Breathing techniques for the nervous system

Florence Thomas

Asia Africa Intelligence Wire, July 29, 2004 pNA. New Straits Times (Malaysia

“The human body should be under the control of the para-sympathetic nervous system but because of stress, control has been "pushed over" into the sympathetic section of the nervous system. (This system is intended to operate in emergencies only, and not on a day-to-day basis.)”

 The parasympathetic nervous system takes over when one is breathing deeply and fully thus stimulating a relaxation response. Chemically there are endorphins, pain-killing peptides like enkephalin and serotonin released in the body and this combination along with other hormones and neuro-peptides make you feel calm. Tension in the muscles releases and the nervous system is in a relaxed state. 

If you walk around feeling like your nerves are frayed most of the time you may be a shallow breather.

Speaking and Breathing

American Salesman, April 1991 v36 n4 p10(6).

How to improve your speaking ability. Frances Smith

Salespeople can improve their speaking ability by doing deep breathing exercises, by increasing the blood circulation in their mouth by puffing out their cheeks slightly over their teeth, and by improving resonance, clarity, control, and range through simple spoken exercises.
