Scientists have made several attempts to put together all of
the ingredients, and to meet all the conditions supposedly required to create life. They
have failed. Maybe someday, they will uncover the great mystery of life. Until then, we
have to rely on the fact that life is nothing but the breath of God. The scriptures say
that God breathed in man’s nostrils and man became a living soul.
What was it in the
breath of God that gave life? What types of elements or chemical formulas are responsible
for life? It is impossible to describe all the elements present in the breath of God. God
claims the title of being the Alpha and Omega. Certainly all the elements of the universe
are present in His breath. But above all we know for sure that oxygen must have been one of
the most important components of this breath. Oxygen appears to be the giver of life. It
is an explosive element, spontaneous, volatile and unstable. It is never stationary. It
penetrates everything.
Oxygen is manufactured by plants through the decomposition
of carbon dioxide and water, and is essential for all forms of life on earth. Oxygen
enhances life. It generates heat, improves oxidation, growth, and catabolism (the burning
of calories and removal of waste products). It affects every individual differently yet its
impact in the lungs, blood and tissues is the same. Oxygen fosters radiant health. With
high oxygen intake, the arteries become elastic, the heart is active and agile, the pulse
grows stronger, the skin is healthy and the mind is extraordinarily
positive.
Assimilation and utilization of nutrients is improved by oxygen. A
healthy consumption of oxygen also improves our sexual performance. The fountain of youth
is linked to oxygen. According to Dr. Bernard Jensen, youth and health demand oxygen. It
is amazing to consider how our nervous system processes information and sends messages to
different parts of our bodies in the presence of oxygen. In the presence of oxygen, our
capillaries undergo an increase in vasodilation, which enables them to carry the greatest
amount of important nutrients to the nerve cells. The presence of oxygen reduces the amount
of waste products and toxins generated by neuron catabolism. It limits the size and the
activity of glial cells such as the astrocytes and the oligodendrocytes, which are
identified as the garbage of the brain.
It is extremely important to keep in mind
that we increase our oxygen intake when we breathe consciously. We are made in such a way
that we have to breathe for the body during the daytime and the body for us by night. By
breathing consciously, which means, that we deliberately inhale the fresh air, hold it for
20 seconds, and then exhale it slowly and powerfully, to the extent that all the alveoli of
the lungs become completely empty.
Holding our breath is like holding God at hand
just for 20 seconds. This should certainly give us enough time to let Him know about our
love and appreciation, hope and expectations, misdeeds and needs. Holding God just for 20
seconds, sixty times in the morning and sixty times in the evening provides us with plenty
of opportunities to rebuild our body, renew our strength, and build up our faith in health
and in life. By choosing to breathe consciously, we will increase the strength of our
immune system and the glow of our skin. The quality of our sleep will greatly improve and
most of our minor discomforts will simply go away. It is extremely difficult to believe
that something so simple can have such a tremendously positive effect on our health. It is
simple indeed, easy to perform and available at no cost to everyone. Perhaps that is the
reason no-one takes the extra time to breathe consciously. For those who practice daily,
however, the reward will be perfect health and joyful living.
