Breathe, Just Breathe

Had the usual demanding day. Semi-demanding client. Lots of people tugging at me. Then, home...and...I do it all over again. I sit and hold my breath. I do not breathe. So...I have concentrated on breathing. For the last hour, I'm just breathing. Because when I don't breathe, I feel stressed, I eat, I don't do things for myself. I just need to breathe.

Try three breathing exercises from Dr. Weil.

■Inhale and exhale rapidly through your nose, keeping your mouth closed but relaxed. Your breaths in and out should be equal in duration, but as short as possible. This is a noisy breathing exercise.


■Try for three in-and-out breath cycles per second. This produces a quick movement of the diaphragm, suggesting a bellows. Breathe normally after each cycle.

■Do not do for more than 15 seconds on your first try. Each time you practice the Stimulating Breath, you can increase your time by five seconds or so, until you reach a full minute.

I need to set aside 15 mins each day for breathing. Breathing. Breathing. I'll let you know how it goes. Please share your thoughts on breathing.
