There aren’t enough hours in the day!
Seriously! How do YOU get everything done?
Do you ever feel like you are chasing your tail?
That tail chasing feeling is usually accompanied by the nagging feeling that you are forgetting something.
What a bummer when you ARE forgetting something!
Like your supplements or medication! … Need a reminder service?
That can be arranged… but what do you do if you are forgetting to breathe?!
I don’t mean the minimal breathing that keeps us alive.
Breathing is automatic. If we had to remember to breathe, we would die.
Athletes and singers think about their breathing. They practice at building their breath. However, most people don’t realize they are not breathing effectively.
You’d feel a lot better if you were using your lungs to their full capacity!
There is great value in a breath building program!
Would you like more energy, more calm confidence, the ability to recover your well being?!
That is what a breath building program can do for you.
However….
The problem is that unless you have some ulterior motive to improve performance, or your singing voice, you’re not likely to stick with the application of breath building exercises.
Do you really care how you sound in the shower?
You are just not likely to give breath building your time.
Even if you are really suffering, you may not notice quickly enough improvement in how you feel to motivate you to continue doing it.
So how can you benefit from better breathing if you don’t have the motivation to accomplish it?
The number one reason that you hold your breath… is tension.
Reducing your tension will increase the size of your breath, because your rigid muscles will no longer be squeezing the life out of you!
RELAX! So that YOU can breathe a sigh of relief!
The cause of your tension could be obvious… or not.
Consistent relaxation practice is the only way to make progress!
If you reduce your tension you breathe more deeply.
“Practice relaxing? I think I know how to do that!”
Don’t be insulted, I know that you know how to relax; however, I’m asking you to make time each day to devote to releasing the tension that is constantly building.
Simply committing to consistent practice will get you the results you need! I really want that for you.
Relaxation is not something anyone can give you. It is something you have to do for yourself.
Give yourself health building, stress reducing, life saving RELAXATION!
- You must work at this.
- You can’t find it in a pill.
- There is no magic yoga posture.
- Every method requires consistent practice.
- Guided meditation, or meditation technology is helpful only when you use it consistently.
- Adequate sleep is necessary to achieve any significant level of relaxation.
- Facing your emotions is the only way to release tension.
Okay, hold the phone here.
How do you consistently practice relaxing if you are ants in the pants uncomfortable to sit in quiet stillness?
REALLY good question!
How do you do ANYTHING that makes you ants in the pants uncomfortable?
Let me ask you a question.
Are you sick and tired of being tense, stiff, and downright irritable?
Do you have really nice friends who are often outwardly irritable?
Are some people just hopelessly stiff, prone to bouts of bitchiness, and cursed to a life of pain and misery?
How can your lovely friends achieve quiet stillness so that they can release those trapped emotions that are plaguing them?
Can a detox diet really help to bring you to a place of focused quiet stillness?

Have You Heard that Vitamin Pills Won’t Help Heart Disease, but Cholesterol Drugs Are Magic?

Don’t believe the hype. There is no magic pill for health. If you are not eating fruits and vegetables and getting plenty of exercises, you are not building health.
Real hope for heart disease isn’t in pill form, though many supplements can be helpful. Would you like trustworthy advice from your health care provider?
The problem is that the most beneficial things you can do for your heart and your health are free. If you only listen to sources that want your dollars, you will pay dearly.
You have the power to build your health and vitality! No matter what your current state of health, you can feel better if you nurture yourself.
The researchers who first impressed the world with cholesterol-lowering drug studies were careful to point out that the wonderful benefits of their study could be achieved by lowering cholesterol with diet and lifestyle changes.
There is no money to be made in advising people to eat better. Drugs are far more profitable. However, cholesterol-lowering drugs bring along undesirable side effects that could be far worse than the benefits they apparently offer.
If you take Statin drugs, are you also paying attention to your diet?
The drug companies say that you should be using the drugs in combination with diet and lifestyle changes.
Did your doctor spend time talking with you about HOW to change your diet before he gave you a prescription that could CAUSE heart failure?
The studies credit reduction of CRP, which is a measure of inflammation, as the reason that many more people should be using Statin drugs.
Reducing inflammation within your body is definitely health building. How can you do that without risking undesirable side effects?
Increasing the amount of fruits and vegetables in your diet will reduce inflammation, thereby reducing your risk of heart attack and stroke.
The only reason to advise drug use BEFORE giving serious effort to support diet and lifestyle change, is TO MAKE MONEY.
Is there a magical way to build health, and reduce the risk of ALL forms of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke?
I wouldn’t say that it is magic, but it is simple and easy to do. Read more
