TIME FOR A BREATHER?
The “I don’t. Know” entries were pretty serious—okay a lot of the entries. Here have serious moments—so I decided it was time to take a “breather.” So all together now...
Imagine a spot within you that is holding stress or pain—come on it’s not hard to do...I know you can do it... Now imagine that all the air around you is a cool bl.ue healing gel/liquid. Now imagine the painful/stressed space in you is red and holds the red inside you...
Breathe in blue maybe to the count of 4 or so or just a deep breath. In your mind’s eye direct this blue breath. To the red spots and visualize the blue filling in the. Spots while you scoop some of the red up. Breathe out the red...just a little bit at a time..Repeat. How often? Well not with every breath, however as long as you plan on breathing anyway do this. As often as you might find it helpful.
Okay...I would be a liar if I claimed I didn’t mean to go all Zenn on you having you focus on your breath for therapeutic reasons. Bottom line deep breathing and increased. Lung capacity are healthy habits and can remove some barriers to seeking peace and. Joy. Try to do it through your nose if possible...but if not don’t quit breathing.
In. The next. Entry there will be some links to some really great resources. That feature. Breathing, however, I did want to make this a breather for the reader and keep this relatively short so let’s have a bit of fun...
Here are some interesting. Facts about breathing and ther lungs (body parts involved—you’ll find the links tomorrow).
How. Much do we breathe?
Well normally wee take in about 13 pints of air per minute or in an hour imagine 780 gallon milk jugs filled with air going into and coming out of your body—sort of makes you think air quality might matter? Laughter is a form of breathing and “it is the best medicine—-well that and honey—“. Anyway laughter is good for you and unfortunately its one of those things we seem to get worse at as we get wiser (old). Children laugh on an average 300 times a day while adults cackle and snort only 15 to 20 times on the average earth spin.
Lungs, the primary breathing body part are huge —although the right one is lbigger because the left one makes room for some fairly important body muscle otherwise known as your heart. How big are.your lungs? Well they not only take in this three quarters of a gallon of air on a regular basis—if you flattened them out ...they would be the3 size of? A queen-sized bed? .... No.. A 1972 Country Squire or other such family station wagon where you could throw little children in the far back and let them out withe swinging tailgate door...No...the size fo the average American workspace?...n—-drum roll Lungs flattened out would cover the square feet equivolent to a tennis court.
Oh and one3 of the coolest things we do with this air we take into our lungs in singing Iit seemappropriate to wrap up todays entry with a little challenge...
Think of three songs that. Have “breathe in the title. Or as a significant part of the lyrics.
I’m taking
Every Breath You Take—All I Needs (Is the. Air thatI breathe) and Bush’s Machinehead “breathe in—Breathe out... Now your turn
