Seeking and Finding Wholeness

Thanks to Wholeness Forums member tscherz’s contribution found here I now have found 13 additional studies, in addition to the three studies I blogged about earlier, on the effects of breathing. Here they are:

1. Duranti, R., Sanna, I. Romagnoli, M. Nerini, F. Gigliotti, N. Ambrosino, G. Scano. “Walking modality affects respiratory muscle action and contribution to respiratory effort.” Pflugers Arch. 2004 May; 448 (2): 222-30.
