The amazing Konstantin Buteyko..the slow breath:)

Lead me from dreaming to waking.

Lead me from opacity to clarity. Lead me from the complicated to the simple. Lead me from the obscure to the obvious. Lead me from intention to attention. Lead me from what I'm told I am to what I see I am. Lead me from confrontation to wide openness. Lead me to the place I never left, Where there is peace, and peace -from the Upanishads- Unless you know the emptiness and bliss inside yourself..you'll be a robot forced by the same emptiness and bliss trying to know itself..by pain.. ...inside your self also..trust me!..said the mahayogi!
*note* even so I am a mahayogi,free of any pain..I post about these formidable guys whom lived and died on the truth..like this guy,whom thought he invented the slow breathing from heaven..
Hi name is Konstantin Buteyko(believe it or not..nothing to do with any bottle..is just a russian name,my friends grasshoppers from heaven..I'll try to explain his wisdom now...if you give me a buteyko(which means bottle in other languages...and means Budweiser in mine.and please make it cold..I like it)

Some other links worthy of investigating here..this one is interesting..http://www.mentalphysics.net/testimonials/the-power-of-the-nine-energizing-breaths.html(but they actually achieve the same result,since your breathing will be very shallow for a long time AFTER you do the crazy energizing breaths..so in other words,is the post-affect of doing it,not the breaths itself..is amazing how people confuse the cause with the affect..it always bewilders me..indeed...the ignorance is so deep rooted in people that I have no chance but go in the forests like a true monk I am... and enjoy my samadhi..and forget about people..nobody wants the truth anyway..they want their own truth..really..other interesting site is this one..it has a pic of of my formidable 12 inch muscle brain too..this pic..(well..maybe I was playing with my ear lobes when they took it,and eating some cheese burrito sandwich ..that's why I lack oxygen in the brain..no wonder I'm loosing my hairs indeed..)

quote"Do you know that virtually all sick people would still have poor health and abnormally high concentrations of free radicals species (or reactive oxygen species) even if they boost their intake of herbs, supplements and super foods extra rich in antioxidants? Why? Have you heard that tens of medical studies showed that severely sick and critically ill people have highest rates of exacerbations (acute episodes) and deaths during early morning hours? This has nothing to do with wrong foods or drinks. Do you know that all chronic diseases develop in conditions of tissue hypoxia (low oxygen in cells)?

You cannot have cancer, or heart disease, or diabetes and normal oxygen levels at the same time. Cell hypoxia is the main cause of free radicals and oxidative stress. Humans need oxygen in cells, not free unbounded oxygen that can pumped in the blood using hyperbaric oxygen therapies. (Right oxygen is delivered due to normal oxygen transport.)

Severely and moderately sick people, and most modern people, can consume pounds of antioxidants, drink canisters of super juices and eat tons of best foods, but if their automatic breathing pattern is unchanged, they will suffer from the same symptoms, pains and aches. What is wrong with their breathing?

You may know that most people, you probably included, feel worst or most miserable in the morning. Furthermore, as mentioned above, severely sick, critically ill (due to heart attacks, seizures, acute asthma, strokes, etc.) and hospitalized patients are most likely to have acute episodes or even die during early morning hours (see medical research on Web page Sleep Heavy Breathing Effect). The key reason for all these abnormalities is a low body oxygen level due to overbreathing with contributions of chest/mouth breathing. What are the effects? Hypoxic cells switch to anaerobic respiration and start producing lactic acid and other incompletely oxidized chemicals or free radicals causing cellular stress and intensifying respiration.

While many people are concerned with free radicals in foods, water and air, generally sick and severely people do not eat or drink anything during or just before night sleep. How do they cause oxidative stress then? They get free radicals and free radical damage due to their low oxygen levels in the body caused by heavy breathing and low levels of CO2 in the lungs.

...this guy don't you like him?
here I give you other pic of his formidable face.. like this one...or this one?
What is fascinating to me is this..some people whom never meditated actually somehow discovered some symptoms of advanced meditation..and by using them,actually they've managed to achieve some of the results of the path..the stories are longer then my 12 inch brain wisdom muscle,indeed..like the guys keeping their spine straight..or the guys swallowing their saliva..or the guys who mimic the slow breathing of samadhi realms..or some hapless swami from saco whom thought he'd hit gold by watching the energies in the body... Be careful grasshoppers from heaven..that it's not IT...but is has value in the sense of health only..that is because of the fractal universe,indeed...sometimes doing such a simple thing will activate other factors of healing or enlightenment..not because they are the method,but simply because you resonate with the true method...kiss:) In any case..he was a formidable guy,and his method is valid..kiss to him:) -added by danny- .........

 Konstantin Buteyko was born in 1923 in the Ukraine and grew up in a farming community. After becoming a physician, he made an important discovery about human health, one which would lead many seriously afflicted individuals back to good health. Dr. Buteyko's main discovery focused on breathing and the revision of breathing habits in order to reverse the progression of an illness. His holistic, drug-free technique became so effective and widespread that it was named in his honor: The Buteyko Method of Breathing. His life was fraught with peril, including the destruction of his laboratory in Siberia and threats on his life. Dr. Buteyko miraculously survived the turmoil and established a clinic in Moscow (Clinica Buteyko). He lived to see his scientific discovery and applied practices gain worldwide recognition. He died in Moscow in 2003. Konstantin Buteyko's Early Life Konstantin Pavlovich Buteyko was born in 1923 in Ivanitsa, a small farming community near Kiev. His mother, a schoolteacher, was known to say, "I gave birth to a very odd boy," possibly referring to her son's powerful mind and avid curiosity about every detail of the natural world around him. He was very independent and would spend a great deal of time alone outdoors, closely observing and examining plants, insects, and anything else he encountered. His innate interest in this and his aptitude laid the foundation for his keen scientific insights in the future. About Dr. Konstantin Buteyko Konstantin's father was a mechanic, and his son became adept at this skill as well. When he encountered any kind of mechanism, Konstantin first saw it as nothing more than an arbitrary collection of parts, but when, upon further study, he would see that all the parts should interacted harmoniously as a whole in order to make it run well, he became fascinated. This process led Buteyko to study engineering at the Polytechnic College in Kiev, Ukraine. In his sophomore year of college, World War II began. This spurred Buteyko to enlist and he volunteered to go the frontlines. During his four years in the war zone, he worked as a driver, mechanic, and a helper in a medical aid party. He repaired all sorts of vehicles, having started the training for this work at the mechanics department of engineering college. Throughout this time, he also came face to face with another type of wartime destruction - human casualties. He was not trained to offer any assistance for this. His frustration at not being able to serve the maimed and wounded caused him to redirect his studies and become a medical doctor. Viewed through his natural analytical perspective, Buteyko beheld the human body as the most superior of all "machines" and so, finding ways to help it operate in the most harmonious and effective way became his new goal. In 1946, over a year after the end of the war, Konstantin Buteyko enrolled at First Medical Institute in Moscow, Russia. As a student there, he was known as a handsome, young veteran with a sharp intellect, abundant energy, and, always, the highest possible grades. He spent most of his time at the library, or conducting clinical work. Upon graduating from medical school with distinction, he was invited to come on staff by an eminent doctor at one of Moscow's most elite hospitals. His scientific and clinical supervisors, as well as his friends, were convinced that a bright future began to unfold in front of this very talented doctor. While still at medical school, Dr. Buteyko had specialized in the study of hypertension [high blood pressure]. Ironically, Dr. Buteyko himself developed a severe form of this, in his case, lethal disease. The hospital whose staff he had joined had the best medicine available for the treatment of this illness. Dr. Buteyko began treating himself with these drugs but soon recognized that his condition only worsened. In the fall of 1952, his health had deteriorated to such a degree that it was not likely he would live for more than a couple of months. Konstantin Buteyko's Monumental Discovery Dr. Buteyko was a man of great strength and fortitude who, despite tremendous pain, continued working. One evening during his night shift at the hospital, he was alone in a room, standing in front of a window looking up at a star filled sky. His mind was occupied with one question: What is the cause of my disease? As many renowned doctors of the past, Dr. Buteyko believed that it was impossible to cure a disease without knowing its cause. Suddenly, a blinding light flashed outside and he lowered his gaze to shield his eyes. Having been dazzled by the flash and looking downward to regain his vision, he noticed something that immediately caught his attention 


. He observed his chest and belly moving a great deal as he was breathing. In the midst of his impending demise, and in great pain, he, nevertheless, maintained his lifelong habit of being a keen observer of natural phenomena. Dr. Konstantin Buteyko's Discovery His mind was drawn to his heavy breathing and at that moment, he considered an idea that had seemed almost crazy before: could it be that his heavy breathing was not the result of his disease but the cause of it? Ever the indefatigable scientist, he immediately began experimenting on himself. First, he increased his breathing. As a result, his pain increased. Second, he decreased his breathing. Remarkably, his pain began to subside! This was a pivotal moment for Dr. Buteyko, one that would change the course of his life. He was far from having all the answers, but he began to understand what questions were important to ask and consider. This event inspired Dr. Buteyko to head straight for the pulmonological department of the hospital where he found a pale man suffocating from an asthma attack. Buteyko tried his technique with the patient and both were surprised by the nearly instant success. After a few minutes of reduced breathing, the patient was able to breathe much better and his face regained some color. The asthma attack was gone. Dr. Buteyko proceeded to try the method on many other patients at his hospital. He discovered the result was consistent for people suffering from various diseases. When they increased their breathing, their symptoms became worse. When they reduced their breathing, their symptoms eased and their health improved. By modifying breathing patterns, Dr. Buteyko was able to help many patients; he also cured his own disease and regained health. Dr. Buteyko was very excited by his discovery and wanted to tell all his friends and colleagues about it. In his youthful exuberance, full of enthusiasm, he went to his academic and clinical supervisors and explained his remarkable discovery to them. They listened and immediately discounted what he had discovered because it went so far against what they were taught to believe. They told him to forget all about this "discovery" and strongly urged him to abandon his pursuit of presenting this to medical journals or other medical facilities. His discovery was an anathema to such an extent, that his friends seriously feared he would be sentenced to and incarcerated in a mental institution. It was during this time of personal trial that Dr. Buteyko compared the path of his discovery to that of Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis of Hungary. Dr. Semmelweis, while practicing at the General Hospital in Vienna, Austria (1847), discovered that the spread of septicemia could be radically reduced by the simple act of hand-washing. The mortality rate of infants and mothers was incredibly high and the method of washing hands with bleach and lime prior to surgery reduced the rate by a large percentage. At that time, diseases were attributed to many different and unique causes. Semmelweis' hypothesis, that there was only one cause for septicemia, seemed too simple and was therefore discredited and heavily ridiculed. After many years of protesting this unfair treatment and many angry letters sent to other doctors, Semmelweis was confined to a mental asylum. Some sources say that he ran from that institution, went to the morgue of his hospital and in front of dumbfounded students cut his finger and put it into a corpse. Soon thereafter, he died of septicemia. 50 years later, Louis Pasteur confirmed Semmelweis's theories by developing the germ theory: I saw microbes, he said, but Semmelweis was the one who discovered them. Dr. K.P Buteyko's Method Similar to Semmelweis, Buteyko came to the conclusion that many health issues, which are considered to be unique diseases by the medical community, are a collection of symptoms of one disease - hyperventilation. Hyperventilation leads to the development of asthma, hypertension, cancer… 150 diseases in all, the most common ones in today's world. Dr.Buteyko realized that these diseases can be cured by reducing one's breathing. It was just too simple for other doctors to accept! Facing ridicule and a potential incarceration for revealing his new method was a terrible blow to Dr. Buteyko. He realized he would have to keep the discovery quiet in order to save himself. The only way his work could possibly gain credibility was if he could collect substantial data to support his theory. At this time, in 1952, a new Academy of Science was developing in Novosibirsk, the capital of Siberia, with abundant funding available for scientific laboratories and clinics. It was a bitter decision for Dr. Buteyko to leave an elite hospital in the most culturally sophisticated city of Russia and move to Siberia, far away from the launch of his brilliant career. However, he saw no other way to collect and assemble the data necessary to raise awareness for his revolutionary discovery. Once he established himself at the Siberian clinical laboratory, Dr. Buteyko began treating the seriously ill, especially those with asthma. As he gained insight and experience, his reputation grew exponentially. Profoundly sick people were carried into his laboratory and then would miraculously walk out of it on their own. People who were extremely ill traveled great distances to be treated by him and he was besieged with hundreds of letters on a daily basis from people requesting his help. Dr. Buteyko tried to help anyone who needed his help without any consideration for his own benefit. Often, when his patients were lacking money for transportation or accommodation, Dr. Buteyko shared his own, at that time, very modest resources with them. Articles reporting on Dr. Buteyko's brilliant success stories appeared in the national press and he became known far and wide for his altruistic nature and treatments that were effective in cases where others failed. This attention generated envy among Buteyko's peers. One doctor was developing a powder that eased asthma symptoms. Dr. Buteyko was not only offering an ease, but an actual cure for asthma, and this, of course, was more appealing. Another example was Konstantin's main supervisor at the Academy. He was a surgeon whose approach to asthma had been to remove the afflicted lung, treat it, and then put it back into the body. Although the effectiveness of this technique was insignificant, he had hoped this work would eventually earn him a Nobel Prize. Dr. Buteyko's discovery and the simplicity of his method was a threat for these and many other medical professionals and put their livelihood at risk. This surgeon gathered a group of doctors and began a campaign to sabotage Dr. Buteyko's work. Dr. Buteyko's laboratory, along with a lot of very expensive medical equipment, which he had acquired abroad (and some of which he designed himself), was destroyed. His staff was dismissed. His data was compromised. Concepts Of Dr.Buteyko This took place in 1968, while Konstantin was away on a business trip. He cut the trip short and returned immediately. When he entered the room that was once his sophisticated laboratory, his dark hair started to turn grey. On to top of all this, Dr. Buteyko received multiple death threats, the purpose of which was to intimidate him into stopping his work. He was once poisoned and there was also a mob style automobile crash arranged to kill him. He survived all of these attempts. Dr. Buteyko's life was in serious danger and in the midst of it he, once again, stepped back, engaged his analytical side and contrived a means of survival. Among the hundreds of applicants who begged and pleaded to be treated by him, there were some influential individuals. He strategically selected to treat a few of these powerful people, who, because of their full recovery back to health, agreed to protect him to a certain extent. This was the sole reason Dr. Buteyko was able to continue his work and life in Soviet Russia. Konstantin was offered an opportunity to practice his treatment in space medicine. At first, it seemed like a beneficial way to advance his work but it soon became apparent that this job would drastically limit his scope of influence. This was during the Cold War of the late 50s and with the space race between Russia and the United States, agreeing to take this position would be like an automatic swearing to secrecy. This job would have assured him financial security, but Dr. Buteyko returned to his altruistic desires to help the numerous people in need of his treatment, rather than have it sequestered for an elite few. For almost 20 years, Konstantin was officially unemployed and his name was on the media black list. At that time, private practice was not legal in the Soviet Union, but Dr. Buteyko continued helping people privately on a donation basis. The 80s brought some relief for Buteyko. In 1981, the second official trial of his method took place in Moscow Medical Academy, in the department for asthmatic children. The positive results of the treatment were between 94 and 96 percent. In 1983, twenty one years after his application, he received a patent with a classification of "top secret" for his discovery and the method of treatment. In 1985, the Ministry of Public Health of Russia issued instructions and recommendations to all medical professionals to treat patients with the Buteyko breathing method; however, those instructions were never implemented. In 1987, at the very beginning of the Perestroika, Dr.Buteyko was finally allowed to establish his own clinic in Moscow. Later, it became known as Clinica Buteyko. Theory of Dr. Konstantin Buteyko Dr. Buteyko compared breathing to atomic energy: from his perspective, the awesome power of breathing was capable of destroying health very quickly as well as rebuilding it extraordinary fast. Many people suffering from asthma, allergies, hypertension, kidney problems, cardio, gastrological problems, immune deficiency, cancer, and many other serious diseases were healed at Clinica Buteyko. Konstantin Buteyko also started working with people who were exposed to radiation during the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. An official trial regarding this work took place in 1990 in Kiev, Ukraine, at the National Scientific Center of Radiation Medicine. The result: 82 percent of patients significantly improved their health. In 1991, another official trial of the Buteyko Method took place. This time, Buteyko's team worked with AIDS patients at the Institute of Epidemiology (Kiev). This work demonstrated positive results with no negative side-effects. That year, the same Institute conducted another trial with hepatitis and liver hepatocirrhosis patients. The Buteyko Method proved to be very effective and was officially recommended for use on patients with such problems. The Buteyko Method and Spirituality From the point of view of Konstantin Buteyko, a human body is "the perfect machine." As many famous doctors and scientists have done, he used his own body and mind to experiment with his method. Konstantin practiced his method and followed a particular lifestyle that promotes physical and mental health. In the final period of his life, Buteyko came to the conclusion that a reduction of breathing leads to clarity of mind, inner peace, and calmness. Additionally, he found out that it promotes intuition, telepathy and other types of extrasensory perception. Konstantin started his career as a talented, yet regular medical doctor, but, by the end of his life, he developed qualities of an advanced spiritual practitioner. He was known for being able to read people's thoughts, predicting the future, and many other extraordinary abilities. He hardly slept at all, was able to exist without food for 50 days at a time, and was capable of holding his breath after an exhalation for several minutes. Dr. Konstantin Buteyko During the final part of his life, the first question Buteyko would ask his patients was, "Do you believe in God?" He was equally accepting of the answers "yes" and "no" but preferred not to give his time to people who answered "I am not sure." What Buteyko found was that the door to an individual's personal evolution could be opened through his breathing. In a way, this was not a new idea: this principal was known and understood in many ancient cultures. One of the goals of Indian yoga, for example Pranayama, is to breathe less. A fundamental meditation in Tibetan Buddhism, which is called Shine (Peace), train the meditator to switch from heavy to shallow breathing. Japanese samurais had another interesting tradition: they would put a feather under one's nose and breathe on it. If the feather moved, that person would be dismissed from being a samurai. Russian Orthodox Saints recommended to their disciples to reduce breathing during prayer. They believed this would bring them closer to the divine. About our civilization In the end of his life Buteyko also spent time studying various ancient civilizations and trying to find the answer to one question: Why did they fall? The reason he was occupied with this question was simple. Buteyko's highly analytical mind was telling him that our civilization was also dying, and he was trying to find a solution to prevent this process. That's how Dr. Buteyko came to this conclusion: he found out that the majority of the population hyperventilates (to varying degrees) continually in their daily lives. This removes the beneficial and necessary CO2 from our system, and thus creates a less effective bond of the Oxygen molecule with the hemoglobin in the blood. Paradoxically, oxygen is actually reduced in many organs, including the brain. When the brain does not receive enough oxygen, its intellectual function gradually becomes impaired. That means that a person loses his ability to think systematically or as K. Buteyko put it, "in terms of cause and effect." The person's thinking becomes more computer-like: he can accumulate a lot of information but is only capable of processing it within a limited frame. In daily life, this is often manifested when a person is fully engaged with his endless tasks, but does not have time to think about the meaning of his life or the future of our planet or civilization. As the result of hyperventilation, on the psychological level people literally become narrow-minded and on the physical level they become much weaker. Dr. Buteyko believed that if our civilization does not change its breathing, it's destined to die just as many other civilizations before it did. Some concepts of Dr. Buteyko Why do people hyperventilate? In the early part of life formation on earth, the carbon dioxide content in our atmosphere was 70 percent and higher and the Oxygen content was less than one percent. It was similar to the conditions inside a womb, which has a high level of carbon dioxide and a low level of oxygen. As plant life increased and developed, the balance of CO2 and Oxygen shifted and Oxygen became the dominant gas in our atmosphere (Presently it is about 21 percent Oxygen and less than one percent Carbon Dioxide). Buteyko assumed that many biological species were not able to adjust to this change and became extinct (possibly, dinosaurs). Humans survived by being able to adjust to these gradual changes; however, our bodies were not ideally created for the type of the atmosphere that surrounds our planet. Coming back to the present, Dr. Buteyko believed that the modern lifestyle, specifically the sedentary lifestyle, protein rich foods, and the gradual loss of spiritual practices compromised our breathing further and, by extension, our physical and mental health. In today's world, on average people consume five to ten times more air than their bodies need. Ongoing research at Clinica Buteyko indicates that people's breathing on the whole is worsening. Dr. Buteyko's life The end of his life In 2003, an average lifespan for men in Russia was between fifty and sixty years. Konstantin was eighty years old and active despite the damage caused to his life force by the many attempts to kill him. In 1998, he became a victim of a street assault, which seriously impacted his health. In Novosibirsk, when Konstantin was walking in the city at night, he was surrounded by three men who brutally attacked the elderly doctor. They used heavy metal bars and directed them at his head. When they thought that Konstantin was dead, they threw his body away on the snow (it was a cold Siberian night). When he was found, doctors were astonished that he survived; however, thought that there were very little chance he would live. He lived and worked for another four years. During this time, he traveled great deal because his method gradually began to spread around the world. He was invited to England to treat Prince Charles who was suffering from allergies. Konstantin and his wife Ludmila Buteyko successfully cured the Prince's problem. They also visited Germany, New Zealand, and other countries educating people about his method. A day before Konstantin passed away, he asked his wife Ludmila to take him to a hospital. She was surprised given that he was feeling well but followed her husband's request. Doctors at the hospital examined Konstantin and came to the conclusion that there was nothing wrong with him, in fact, they happily announced to Ludmila that she should expect him to live another ten or twenty years. And yet he passed away the next day. Why? Ludmila's answer is this: "By that time, he did everything he could to offer the people of this planet a very valuable knowledge that could have saved the lives of many as well as the life of the whole civilization. Unfortunately, his offer was not fully accepted due to the unwillingness to change, to go beyond the comfort of habitual thinking. He respected this choice; however, he felt that his mission or his life on Earth was completed. On May 2nd 2003, on a very auspicious day in Orthodox Christianity, Konstantin looked at Ludmila, his wife and his kindred spirit, smiled, and then turned to his right side and effortlessly and painlessly left his body. by Sasha Yakovleva-Fredricksen Special Thanks to David Wiebe, Susan Lipkins and Tusha Yakovleva

The Conduct of the Moon and Clouds

The consistent conduct of people of the Way is like the flowing clouds with no grasping mind, like the full moon reflecting universally, not confined anywhere, glistening within each of the ten thousand forms.

Dignified and upright, emerge and make contact with the variety of phenomena, unstained and unconfused. Function the same toward all others since all have the same substance as you. Language cannot transmit this, speculation cannot reach it. Leaping beyond the infinite and cutting off the dependent, be obliging without looking for merit.

This marvel cannot be measured with consciousness or emotion. On the journey accept your function, in your house please sustain it. Comprehending birth and death, leaving causes and conditions, genuinely realize that from the outset your spirit is not halted. So we have been told that the mind that embraces all the ten directions does not stop anywhere.

-- Hongzhi Zhengjue (1091-1157)

To nourish the vital energy, keep watch in silence;

In order to subdue the mind, act with non-action.

Of movement and stillness, be aware of their origin;

There is no work to do, much less someone to seek.

The true and constant must respond to phenomena;

Responding to phenomena, you must be unconfused.

When unconfused, the nature will stabilize by itself;

When the nature stabilizes, energy returns by itself.

When energy returns, the elixir crystallizes by itself;

Within the pot, the trigrams of heaven and earth are joined.

Yīn and yáng arise, alternating over and over again;

Every transformation comes like a clap of thunder.

White clouds form and come to assemble at the peak;

The sweet nectar sprinkles down Mount Sumeru.

Swallow for yourself this wine of immortality;

You wander so freely—who is able to know you?

Sit and listen to the tune played without strings;

Clearly understand the mechanism of creation.

It comes entirely from these twenty lines;

A true ladder going straight to Heaven.-Daoist text -

 To us all towns are one, all men our kin. Life's good comes not from others' gift, nor ill. Man's pains and pains' relief are from within. Thus have we seen in visions of the wise !." - Tamil Poem-

   

Unless you know the emptiness and bliss inside yourself..you'll be a robot forced by the same emptiness and bliss trying to know itself..by pain..inside your self also..trust me!..said the mahayogi!

In silence there must be movement, and in motion,

There must be silence.
A small movement is better than a big,
No movement is better than a small
Silence is all the movement's mother.
In Movement you should be like a dragon or a tiger.
In non Movement you should be like a Buddha.  
-- Wang Xiangzhai(November 26, 1885 - July 12, 1963}
