                   With some discussion, that includes a few 
                    simple exercises, we will outline the relationships between 
                    the external stimuli and feedback from the world around us, 
                    to the breath, the emotions, the thoughts, and the tissues 
                    of the body.  
                  Pollution and aging, and their connection with the 
                    breath.   
                  The lungs are the main excretory organ set in the body. They 
                    are responsible for the removal of 70% of the toxins and free-radicals 
                    that go into the body and cause disease and aging.  The skin 
                    is responsible for 20% of the free-radicals and toxins while 
                    the lower functions (bladder and bowel movement) only carry 
                    10 percent of the load! If the lower functions are all you 
                    are exercising, you are accumulating up to 90% of the poisons 
                    and free-radicals that are going into your body!!!  
                  This is why exercise is such an important part of a healthy 
                    body. The lungs and skin function to remove toxins during 
                    the exercise process.  The breath is connected to everything 
                    we do, say, think, experience, and feel. When painful emotions, 
                    thoughts experiences and feelings come up for us and we do 
                    not wish to process them, we store this vibrational information 
                    in the tissues of the body. We must process these feelings 
                    in order to move them from the tissues of the body. 
                   The breath is a most important tool for this process, and 
                    by taking control of the awareness of our breath's relationship 
                    to our bodies, we are able to balance and maintain healthy 
                    experience.

                 The lungs also pull 
                  into the body vibration itself, called in the east Prana, or 
                  Chi , Ki or Qi- It is movement itself which the body also 
                  uses to govern and carry out it's ongoing process of chemically 
                  moving vibrations in and out of the body's organization, and 
                  the vibrational content of the gases breathed in to the lungs 
                  is assimilated by body when the breath is engaged with a certain 
                  awareness held by the breather. The awareness of where the effort 
                  is placed within the breathing cycle is a key factor.  The 
                  human creature seems to cultivate and maintain a breathing pattern 
                  which differs from all other animals. As you monitor an animal 
                  in it's breathing cycle you will find that the creature is always 
                  taking are in or letting air out.. 
                   The human seems to spend a good deal of time doing neither, 
                    and then when prompted or pushed to it, allows air in and 
                    then uses the effort to expel the air. It is backwards from 
                    the sort of breathing we see in other animals. The other animals 
                    use the effort in the process to pull the air in, using the 
                    abdominal muscles, and allowing the air to escape of its own 
                    momentum, the sort of pattern one find oneself when engaged 
                    in vigorous excercise, or sexual activity.  As we breathe, 
                    the thoughts, emotions, and words which are attached to our 
                    breath create the system of beliefs and limits we live within, 
                    and have the ability to effectively define and re-create in 
                    order to deeper manifest our desires into the co-creative 
                    process with the Holy Spirit that we are engaged in called 
                    our lives. Cultivating and maintaining a relationship to our 
                    word and the exercise of the breath are the highest and most 
                    important engagements involved with successful manifesting 
                    in the material world!!!
