Breathing is also linked to our cosmic being. The number of breaths we take
in a day is the same as the number of years in the greater sun year, 25,920.
The relationship to the heart beat is also there ca. 110,000 which gives a
ratio of about 4 / 1 . four heat beats per breath. When the ratio is abused
for longer periods of time it may affect the health of the heart. There are
sure to be other relationships too, so sure breathing well is vitaly
important. I frequentl use a few minutes of deep breathing at the beginning
of a treatment.
Thanks for bringing in this subject Jane.
Peter.
