mastery over our negative thoughts and habits fighters and soros let us take a brief moment to reflect on an area in our lives where we could apply self-discipline how to use breeding to improve our thoughts in concluding this presentation we will review how we can use breathing to clear negative thoughts and improve cognition with discipline use we will find it produces many physiological benefits

the benefit of breeding is more than just the supply of oxygen to our bodies a conscious alteration of our breeding can produce many beneficial physiological outcomes study shows that there is they have studies show that there is an increased cognitive function and emotional well-being associated with controlled breeding on this screen are publications reporting the beneficia the beneficial physiological outcomes of controlled breeding control breeding has been shown to improve stress anxiety and depression others reported that controlled breeding optimizes ventilation gas exchange and arterial oxygenation maximizing vagal tone maintains parasympathetic and sympathetic balance and optimizes the

amount of cardiorespiratory reserve that could be called upon in times of pain and mental stress several studies show that there is an increased movement of cerebral spinal fluid to the brain during inhalation cerebral spinal fluid csf supplies nutrients to the brain control breeding also increases synchronized neural oscillation also known as brain waves and improves memory and recollection recent studies linked the beneficial effect of control breathing to the slow movement of the diaphragm and nasal inhalation rather than exhalation resulting in synchronized neural activities and oscillations in the brain scientists believe

this synchronized neural activities and oscillation causes the beneficial physiological outcomes in controlled breeding our reciprocity and teachings have always maintained that breeding has an organizing function and scientific studies are confirming this in our teachings the reason for this organizing function in breeding is due to the cosmic essence present in the air which through respiration exhausts an influence on the physical and psychic bodies we can use breeding to declare negative thoughts in the following manner sit in front of an open window or outside in the open where there is fresh air take several deep breaths inhaling

through your nose and exhaling through your mouth visualize the negative thoughts exiting the body and being neutralized by the air immediately afterwards focus on positive thoughts and all inspiring works let us now proceed with this exercise if it is convenient sit in front of an open window take several deep breaths inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth if you have a worrisome thought you may

visualize it exiting your body and being neutralized by the cosmic afterwards focus on a positive thoughts or inspiring work if you do not have a worrisome thought you may continue deep breathing for its health benefit and afterwards drink a glass of water in conclusion
