody breathes, we change their entire health.\u201d

\u201cThe average person is unconscious about how they breathe, and it\u2019s something that we do 23,000 times a day, whether we like it or not. And air, believe it or not, is the thing that we consume the most. The average person, the average adult, consumes about 30 pounds of air a day.\u201d

\u201dHow we breathe plays a huge role in our immune health, plays a huge role in our energy levels, plays a huge role in how well we detoxify and eliminate toxicity from our body. In fact, 70% of the toxins in our body are actually eliminated through the lungs.\u201d

\u201dIt\u2019s a very sophisticated instrument of healing, and it\u2019s also very simple. We\u2019re already doing it. We just need to draw our consciousness to it and then make the minor adjustments and shifts so that now we are breathing in a way that prioritizes our health.\u201d

\u201dOur breath overrides the brain\u2026How our children breathe and how we as adults breathe is super informative to the nervous system, to our cellular respiratory system, and also to our behavior as well.\u201d

\u201cThe easiest analogy I can give to people is that the breath is like the steering wheel of the nervous system. So are we breathing in such a way that it\u2019s steering us in the right direction or are we breathing in such a way that it\u2019s steering us in an undesirable direction.\u201d

\u201cWe want our nervous system to match our desired state, and our nervous system is steered by our breath.\u201d
