Proper Breathing and Regulating your Oxygen Intake
Here's some food for thought: "According to several
European medical doctors and numerous Taoist, Buddhist, Hindu, Hawaiian and
Native American healers and spiritual teachers, there are at least 200
conditions of life and diseases that relate directly to incorrect breathing.
America's own Dr. Andrew Weil states that "Improper
breathing is a common cause of ill health."
How well do you breathe?
And if you do breathe well, what is the quality of the air
you are inhaling?
Going by priorities, how long will you resist without
food?
Days and days.
Without water?
3vDays
Without air?
Seconds.
A healthy body consist of four fifths water, with
water primarily consisting of oxygen. There are trillions of cells in your body
that constantly require oxygen in order to operate to their maximum potential.
Many diseases are due, at their most basic level, to an oxygen deprived
environment.
So, before you think about feng shui-ing your space as
invading it with three legged frogs and other symbols - think again. Foremost,
focus on the quality of air you and your family (or your co-workers) are
inhaling. You will be surprised, once you start paying attention.
A number of years ago, working on a new work space a
friend and I going thru the space I would open a window here and there, and then
after awhile realized I was opening the same windows, my friend on a different
path would close them as he came across them. Once we realized, we
started laughing, as we both were doing it automatically. I constantly look for
windows to open in a new space, and my friend was concerned with the outdoor
pollution so he was constantly closing windows.
Well, by now there is much more data on the indoor air pollution being much much
higher than the outdoor one. A scary thought.
To focus on solutions, rather than the problems, below are
some suggestions to help your body do help its self.
Ways to improve the indoor air quality:
1. Open windows! (I knew you didn't know it!:)
2. Bring top air purifying plants (as discovered by NASA research), such as
peace lily, boston fern, areca palm, dracaena jenny craig and other. (see the
book "How to Grow Fresh Air" for more info.)
3. Spray or diffuse essential oils in the air (Essential
Oil properties) Go for eucalyptus, lemongrass, sage,
peppermint, etc.
4. Use air purifiers or ionizers. Salt Rock Lamps and Candle holders have been
proved to release large amounts of negative ions into the air.
