Conscious Breathworks™

The technology

Most people don’t realise that breathing patterns have a direct impact on their health that overbreathing and exhaling too much carbon dioxide can result in excess alkalinity (ph, which is bad for their health).

Pinpoint optimal breathing mechanics for acid-base balance.  Discover how breathing may be mediating unexplained symptoms\Discover the triggers for good and bad breathing patterns. Test for anaerobic threshold during fitness training by monitoring CO2 See how thoughts, moods and emotions are changed by breathing.
Use breathing as a way of exploring awareness and consciousness.  Learn how mental and physical performance is altered by breathing. Learn what good and bad breathing behaviours feel like\Evaluate the effects of breathing on learning, memory, and attention. Help people overcome fears about breathing.

See how breathing behaviour and defensiveness may be related\Teach embracement through breathing and heart variability training.
Examine how pain, injury, discomfort, and breathing may be linked.  Learn to breathe intuitively, inside-out, rather than prescriptively, outside-in

The Capnometer  is a combination hardware-software system for “live” displaying and recording of exhaled partial pressure carbon dioxide (PCO2) and heart rate variability (HRV) data for evaluating and teaching breathing behaviour.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS
Use the Capnometer for detecting bad breathing behaviour and learning good breathing behaviour.
*Pinpoint optimal breathing mechanics for acid-base balance.  *Discover the triggers for good and bad breathing patterns.  *See how thoughts, moods, and emotions are changed by breathing. *Learn how mental and physical performance is altered by breathing.  *Evaluate the effects of breathing on learning, memory, and attention. *See how breathing behaviour and defensiveness may be related.   

 *Examine how pain, injury, discomfort, and breathing may be linked. *Discover how breathing may be mediating unexplained symptoms.   *Test for anaerobic threshold during fitness training by monitoring CO2.  *Use breathing as a way of exploring awareness and consciousness   *Learn what good and bad breathing behaviours feel like

*Help people overcome their fears about breathing.       *Teach embracement through breathing and heart variability training.

If you are an educator, trainer, coach, or therapist, the Capnometer serves as an important supportive tool.  Peak performance training, relaxation training, attention training, alertness training, meditation, patient education, stress management, childbirth training, motivational training, public speaking, learning enhancement, anxiety management (e.g., testing), anger management, mastering performance challenges (e.g., in aviation), athletic training, and breathing training of all kinds.

RESTRICTED USE:
The CapnoTrainer is an educational instrument designed for enhancing performance through learning and teaching good breathing behavior. It is not intended for medical diagnosis or treatment.
