If you’ve ever had an Oxygen Experience, you’ll be running back for more. Once again Michael’s Body Scenes is on the cutting edge of the health and fitness industry by offering a state-of-the-art therapy for club members and elite athletes who want to boost their performance.

We’ve acquired oxygen machines that let you breathe in pure, aromatic air that literally lifts your spirits. According to the Oxygen Experience promoters, breathing oxygen helps boost the immune system, gives you more energy, speeds metabolism for maximum fat burning and relaxes both the mind and body.

We all know that when we’re stressed, our breathing becomes short and choppy and we don’t get enough oxygen in our lungs to calm down. Deep breathing, yoga mindful breathing and other techniques help slow down the rush of adrenalin and equalize the “fight or flight” response we get from stressful situations.

Oxygen therapy isn’t new. The casinos in Las Vegas have been pumping oxygen into their gambling facilities to increase the stamina and endurance of their players for years.

Oxygen kiosks are springing up in malls, health clubs and spas all over the country. Michael Jackson made hyperbaric oxygen chambers famous when he bought one of his own.

A short 10 to 15 minute session with the oxygen apparatus can literally change your physiology as well as your mental state. Yes, you feel that natural high and euphoria of being totally relaxed and serene. But more importantly, for me, was the fact a mere 10 minutes reduced my blood pressure drastically.

I’d been monitoring my blood pressure in order to evaluate whether or not to take medication. The morning I tried the oxygen experience, my blood pressure was 143/93 and had been at that borderline high level for weeks. I felt so wonderful after the session, I asked trainer Brett Rabbat to take a reading. It was 123/70! I was so astounded he repeated the procedure and the reading was fractionally higher.

I’m absolutely hooked and can’t wait for the machines to be operational. The charge will be $1 per minute and from my experience, it’s well worth it.
