Depression is a much bigger and widespread problem than many would believe. It is estimated that more than 1 in 20 Americans will develop depression in the next 12 months but most sufferers attempt to hide the problem from friends, family and physicians. This makes it incredibly difficult to diagnose unless you are specifically looking for the symptoms. Most sufferers find it difficult to diagnose depression and often attribute it to "feeling a bit down". There is a big difference between feeling down and having depression. If you or someone close to you is suffering from depression it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible.

Healthy Living through Free, Natural Breathing
A powerful tool that is always overlooked in our quest to heal ourselves and to live healthier, more-conscious lives is our breathing. The quality of our breathing, of our exhalation and inhalation, reveals a great deal about our self-image, our basic stance regarding life. By observing, by sensing, our breathing in the midst of action we can greatly increase our knowledge and awareness of ourselves.
Observing our breathing in the various conditions of our lives, we may notice, for example, how the extent and comfort of our inhalation reflects the degree of our readiness and ability to embrace life at that moment. We may notice how during fear or other strong negative emotions we restrict the flow and duration of our breathing by contracting various parts of our body in order to reduce the energy available for feeling. We may also notice how the extent and comfort of our exhalation reflects the degree of our readiness and ability to let go, to trust something other than the accouterments of our self-image.
The Emotional Topography of Our Breath
As our ability to sense ourselves grows, we will begin to receive many precise impressions of the interrelationships of our emotions and breath. For example, we may see how anger is associated with shallow inhalations, strong exhalations, and tension throughout the body--especially in the neck, jaw, chest, and hands. Each of us will find variations in her or his own physical and emotional topography.
Our Breathing Is Influenced by Our Emotions
Through awareness of our breathing and a deep work of self-sensing, we not only learn about the subtle, constantly changing needs of our bodies, but we also start to learn about the ways in which our emotions and our breathing influence each other, our health, and well-being. By listening to the sensation of our body, especially our breathing, no matter when we are in quiet circumstances or when we are in the middle of the difficult situations of our lives, we become aware of connections between parts of ourselves that ordinarily escape our attention. By sensing the way our breathing changes in relation to changing circumstances, as well as by sensing the attitudes, tensions, postures, and emotions that arise in these same conditions, we start to learn, with exacting detail, about the intimate relationship of our breathing to our overall sense of ourselves. This new, direct knowledge of ourselves in action gives our brain and nervous system the knowledge and perspective it needs to help free us from our habitual psychophysical patterns of action and reaction. Self-sensing helps create new connections between existing neurons in the brain and nervous system. These new connections help increase our overall consciousness, and promote greater sensitivity and flexibility in our perception and behavior.
Restricted Breathing and Self-Image
As we receive more impressions of ourselves through self-sensing, we will find that in general our breathing is very restricted. Most of us are shallow breathers--that is, our breath is confined mainly to the top of the chest. If we are to live healthy, conscious fives, however, we need to rediscover the inner mental, emotional and physical conditions necessary for free, natural breathing, breathing which involves not only the various spaces of our chest but also the spaces of our belly, back, spine, and solar plexus. Free, natural breathing can have an enormous beneficial impact on both our well-being and our spiritual development.
In order for free, natural breathing to become the norm in our lives, we need to learn how to sense ourselves from the inside and to release the unnecessary tensions associated with our self-image--tensions. These tensions are closely linked to our habitual patterns of thinking and feeling, patterns that always consume our energy and undermine our health and well-being. Through the work of free, natural breathing, we can start to get in touch with the energy locked into these tensions, and release this energy for our health and inner growth.
