Respiration
The retention of air in our lungs makes our organism work
March 23rd 2026
You have a car and to make it run you put in fuel. When fuel burns, it is transformed into a gaseous element that releases energy. It is because this transformation generates energy that cars can function.
The same is true about the air we breathe. In order to extract as much energy as possible from the air, it must be compressed and held in our lungs. While the air is under compression, our organism is doing work equivalent to the phases of ignition and combustion. As the air cannot escape, nature opens tiny pathways so that it may circulate throughout our organism. Thanks to this retention, the energy contained in the air travels along the little channels that nature has laid out for it. Nature says, ‘Go this way… go that way…’, for it has placed certain subtle centres along the route that can be set in motion only through contact with this energy.
