Let Breathing Help Control Your Body's Healing Process
New studies show it's your most powerful ally in beating stress
Western medicine is discovering new evidence for the
power of the mind-body connection. Several
remarkable studies of late are empirically proving that
that union is not only quantifiable, but that it is a
powerful tool in the healing process and is your best
ally in dealing with the debilitating effects of stress
and illness.
A recent
Chicago
Tribune
article states that
hospitals, including Northwestern Memorial in the
Chicago area are enlisting the help of "health
psychologists" to find nontraditional ways to treat
patients with common disorders like cancer, heart
disease and gastrointestinal problems. And -- no
surprise -- conscious breathing is chief among them.

DID YOU KNOW...Breathing Can Help Ease the Effects of PMS
Women have been troubled by hot flashes and
premenstrual syndrome for ages. Hot flashes often
result in red faces, sweating bodies, and noticeable
and embarrassing discomfort. They come in the
middle of meetings, in the middle of the night, and in
the middle of romantic interludes. Premenstrual
syndrome also arrives without notice, bringing such
symptoms as severe mood swings, anger, crying, and
depression.
Dr. Eric Pepper and Katherine H. Gibney have done
pioneering work at San Francisco State University on
the effects of diaphragmatic breathing
on hot flashes and pre-menstrual mood swings. They
recommend two breathing exercises that work
amazingly well.

Steven Memel: Performing Arts & the Balance of Body and Breath
Hollywood vocal and acting coach
It's easy to assume that successful veteran actors
such as Lauren Bacall, Isabella Rosellini and James
Woods might not need additional help developing and
evolving their craft or pushing their careers to a
higher level. But that’s precisely why they and many
others seek the help of Steven Memel, a Los Angeles-
based vocal and acting coach who, for nearly 20
years has counseled professional and aspiring
performers with a philosophy of reinforcing the purity
of art as an expression of the self, one that must
come from deep within. And for him, it begins with
the breath.
