is truly remarkable as is CMR. The Primal Release Pose and the Cardio-Muscular
Release technique will help take contraction out of the diaphragm and rewire the
vagus nerve/medulla area. To get that spontaneous Ahhh breath the Inner Arts
of the Pot of Gold and Opening the Mouth of God help to reset the nervous
system...it can take a full half hour of applied relaxation before you get a deep
spontaneous Ahhh breath. Besides these any emotional release work would help,
both cathartic and quiet; plus breathing techniques such as Holotropic breathing.
Also you could try what I call “flying,” which is to lie on your back on a bolster
about 8” thick put under the back of the chest—put your arms out and relax your
breathing into the pose.
A consistent practice of singing, toning, chanting, mantra, humming and
growling will help to loosen the diaphragm—and detoxify the central nervous
system. Doing these near a river or waterfall greatly amplifies the effect, and if you
are having persistent trouble with breathing, you might consider buying a negative
ion generator for your home. Running and other aerobic exercise will give you
more lung volume and give the diaphragm mechanism more energy to relax itself
with. But the most natural solution for me was long breathing-walks “in nature,”
preferably around flowing water. Also keeping adequately hydrated will relax the
diaphragm because then the diaphragm is not trying to conserve loss of water from
the lungs. If you are still having trouble breathing you might have hyper-histamine
levels so check out the antihistamine measures in the histamine section and adopt
a non-allergenic diet.
Our vegetative and social faculties are tied together through the old and new
vagus nerves. So retraining the vagus needs to incorporate a form of social-therapy
and what is social-therapy if not loving-relationship. Healthy relationship or
“intimacy” with others retrains the vagus. Thus some sort of social/relationship
training that helps us to form loving bonds with others will reform our social
wiring and permanently relax the breathing mechanism. Because we primates tend
to get more stressed out over relationships than anything else, learning how to
relate in a healthy manner is fundamental to good health and longevity. Healing is
growth beyond patterns of disease.

Kundalini opening up the throat area can be mighty uncomfortable. The Inner
Arts and Skills in this book will help. You can lessen the choking in the narrows by
doing CMR/Neuroemotional Reprogramming on your solar plexus, with plenty
of breathing into the belly (hara). Focus on making a jumper cable between your
third eye and the heart, you can do this with your hands during a CMR type
session. Opening the Mouth of God and The Pot of Gold will also facilitate the
opening of the throat area (see all these techniques in the Inner Arts section.) Also
tapping your thymus gland rhythmically throughout the day, and doing heart to
throat jumpercable with your hands also. Do plenty of stretching, singing and
toning. Group encounter or confessional groups similar to 12 step programs,
where each person gets to voice their say will help enormously. As the throat starts
to open there is a psychological need to de-repress ones vocal faculty and learn
