Podcast 49 - How to Normalize Your Weight By Breathing

April 18th, 2008 by Richard Cockrum

Gain weight. Lose weight. Eat this. No! Eat that. Follow this diet. Follow that diet. Take this pill. Use this herb. Life as a yo-yo goes on and on while meanwhile you flush money down the drain.

For most people, the secret of losing weight isn’t much of a secret. Eat fewer calories than you burn off. When you do eat, eat decent food. Get some reasonable degree of exercise. Gain control over the emotional factors that lead you to eat more than you should.

There is one more thing you can do. Breathe.

Yes, breathe. There is a breathing technique developed in India called agni sara. One of its effects is to help you normalize your weight. If you are overweight, it can help you lose some of the excess. If you are underweight, it can help you put a few pounds on. The technique is simple, takes just a few minutes a day, and in conjunction with proper food and other exercise, preferably yoga :) , can help you utilize what you do eat more effectively. Listen to this episode of the Shards of Consciousness podcast and learn how to perform agni sara.

    Thanks for the podcast. This is something new to me. When it comes to losing and keeping off those last stubborn 15 pounds or so I’ve tried everything else, it certainly can’t hurt to give this a shot.

    Thanks again,

    You’re welcome, tbea. Thank you for listening.

    This is my experience, but breath is as necessary to our bodies’ metabolism as good food and exercise. I wish you well.
