Holistic Breathing

To breathe is to live and to be alive one has to breathe. In esoteric breathing, life is not measured in terms of years but in the number of breaths.Breathing is a mechanical act of inhalation and exhalation of atmospheric air, in and out of the body. Esoterically, breathing is effected through the " Holistic Nostrils of the Brain " , the filtering Photonic/Acoustic Band-gap crystalline structures in the Cribriform Plate at the base of the anterior cranial fossa of the skull and the roof of the nasal cavities. We breathe in the environmental space by inhalation of volatile or gaseous molecules of the ambient air. These are are firstly sampled through the pits of Jacobson's organ ( Vomeronasal Organ -VNO ), The Sixth Sense for Extra-Sensory Perception ( ESP ) and the converted electromagnetic impulses are transmitted by the liquid crystalline medium to the filtering bandgap structures in the cribriform plate.Respiration is an on-going process from womb to the tomb, a life and energy generating process - Hahneman 's Vital Principle.
