Breathe- the First Key to Wellness

Join us on the journey to Wellbeing.The first Wellness Practice - the one that you do anyway if you are alive is to BREATHE!

There are probably 500 or more ways to breathe, techniques and practices that are taught or published. Not to worry..... Just take a look at how you breathe.

Sit up for a minute

Back relatively straight

Feet on the floor

Hands resting on your lap

Now just follow the flow of your breath.......in ......and........outJust observe........ no need to change anything

Notice a few things

Do you breathe in through your nose or your mouth?

Do you expand your chest or your belly?

Or both.......

Do you exhale through your nose or your mouth or both?

Just observe ….there really is no right or wrong way

How does your chest feel when you breathe......how does your belly feel?

Can you keep your belly loose...... let the air fill you up with healing energy and light...... hold the air in for a few seconds and then let it out slowly and completely.

Do this a few more times..... just five or six times total.

Then just sit quietly and keeping your eyes closed, feel, breathe naturally and experience any changes that may have occurred.

We breathe because we are alive…….every day….. sometimes be mindful of differently qualities of your breathing and see how it expands your awareness.

Enjoy!

Be Well

Walk lightly knowing that you are surrounded by healing light every moment of every day.

Where is the PREVENTION

Greetigs friends and associates
Has anyone seen Sicko? Well it certainly points out some deficiencies and areas needing bolstering in our health system. One is that we all need to know we are responsible for this body from early on so that we take care and nurture ourselves. The movie also points out how Medicine-dependent we have all become. Where is the PREVENTION? As the population ages it is so important to teach and learn ways to care for ourselves - our Mind-Body-Soul. We can do it!! Even those with chronic or frail conditions can see grand improvement through some very simple techniques. The Association of Wellness Practitioners is growing. Founded in 1983, it began simply as a quest to be associated with practitioners who really cared about the people they cared for and had a broader scope of options to offer their clients. Let us know what you want from your Wellness Practitioner? What kind of care helps you toward Wellbeing? What is great about the care you get? What do you need?
