            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You can work with different types of breathing to create states of being. Inner fractals of goodness. Where the breath creates a certain buzzing aliveness within yourself such that the source of stress and tension within your system completely melts away.</p><p>Breath is also a form of communication. It's how the body communicates to you. When there are scary things around, the breath adjusts to prepare.</p><p>By modulating the breath, it's four levers: inhale, inhale retention, exhale, exhale retention. You can drastically alter the way your system functions in real-time. </p><p>This is a art form. What if you could give someone a breath that drove someone to states that you, the artist, desired? States that gave them the experience you want to give them over any meaning/interpretation they might take from it.</p><p>States include bliss, ecstacy, peace, stillness, connection, aliveness, autonomy, rest, creativity, focus, courage, and more.</p><p>What would it be like for breath to create courage within you? Does intention play a part? What does the nervous system of someone doing something courageous look like? What does their breath look like? What if you could get someone to this state in &gt;1 min?</p><p><strong>You can breathe the state into existence by leveraging a prior experience and letting it, through osmosis, guide you into a similar state.</strong></p><p><strong>Just re-connect with that experience and let your body begin to breathe in whatever way matches the state of mind you're looking for.</strong></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded>
