A Student’s Guide to Building Brain Power

with Carole Freeman

$37 More Info

School is hard.

Let's face it, you will never get more out of school than you are able to put into it. Getting a good education takes your best effort, physically and mentally. This course is not about learning memory tricks, it's about changing the chemistry and physiology of your brain and its capability for learning by improving blood flow, oxygenation, and nutrient delivery. It will cover how your Autonomic Nervous System can be balanced with your Respiratory System to allow you to feel calmer and more focused under pressure with improved concentration.

In this class we'll go over;

Release 20-50% more oxygen to the brain tissue
Improve brain's ability to form long term memory
Balance the Autonomic Nervous System
Improve attention and focus
Improve blood flow to the brain
Improve the amount of oxygen carried in to the brain
Improve testing skills

Requirements

It's an advantage, but not required, to take the class, Breath-Taking Basics prior to attending Building Brain Power.

Breath-Taking 101

with Carole Freeman

Welcome to The Breath-Taking 101

The biggest question I’m asked is "Why would I take a breathing taking class if I already know how to breathe?" But what if you are breathing all wrong?

Breath-Taking classes aren’t just about breathing, everyone knows how to breathe and we know that if you stop breathing, you die. But, if you never learn how to breathe well, you go on to become sick and tired. Since breathing is something you do every moment you’re alive, learning to breath well becomes one of the most essential factors in feeling your best and doing your best every day.

The most important thing to know about Breath-Taking Online classes is that they’re not about learning a single special technique. Courses are developed from the entire Medical field of identifying and correcting Breathing Pattern Disorders.

It’s estimated that 85% of us currently have some type of Breathing Dysfunction that’s connected to feeling sick and tired. Or at the very least, more sick and tired then we need to be.

In this class, I'll go over how to;

Breathe easier, reduce feelings of shortness of breath
Increase the amount of oxygen to your muscles during exercise
Reduce muscle fatigue, gain stamina, & breath easier during activities
Quickly gain control of your breath during anxious, stressful situations
Get a deeper, more restful nights sleep
Eliminate a chronically stuffy nose
Feel greater brain power by learning to increase blood flow, oxygen and nutrients to the brain
Relieve muscle tension aquired by daily stresses

Requirements

This class is the starting point and prerequisit to other Breath-Taking courses. It covers the basic understanding of breathing physiology and the foundation of techniques that are core of all other classes. The techiques in Breath-Taking Basics are designed to be practiced over 2-4 weeks before advancing to other programs. You will get more out of future classes with a firm base and skill of these early steps.

Welcome to Breath-Taking at Night

You’d be shocked at how many health disorders are related to, if not caused by, faulty breathing during sleep. While many people feel there’s nothing they can do about snoring or waking frequently at night, they’d be just a surprised to know there’s more you can do about it than you think.

What I'm asking you to do today, is to at least consider the possibility that a poor nights' sleep may be a significant aggravating factor, that could lead to, significant disruption in one's mental health and certain physical health conditions. You and I know that you can’t possibly have your highest brain power, do your best performance and function at your highest level when you are chronically fatigued and drained from lack of deep restful sleep.

Take the Quiz below to see if you may have a Sleep/Breathing Dysfunction:

______Do you have trouble falling asleep, or have trouble getting back to sleep once you wake up in the middle of the night

______Have you been diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea

______Do you drink alcohol at night before bed

______Do you have to get up multiple times a night to urinate

______Do you have a dry mouth in the morning

______Do you sleep with your mouth open

______Are you fatigued in the morning

______Do you rarely feel truly well rested

______Do you wake up frequently in the middle of the night

______Do you consider yourself a ‘light sleeper’

______Do you snore

______Do you have a stuffy nose

______Do you eat within 2 hours of going to bed

______Do you wake up sweaty or have hot flashes

If you answered YES to Any of the above symptoms, you likely have a Breathing Dysfunction at Night.
