Brain Respiration ?!?

[H3LL]

Anyone know about Brain Respiration.

I drew a blank at quackwatch.org.

I saw this which made me think it's just another woo-woo treatment. They say it's a scientific version of Dahn Hak. I'm not convinced it's scientific.

Any good debunking stuff on BR or is legit (I doubt it!).

It seems that Randi has encountered this lot recently - here .

This guy Lee has "previous".

It's the old 10% myth re-hashed.

In a word - cobblers.

"The breath work of Brain Respiration is designed to conduct deep and natural breathing, bringing a deeper relaxation and enhanced concentration as a preparatory setting for being more productive and functional in any activity you perform."

I think I've heard of this sort of thing before. Except it was called: "zazen".

Like chicken soup, "it couldn't hurt". Ought to be pretty dang cheap, too. Free even. I know I wouldn't pay a nickel for any of it.

 

[The Mighty Thor]

A manic child should be treated like a leaky nuclear reactor. Stay the hell away until the energy has dissipated or end up being fried. Unfortunately, on the morning that my son was due to try out a Korean therapy called Brain Respiration, he was in a feral frame of mind. I pitied the softly spoken woman who led my children away for their private session of stretching, breathing exercise and meditation. My son was running around the grand dining room at Warren House in Richmond as though he had never been let out of his cage before.

I smiled apologetically at the Dahn Master (as Brain Respiration teachers are known) as she took my manic son and not-so-manic daughter away. When she returned them to me two hours later, they had the beatific smiles of Tibetan lamas and they radiated calmness. I was convinced it was a sham. As soon as we got back into our car, they would start performing again. But they didn't. They stayed calm and focused for the rest of the day. For the first time in many months, they spent an entire day together without having a single argument. My son spent most of the afternoon drawing people with yellow auras emanating from their tummies.

Oleron's in-depth assessment would seem to be perfect looking at the evidence.

And Randi's comment:

His "spiritual name" Ilchi literally means "a finger pointing to the truth," we're told. I have to wonder which finger is being referred to....

Another one for the clap-trap box.

Thanks.

See Randi's Commentary 10 Dec.

I must be psychic.

Can I claim my $million?
