Surely breathing was never meant to be this difficult?!
We’ve been there, we know what it’s like, and we’ve heard it from thousands of people who were struggling to breathe without understanding why. When you can’t get a full breath, your everyday life is plagued by near-constant discomfort, unease, and struggle. The worst part is, no one seems to understand—and no matter who you turn to, no one seems to have a real solution.
Perhaps this sounds familiar:
Do you struggle to get the feeling of a full, satisfying breath?
Have you been told by doctors that there’s “nothing wrong with you?”
Have you tried breathing exercises but found no lasting relief?
Then you’ve come to the right place!
Easy, natural breathing is a birthright. Your body knows how to breathe.
You intuitively know that breathing should be easy, automatic, and effortless. We all remember a time when we didn’t have to think about breathing—it just happened, and we lived free of the burden of having to monitor our breathing or struggle against discomfort. This is how it’s meant to be! This is our natural state.
But because Air Hunger—which is ultimately caused by accumulated, unconscious interference with your normal, Natural Breathing—is such a misunderstood condition, you haven’t received the guidance or support you’ve needed.
Either you’ve been dismissed with phrases like “it’s all in your head” or “it’s just anxiety.” Or you’ve been misdirected with “breathing exercises” that push you toward interfering with your breathing even more—controlling and efforting and struggling even more. Leading you further and further down the frustrating and unsustainable spiral of unnatural breathing. It’s no wonder so many people with Air Hunger eventually feel overwhelmed with despair and hopelessness.
“Two months after starting LNB, I'm happy to report that my breathing now feels 95% better.
I'm so grateful that I found Simon's video and this course. I was really beginning to think that I was the only one experiencing air hunger and was at a complete loss as to what could be causing it.”
— Karen Dumont, school teacher, Louisiana, 2024 LNB Member
