Learning the science behind breathing’s relationship to your nervous system (your physiological, biological, and behavioral state) and gaining an understanding of how voluntary breathing patterns and techniques harness your nervous system and biochemistry to support health, performance and resilience are helpful, but it’s not vital. And it's not enough.

You need to practice. You need to experience it. You need to feel what's going on inside your body, brain and nervous system as you implement the strategies - this is how you actually change for the better.

The quickest and easiest way to go through this course is to watch the video contained in each section. In addition, make sure to "Measure Your Controlled Pause" and take the "Breathing Dysfunction Quiz" in the section titled "Do You Have a Breathing Problem?"

When you get to the practices, simply follow along in order, doing just one practice per day, or repeating each practice for several days in a row, then moving on to the next practice.

Then, if you really want to learn more, you can dive into the details by jumping back into the additional lessons contained in each section.

I’ve compiled this course by simplifying a ton of leading-edge research and I’ve included some of those materials in the resources and references section at the end of the course. And if you are inclined to take your practice to another level, head into the "Expand Your Practice" chapter, or visit my Youtube Page. 

Bottom Line:

You can make this course as much or as little as you’d like to. No matter how deep you dive, it will provide you with a solid foundation for mastering the skill of breathing.
