In for four, out for five. Oxygen’s good; breathing keeps you alive.
Day 66 already of 101 days of blogging.
Take a deep breath. No, really…we’re talking about the deep breath today!
During one of my last Institute for Integrative Nutrition lectures, I learned all about the art of breathing from Andrew Weil.
He had us do a deep breathing exercise with him that went like this:
- Let out all your air
- Breathe in for 4 counts
- Hold for 7 counts
- Let out for 8 counts
- Repeat several times
And when it was over, I was so calm. I found myself relaxed, at peace and yet ready to find a new energy to carry me through the rest of the day.
Have you ever experienced that with deep breathing?!
Speaking of Dr. Andrew Weil, in case you care to know, here are 3 more things I learned from him/his quotes during that lecture:
- “We do not have a healthcare system in this country. We have a disease-prevention system.“
- He told us that during MEDICAL SCHOOL, they only spent 30 minutes on nutrition. <— wow, wow, wow, wow…you get it.
- “The root problem of many GI disorders is that there is an imbalance of intrinsic motility of the gut.“
Tomorrow is day 67. Topic:
