The Reset Breath©


..... The natural rhythm between the systems of the body affects our wellness on all levels. The body is dependent upon the breath (the lungs), the heart and the ability of the brain to send and receive signals. When that rhythm is interrupted, dis-ease of the mind becomes disease of the body. Our body’s Original Blueprint contains all the information necessary to support our life experience. The Reset Breath gently reminds the internal system that it already knows exactly what to do.

How It Works

     Jonathan Goldman, in his book Healing Sounds, The Power of Harmonics, suggests the following about breathing and the breath. The stillpoint between the in-breath and the out-breath…is believed by many to be the time during the cycle of the breath when the human body is locked in resonance with itself. Scientist Itzhak Bentov, among others, believes that during this time, the body creates a wave form that operates at about 7.8 cycles per second. This is a frequency which is believed to be the resonant frequency of the Earth and that during this time; we are, however briefly, also locked in resonance with the energy of the Earth. Could this be the moment we experience our connectedness with all things? Can we re-create this experience…and re-member?

     It has long been known that breath is not only necessary for life it is essential to our moving from a state of fight or flight to one of calm. If we want to change a pattern, it is necessary to consciously suggest to the brain that a change is in order. The Reset Breath is an effective way to send that signal.

Changing The Brain

     Our normal cycle of breathing is an inhale followed by an exhale…in and out. The Reset Breath suggests that beginning with an exhale sends a conscious signal to the brain that a change is being requested. Through The Illusion© provides an opportunity to listen and participate in learning The Reset Breath.

     Breath sequence has been used in the Lamaze program and many others that focus on the breath. One purpose of The Reset Breath is to transition from one task to another by bringing awareness to our breathing. Establishing this habit as we are completing each task, rather than merging it with the ones that precede and follow it, can result in less fatigue at the end of each day.

Learning The Reset Breath 1-2-3

     …many have been taught improper breathing techniques during school or some other time when we were told that taking a deep breath meant bringing up our shoulders.

     Take a deep breath now and observe what happens to your body. If your lower rib cage and stomach are expanding when you take this breath, you are doing diaphragmatic breathing. Usually this is a very relaxed breath. However, if you notice that your shoulders are raising and the stomach and lower ribs are not moving, you are not breathing from the diaphragm. You are also probably tense.

Experiential – The Reset Breath
  • Read this before beginning The Reset Breath. Begin with an exhale or "blowing out" through the mouth. Take a long, slow deep inhale through the nose, followed by a slow, complete exhale or "blowing out" through the mouth. After the final exhale, be aware of what you sense might be taking place in your body - paying particular attention to your shoulder area.
  • Now, you are ready to do the Reset Breath...Exhale fully and completely through your mouth. (Pause) Inhale slowly and deeply through your nose. (Pause) Exhale slowly through your mouth. (Notice the body posture. There is often an obvious relaxation in the shoulder area and/or facial muscles.)
