Lets Play Scientist.

I find myself aimlessly wandering the internet in search of something good to read tonight. There’s seems to be so much out there, yet something you want to find (or are looking for) seems to be so far out of reach. Google is a great tool but it’s difficult to find what you’re looking for if you don’t exactly know what that thing may be.

Are people who breathe deeper (take deep breaths on a regular basis) smarter than those who breathe shallow?

Those who breathe deeper get more oxygen to their brain and those who breathe shallow deprive their brain from getting its full amount of oxygen.. so does that mean the way we breathe determines our IQ?

Lets think about this... Oxygen to the brain.
The brain requires approximately 3.3 ml of oxygen per 100 g of brain tissue per minute.
Our brain weighs 2% of our total body weight.

So, what happens when the brain gets less than the required amount?

If the brain gets less than the amount of oxygen it needs, blood starts to rush upwards to help carry more oxygen through the brain, although that can only do so much.
If that doesn't help, symptoms of cerebral hypoxia will begin to appear.

Cerebral Hypoxia? (Oxygen levels in brain tissue, not blood)
Wikipedia it please, ill give you a moment.
This is what happens to those who do not get enough oxygen into the brain.

So, what happens when the brain gets more than the required amount?

Simple. Oxygen toxicity.
Go ahead, read about that one as well.. if your really that interested... (well hell! I sure was!)

Too much oxygen and not enough carbon dioxide creates an agitated state. You need to keep yourself balanced. Too much carbon dioxide and not enough oxygen can make you feel tired and depressed. In extreme cases, a restricted supply of oxygen can lead to anxiety, panic attacks, and even phobias!

So this blows my mind.. It makes me feel like I don't know how to breathe, and if I feel tired, am I just not breathing right?

Things like this really make you think... but we never really answered my original question!

""Are people who breathe deeper (take deep breaths on a regular basis) smarter than those who breathe shallow?""

We just found out what happens when the extreme takes place.

Although I cant find anything on google, give it a try... lets see what YOU come up with.

Take a Deep Breath In, and Release it.

Tonight, along with every other night, is yoga night. I have somewhat been out of my funk lately and have missed a few nights of yoga. Maybe its because iv been feeling happier and happier about my body and the way it looks. Or maybe i have been distracted by something slightly more entertaining? Who knows...

The program i do yoga to is on at 3:30am and is called Breathing Space Yoga.

I also downloaded various programs from torrent sites, including "Earth and Fire Yoga" and "Better Sex Through Yoga" that i have yet to watch, but ill let you know how it goes when i do.

I always find my mind wandering while doing yoga. Maybe its the beautiful set they have, or the crazy poses they pull, but i have always wanted to make love in that setting. Let me take a moment to describe it to you.

They are outside, everything is pristine. They are on some sort of gazebo. There are white sheets or drapes hanging from each wall and they are blowing in the wind. They are all on lovely yoga mats (but usually i replace that with a bed or a hammock, something nice...). There are ferns hanging from each corner of the gazebo and where the wind blows the drapes you can see a lake of some sorts.

Its very peaceful... Maybe thats why i have only seen it used in yoga, and not in porn. Who knows.
