In the orient, it is said that when a child is born, the life span is already pre-determined, pre-measured, pre-ordained and pre-destined - not by years but by the number of breaths allotted. If you breathe slower, you will live longer. You will also live healthier.The rate and rhythm of the breath are intimately connected to our mental and emotional states. In fact, just as the emotions and the mind cause the breath to vary, by consciously controlling the breath we gain control over the mind and the emotions. By slowing down the breath, we calm the mind and cool down our emotional energy.

As i read this post, i slowed my breathing down and that quadrupled my understanding of what i was reading.
