I of naturally charged air occurring around waterfalls, snow, trees and ocean waves. It also explains why positively charged air (short on electrons) seems to cause undesirable effects similar to those from partial oxygen deprivation. A related phenomenon worth noting here is that one’s oxygen uptake can be increased by some 30% by improving the body’s electrical conductivity to the ground. The refreshing sensation from going barefoot on natural earth, rock or ground cover, as compared to wearing shoes with modem synthetic insulating soles, is due partly to this. Comparatively non- conducting surfaces like asphalt, cement and synthetic carpets all interfere with properly grounding a body for maximum oxygen absorption. It will help to reintroduce conductive-soled shoe like moccasins or certain woven organic fibre types and where feasible, conductive concrete substitutes such as stone, clay or Indian cement. — Directed Attention Methods ——— The brain consumes ten times the amount of oxygen, per pound of body weight, that is used in the body’s other tissues. The singular role of oxygen in sustaining awareness may be further demonstrated by the locai increase in oxygen saturation occurring in areas of the body receiving focused attention, when treated by such ancient methods as laying on of hands and creative visualisation (healing energy flows, etc). It has been demonstrated in long-term studies that, to put it bluntly, people with crummy attitudes tend to live shorter lives, which is actually a kind of a relief for the rest of us. The point is that hostility, resentment and other unappealing emotions cause a constriction of the blood vessels, which of course reduces the flow of blood and oxygen. There are quite a few accounts of people who were basically no fun to be around, who upon learning they hada short time left decided to try acting nice for a change. So they’d smile and be friendly and try to enjoy whatever remaining time they had, and interestingly enough, sometimes the disease would fade away, leaving them with many more years of life and a much greater appreciation of it. Even ‘laughter therapy’ has among its effects an increase in the blood oxygen level. Deep laughter works the diaphragm vigorously and forces a more complete emptying and filling of the lungs than regular breathing usually accomplishes, and the greater oscillations of pressure within the air passages stimulates a swifter transfer of oxygen to the blood. iN] 1.
