| the key to breathing is the exhalation. we breathe in what plants breathe out, and we breathe out what plants breathe in. we inhale all of our surroundings, and we exhale to those surroundings our internal energy or lifeforce. although we inhaled first when we came to the world, it was the reciprocal exhalation that announced to the world our presence. the exhalation is a natural reconnection of our energy with the energy of everything else; the exhalation is an updated connection from the self to the all.
this is why the spoken word, music, and creative sound are all so powerful. it is the releasing of vital energy, lifeforce, in concerted and determined ways; made even more powerful when the releasing is disciplined.
practice deep breathing throughout the day. try to breathe slowly and deeply throughout all of your actions in the day. when you inhale, take notice of the energy/oxygen spreading through your blood and body. when you exhale, exhale with gentle focus beginning from the center of your being/body.
practice deep breathing daily. when you play the trumpet, where your inhalation/exhalation is most focused and determined and disciplined, you should be able to notice greater breath control, endurance, and your tone should be wherever it is supposed to be.
talking about filling up the tank, and whatnot....practicing slow, deep breathing increases you 'mileage per gallon'. in doing this, you train your body to function normally or better on relatively less air, as your in/exhales are at a slower rate while your actions and body functions are done at 'normal' rates. you achieve equal or greater production using less energy.
so, its not more salt, but the way in which your body uses the salt.
