BREATHING TIPS

As part of the body's fuel system, breathing recommendations for oxygen intake were often given to increase vitality of the body in general, according to Eric Mein, M.D. The most common one was to take several minutes each morning and each evening to combine deep invigorating breaths with gentle stretching. Often, there was the suggestion to alternate nostril breaths. Starting with three or more inhalations through the right nostril for strength and then three or more through the left nostril for the "easing" of the body, which the Cayce material connected with the spiritual. Exhalations are made through the mouth.

In the morning, one is to rise up on the toes and lift the arms above the head with an emphasis on filling the lungs deeply. In the evening, the technique varied, but at times the goal was to empty the lungs and breathing was combined with a forward bending motion.
