I was wondering about this, Smile. I'm learning the Buteyko method of breathing, which means we breathe LESS. I'm doing this because I got asthma from allergic reaction to a dog. I'm trying hard to get rid of the asthma.
And I've been puzzled about the fact that we have all been encouraged to breathe deeply... I dont know what I'm saying here, except your book link is timely to me, very. thanks.
Have you read it all? 50 euros worth?
I dont find that breathing deeply and over-breathing go hand-in-hand. In my experience I can take very long, slow breaths
into my abdomen, then breathe out for twice the length (with a long, comfortable pause at the end of the out-breath), and this slows me down (my heart slows, my pulse slows, my thoughts become slow and quiet etc) and I get a nice pulsing energy feeling throughout my body... The amount of oxygen I breathed in is much less than normal, but the depth of the breath is much greater than normal... i.e. I use more of my lungs but the oxygen intake to time ratio is much lower.
Thanks for the links, Max... I always thought H- was the superior form of hydrogen (as a kind-of yin molecule, it bonds to free-radicals, neutralising them) but I'll give your links a thorough read-through.
Have you tried the H+ water at all?
