Are you really “too busy” for your own well-being?
No, but your tell yourself that.
The honest answer that will actually deliver help is to acknowledge – “I am not able to find a way to take care of myself right now.” And saying this with honesty and compassion, rather than from judgement, or shoulds, will potentially lead you in a different direction that actually might stir the hunger for your own value of your own vitality and well-being.
Recent investigations measured the subjects being studied noted that they were thinking about something other than what they were doing……47% of the time……which translates to the subjects not being present to the task at hand 47% of the time…..ALMOST HALF the time…..which translates to half the day is spent not with focus on what one is doing…….NUTS!
So when a vital resource like the breath and how it either serves you and nourishes you, or how it accelerates your unhealthy patterns and diminishes your vitality. If you are unable to attend for moments in your day to what is MOST vital to your health and well-being…..well, you are left with being dictated and overrun by less vital influences and your health will be compromised.
UNLESS you take right action. Bring attention….maybe part of that 47% of the time…….onto the breath and into your body. Then you actually might find access to a resource that truly wants the best for you and your well-being.

The Amazing Health Benefits of the Breath – Nitric Oxide
Nitric Oxide was originally discovered in 1986 by Dr. Louis Ignarro in his lab. And he and two of his colleges were awarded a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1998. This naturally produced gas is as important for the health of the human body as Vitamin D. YEP!!!!
From Dr. Ignarro are the key benefits he found with Nitric Oxide. Through nasal breathing this substance is stimulated and circulated from the paranasal sinuses into the respiratory tract. The lining of the respiratory tract has a strong affinity for nitric oxide for support with immune function, tissue health and healing, and circulation/exchange of respiratory gases. WOW! NOW you know how smart the body is, and how the nose is intimately tied to your health.
Here is a lecture by Dr. Ignarro
As for the importance of healthy nasal passages – the ole osteopaths, Dr. Andrew Still & Dr. William Sutherland, referred to the ethmoid bone (the passages from which the air through the nasal passages pass into the skull to vibrate the pituitary gland) are the “lungs of the cranium.” BOOM!
Here is another video/podcast with Dr. Ignarro with some great insights:
This video goes over the sequence, modified for biomechanical advantages, injury prevention while doing them, and aspects of the breathing……and hummmmm-ing.
