• The mediator is primarily the conscientious management of breating which renews the harmonic balance among the body, thoughts and emotions.
• To understand the mechanism of natural (miscellaneous) breathing and its relationship to thought, muscles and emotion, that is, to induce prmiciples of self-awareness and attempt to integrate rational, sensible and emotional thought.
