Stephen Elliott describes the esoteric breathing methods he has come to know and practice both before and after the introduction of Coherent Breathing.
He posits that the experiences of both “Unity” and “Kundalini rising” are those of the multiverse of quantum physics.

The health and integrity of blood and body fluids is a primary factor in overall health and integrity of the body, mind, and spirit. This article explains the significance of gravity on the circulatory system of the human body and how we can breathe in keeping with the Earth’s gravitational field.
Based largely on the pioneering work of atomic physicist Erwin Schrodinger, Stephen Elliott discusses entropy and its relation to life and breathing in our entropic world.

The Breathing Toolkit: Using Coherent Breathing to Lower Stress and Reduce Anxiety, a Healthcare Excellence Canada and Alberta Health Services initiative.
Stephen Elliott’s single-page synopsis of Transforming Research In Elder Care’s (TREC) study of the use of Coherent Breathing to mitigate workforce stress and anxiety in Alberta’s long-term-care facilities during the COVID-19 period.
This article directs the reader to a wealth of excellent material produced by TREC in support of this initiative.
In this September 2025 issue of Coherent Breathing – The Periodical, Stephen Elliott discusses the matter of breathing through the mouth vs the nose, a matter that has received great attention in recent years.
In this article, Stephen asserts that sub-optimal breathing, specifically, “mouth-breathing” is highly symptomatic of sympathetic bias and its related internal correlates, about which much is already known.
Stephen posits that how we breathe even affects our external appearance, specifically the appearance of the face and head, where indications of poor circulatory health are reflected in the face as “age”, including skin tone, wrinkles, and overall countenance.

In this issue we dwell on learning to sense the Valsalva Wave phenomenon using our own interoception. Our sensation of the body is our best form of biofeedback. But it can be confusing because there is so much going on that it is hard to discriminate specific phenomena. In this article, we learn to do that with the wave of blood generated by Coherent Breathing.
In celebration of 20 years of Coherent Breathing, Stephen Elliott takes us back to the beginning – how Coherent Breathing came to be – this involving his quest to understand the protocol for eliciting the Awakened Mind EEG pattern.
Looking both forward and back, Stephen Elliott takes a look at the present state of hypertension in America, and its potential remedy – learning to breathe with depth and rhythmicity. Breathing with depth and rhythmicity automatically results in the relaxation of low threshold muscle motor units throughout the body, letting go of tension and with it elevated arterial pressure.
Humans are credited with having “5 senses”. Oddly, this definition constrains us to only those senses that relate to experiencing the external environment. Here I posit that “Internal State” is a 10th sense, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th senses, already having placeholders.

In 2013, I wrote an article titled “Does Coherent Breathing Wash The Brain?” This was building on the University of Rochester’s research titled: A Paravascular Pathway Facilitates CSF Flow Through the Brain Parenchyma and the Clearance of Interstitial Solutes, Including Amyloid β. A new article out of The University of Miami titled: CSF-to-blood toxins clearance is modulated by breathing through cranio-spinal CSF oscillation, prompts me to ask the question again.
There are mixed ideas about the integration of conscious breathing practice with the practice of Tai Chi. I am an advocate that “resonant breathing”, which must be trained consciously, just like any other skill, has a place in every aspect of life, circumstances permitting, and have personally found it to be “the key” to esoteric experience of lore, without which one cannot move forward, specifically including the practice of Tai Chi.
Many of you may have seen my recent note regarding the passing of dear friend and colleague Dolores Soriano Edmonson, RN, BCIAC-EEG. This article serves as my first memorial to knowing her.

This single page issue is written to punctuate Stephen Elliott’s recent Shift Network presentation: Essential Hypertension – A 20 Year Quest To End The Pandemic Before The Pandemic.
I am pleased to refer the reader to Tom Granger’s (of Draw Breath fame) 2023 presentation for Breathing Plus. Tom spent a day or two with us here in Pilot Point, Texas during his 2022 journey, featured in this Zoom recording. Hope you enjoy.
Be sure to see COHERENCE, Volume 1, Issue 4. An article detailing Stephen Elliott’s research into the electrical interaction between the body and Earth ground. This article describes the interaction and posits that it is related to “cellular respiration”.
