My Last Inhalers
I framed the last inhalers I was prescribed for asthma: a Ventolin inhaler and two strong steroid inhalers. These will be familiar to many of you. I began using similar inhalers before the age of three and never imagined I could live without them.
However, through lifestyle changes and a specific set of breathing exercises, I have transformed my respiratory health. I no longer suffer from asthma.
Notably, I no longer experience the allergies that used to leave me with a constantly blocked nose or hay fever. While I still pay attention to my diet, many foods that used to trigger asthma attacksālike butterāno longer cause any allergic reactions. I believe this improvement is because my body was once overwhelmed by layers of inflammation that my immune system couldnāt manage. Once the underlying causes were addressed, my system became far more resilient.
Another significant change has been in my stress response. I hadnāt realized how stressed I was, caught in a cycle that only worsened my condition.
In the picture frame, Iāve inscribed the words āIn emergency, donāt break glassā as a reminder that, even if I face challenges, I now have the knowledge, skills, and practices to manage them.

Do you feel stressed and hopeless because of your asthma?
I understand how you feel. I was diagnosed with asthma as an infant and relied on strong medications throughout my childhood and adult life. Regular asthma attacks sometimes led to hospital visits and using a nebulizer. While the episodes eased during my teenage years, they returned with force in my late twenties.
Cold, damp weather made things worse, especially in autumn when my lungs would contract, and I struggled with blocked airways, loud, wheezy breathing, and frequent chest infections. I was highly allergicāanimal dust and certain foods triggered attacksāand mouth breathing only made my chest infections more frequent. Despite having my tonsils removed and nasal passage surgery, my breathing didnāt improve, and respiratory infections were a constant issue.
But thatās all in the past. Today, I no longer have asthma and no longer use any medication. In this training, Iāll share how I made that transformation.
If you had asked me to picture my lungs back then, I would have imagined scarred, diseased tissue, like the images you see on cigarette boxes. I never thought I could completely overcome asthma. Now, after years without an inhaler, my experience of my lungs has changed. I see them as healthy and vibrant, like upturned trees in my chest, providing oxygen and nourishing my body.
I didnāt realize how much stress I was carrying, but today, I feel like a completely different person.
"I have been struggling with allergic asthma for years. Even though Iāve been into yoga, I could not find a way to improve my breathing and overcome my stress. I was so excited when I found David's program. It has been only 5 weeks since I joined, and Iāve already reduced my daily inhaler doses from twice to once." - O.O
"The courseĀ has transformed my daily life. Connecting each practice to its deeper and scientific meaning keeps me motivated and engaged. I feel lighter, my mind clearer, and Iām amazed by the power of simply regulating my breath. I am undoubtedly calmer, sleep better, and am more energized. This program creates a sense of safety that allows me to explore my bodyās potential and live more joyfully." T.T
