Ah! Whenever drawn
To thank my body for all—
My very last breath.

Dear Friends of #Relaxing,

Just uploaded my first in many years #simple #led #meditation.

Here is what the AI says about it …

“In this meditation, the speaker guides us through a #process of #deep #breathing and #relaxation. They suggest finding a #comfortable #posture and #focusing on #directing the #breath to different parts of the body, using the word “relaxing” to encourage relaxation. They also suggest circling the #shoulders and #neck, and using the #fingers to touch and #relax specific areas of #tension. The speaker emphasizes the importance of being gentle and doing what feels comfortable. The meditation ends with a period of #quiet #sitting and a reminder to have a nice day.”

Hope it is useful. Nothing too complex. Not too difficult at all …

Just under 9 minutes

Carbon dioxide tolerance is the body’s ability to handle a temporary imbalance of CO2 and oxygen. The higher your tolerance is, the longer you’ll be able to hold your breath.

6 Benefits of CO2 Tolerance:
1) Helps reduce anxiety

2) Helps you run faster for longer
CO2 tolerance and running are a winning combination, since the former has been proven to be beneficial for endurance athletes. This is because the more CO2 they can tolerate, the slower their heart rates will remain. Running with a low tolerance causes the heart to beat quickly, which will lead to feeling winded faster. Being able to tolerate more carbon dioxide means that your heart will continue to beat slowly, allowing you to increase your pace for a longer period of time.

3) Helps you stay underwater when freediving
4) Helps manage symptoms of depression

5) Helps reduce inflammation
CO2 is also great at reducing inflammation throughout the body. Building a higher tolerance allows you to hold onto carbon dioxide for longer. This means that there’s more of it available to travel throughout your body and help relieve the inflammation.

6) Helps increase energy
Being able to tolerate CO2 can also help you produce more physical and mental energy. As you retain more CO2, it helps the mitochondria in your cells to multiply, which increases the amount of energy you have to burn off. This is great for anyone with an active lifestyle or who regularly needs to focus intensely on their work.

The article display many different breathwork practices one can choose from to improve CO2 intolerance.
I find this youtube channel to be a superb tool to achieve this:
www.youtube.com/@free-your-bre…
There you will find guided practices ranging from beginner level to elite level, covering these different methods: box breathing, slow breathing, breath hold training, trapezoid breathing and triangle breathing.
Most practices take around 10-15min.

I looked on #YouTube for a video on the #posture of #appoggio used by #singers. I found plenty of people talking to camera about its history and why it's a good technique for #breath #control .
But none actually demonstrated it in action!
Can anyone suggest a video showing a physical demonstration, ideally with explanatory illustrations?

One of the better podcasts with James Nestor as it is clear spoken and informative with extended information not covered in his book.
Breathing (correctly (nasal breathing)) is so very important for your health. Keep in mind that most of your energy comes not from the food you eat but the air that you breath (oxidative phosphorylation metabolic pathway in the mitochondria uses about six times more oxygen than glucose to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP)).

Dear Friends of the Breathing,

As we may know, when #focussed or tense, we hold our #breath. So #breathe out. Everything living is OK … when you are.

Breathing is something we all do, but unbeknownst to most of us, we do not do it well.

If you are interested in learning more about the importance of breathing to your health and well-being, consider reading Breath by James Nestor. The author chronicles the "cultural, spiritual and evolutionary history of the way humans breathe - and how we’ve all been doing it wrong for a long, long time.” (Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love).

There was silence for a long moment. David and his mother looked at one another. David maintained a stoic silence and then finally let out his #breath.
"Thank you, mother," he said, finally. Stiffly.
She nodded silently and turned to go. Then turned back.
"I'm sorry… David," she said. "I'm sorry that for so long I didn't understand. And didn't trust you. I'm sorry for everything."
David, lip quivering, nodded in turn.
She turned away and David followed Revin back into Ravensbelth.

Notice what you’re thinking and how it makes you feel. Notice how you’re holding your body and what your attitude is toward life.

Notice how you become aware of the present moment.

You can transform it with breath, gentle movement, consider the thoughts you feed, notice your attitude, &

as you change even one thing, you move toward greater ease. (Despite the world).

Inner Peace
Start within. Return again & again.
It’s not easy; it’s worth it. 💙

Applied awareness meditations accommodate those with asthma or others who have difficulties when paying attention to breathing.

I strongly encourage anyone who teaches mindfulness or other breathwork exercises to do the same. Feel free to use the following as a template to implement accommodations: https://appliedawareness.org/stress-relief-program/

I’ve been “tightly wound” around important issues (to me)-climate change and abortion, in particular are the flavors of the day.

And I realized, me tight won’t change the outcome. Won’t change you. In fact, I’ll contribute to the dark.

Yes, I will continue to care. But I won’t get sick from this sick world. I will be the peace I am seeking.

That is all I have for today. I’m going to practice #yoga and #breath work and #meditation right now.

And be the peace I crave.

Meet me there?

There has been confusion around "droplets" and "aerosols"; what do they mean? What's the difference?

It's the difference between spittle and breath.

Hi Ali. This meditation can be used when you're ready to sleep, and helps you get into REM faster.

Just notice your natural breathing in and out while you let your body fall completely asleep. Let your body fall deeper and deeper asleep (relax all the muscles in your body) with every exhale until you fall asleep.

Hope this is helpful.

All Winter, I am trying Cold Exposure Therapy. ❄️ It is going well.

It has been snowing and the average temperature is below freezing. 🧊

Several times a day I've been going outside, into the cold. ☃️

Not doing full Wim Hof method, but I also do some breathwork and will get some of those same benefits! 💪
