The Hypnosis experts have done research tests and studies and have some impressive results, however, could not find one that uses hypnosis to retrain your breathing, to stop over breathing, which is what really needs to be done.

Hypnotic suggestions to yourself that you would no longer hyperventilate were never part of the suggestions.

The studies of ordinary "relaxation' hypnosis suggestions show that hypnosis follow up with teaching relaxation alone made great improvement in asthma users well being and success in some getting off medication, etc.

We also found none with "guided imagery" or what is also referred to as relaxation response and self hypnosis all showed positive results, but again found NONE teaching the subconscious what the Buteyko method is teaching the subconscious involuntary control system by repetitive exercises.

We found suggestions of Yoga being used successfully, and that bio feedback would work, though no tests.

Therefore, from considerable reading on the matter, here is where we are on this.

The problem is Involuntary Hyperventilation. Sometimes as much as six times as much as normal or breathing enough for 5 or 6 people.

The persons automatic breathing control system mental control system needs to be reprogrammed to breath normal rate.

That is what the Buteyko system is doing with exercises and repeated drills is convince the involuntary system to stop over breathing. This is a slow manual process that works, sometimes very slowly or not at all.

"Guided imagery" is working well like the hypnosis is working in relaxation of the hyper patient. That part is working but no test of retraining with instructions directly to the involuntary mind to slow breathing down to the normal correct or more correct rate.

All the guided imagery literature shows that many different types of involuntary mind control jobs (patients subconscious mind) have been reprogrammed very easily and very successfully with guided imagery. * self hypnosis". Used for other control projects such as increasing mothers milk, etc.

Therefore, we are researching and will be back here with a suggested audio tape script that you can make a tape and be played using your own voice relaxing your mind and making suggestions of what changes will be made in operation of your breathing.

Something you can read, make your own tape, in your own words, listen to it many times and in short time should see automatic results.
