Shallow Breathing
Shallow breathing has a many effects on the body. When your lungs are not breathing deep enough you will have a tendency to stay in a higher brain wave, such as beta or high beta, more often. Because of this you will tend to not feel as deeply and be more analytical. Your body will also tend to not rejuvenate as much during sleep and because it is not receiving sufficient oxygen continuously will have a tendency towards a higher pH, and be more acidic, which makes it more susceptible to disease.
Many become addicted to shallow breathing from fear and stress and a desire to not feel. Breathing is also a pathway to experience different levels of consciousness. It is also literally and symbolically a place of exchange of old chi and new chi, old energy and new energy.
