Asthma Healing

For the first time, I really stuck it out and concentrated on my breath throughout an asthma attack. Not like an "I need to go to the hospital" one-- never had one of those and I'm not on strong medication-- just the kind that I usually take my puffer for.

I am starting to worry about my over-use of Albuterol, and have read that merely changing the way you breathe can completely reverse the effects of asthma, with practice. I have also read that asthmatics become addicted to their inhalers and the body will produce an attack from very minute stimuli because it has a crutch.

So I concentrated throughout, and it took about an hour for symptoms to cease. I am left with a slightly sore feeling above the heart chakra that I guess I have to work on, and it got my umbilical hernia a bit upset for a second, but other than that, I am responding very well to things that usually get my lungs raspy again. I have a lot more control with a lot less need to concentrate on it, it seems. I feel kind of proud, because usually when I tell myself I'm gonna do this I cash-out early from impatience.

I am an asthma sufferer. I have had many very bad attacks. I have been admitted to hospital and put on steroids. But you have hit the nail on the head! I moved out of home at 16 and because I was poor, I didnt have money to fund my medication. I was in denial for a while thinking I could live without it. I would control my breathing through my attacks. Also, black coffee was good for depleting the symptoms. Many hospital trips and steriods later, I have realised that I DO have asthma and that it needs to be treated. As it is a very aggressive chronic strain. However, my friend Jase has done the same thing and has not had to puff on an inhaler for 4 years. He said that the trick was not to register in your brain that you're having trouble breathing, as he felt it was slight panic that triggered it off....change the breathing pattern and get on with other stuff...it will have far less physical effect on you and last a fraction of an hour!! Keep it up and good luck, I'm sure you can gain full control of your own body. I only wish I could have done the same. I still use the breathing techniques and black coffee sometimes to avoid steroids.

"This was on our news yesterday evening and it was shocking, it was literally stating AI is a threat to humanity and in 10yrs could actually even wipe out the human race..in other words its like the movies have been depicting The Terminator or I…"

"That link saying Trump paying people to vote for him, it is strictly illegal to pay people to vote or to offer cash in exchange for votes.. Under U.S. federal law (18 U.S. Code § 597), making or offering an expenditure to induce someone to vote,…"

  Why are you talking like you can't try again?

Thanks for all the support. I gave up later in the evening because I started to get exhausted, but I do know that I can do it now. I feel that the more I practice, the stronger my lungs will get.

  Well, technically any asthma symptom is an "attack." The terms for asthma are a bit melodramatic...
  
  Thanks a lot. =)
