How to Breathe Deeper and More Deliberately

How to Breathe Deeper and More Deliberately – FREE detailed class on how to practice deep breathing in order to relieve stress and anxiety.

Learning how to regulate the breath is truly one of the key components to maintaining good health and well-being. Most people do not regulate their breath or even think about it, until a health issue presents itself. Many athletes and musicians practice some breathing methods to aid in their performance and stamina. I am suggesting you learn this in order to boost the immune system by removing some stress from your daily routine.

Controlling how you breathe can affect your emotions.

Emotions cause the brain to adjust and affect the body’s blood chemistry.

The blood chemistry directly affects the internal organs and consequently all of the bodily systems and functions.

Watch my online instruction to get a better understanding on how and why to breathe deeper.

Making Time to Exercise

We don’t find time to exercise or do tasks we don’t thoroughly enjoy doing. Rather we “make time” to enjoy the activities we see the benefit in performing.

We often don’t enjoy cooking but enjoy the flavors, nourishment and sometimes camaraderie that come after the meal prep. Cleaning the house is no fun, but we appreciate not having junk or garbage staying in the house. You get the idea.

Many times, we don’t enjoy the process of exercising, but understand that benefits that follow. For some people, the preparation and time spent getting to the gym, club or studio seems to outweigh the return on investment. Many feel the need to look a certain way or dress in “exercise clothes” and travel to where they can exercise. This can be a lot of work and some expense before even starting the physical exercises to stay healthy.

Think about maybe cutting straight to the task and exercise right in your home, patio, or yard. It really is that simple. And you can get a cardio, aerobic or anaerobic, strength, flexibility, balance, and stress relieving session in minutes instead of hours. Exercise smarter, not harder.

If you need help in getting started, contact me or try some of my free online classes on this page or my other websites.

Be well and stay healthy!

Time to Avoid Excuses Towards Your Life!

Time to Avoid Excuses Towards Your Life!

Currently, many of us seem to have a lot of extra time on our hands. But we often talk ourselves out of doing things we know need to be done. It is that way. Part of being human is being lazy.

Come on let’s face it, we do often try to find the route of least resistance. We sit when we can stand. We drive when we can walk. We take the elevator instead the stairs. Some even complain they have no time to take care of themselves, but can find time to watch television and check their smartphone throughout the whole day.

My solution to this part of the human condition, is to take baby steps. That’s it! A minute or two, here and there add up throughout your day. Once you get moving it seems easier to keep moving a while longer.

Sir Isaac Newton proposed his First Law of Motion, the law of inertia, in 1687: A body at rest tends to remain at rest. A body in motion tends to stay in motion. Bodies will continue in their current state, whether at rest or in motion, unless acted on by a greater outside force.

Let me know if you need help getting started. I have much information and online classes here and at my other sites.

Be well. Stay healthy.

Why I Share, What I Have Learned

I made my commitment many years ago to learn, study, practice and teach fitness and well-being. My education came from martial arts and various other Eastern methods rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). I started when I was 16 years old and have never stopped since; 56 now.

I have written journals, produced educational graphics and co-authored a book. I blog often with a WordPress site, writing about the anatomical, physiological and mental benefits of mind and body training. Years back I started recording my classes and lectures, knowing that somewhere down the line, all of this information would be valuable to those who need and desire it.

My YouTube channel has almost 200 videos of FREE classes and other education videos. The goal all along has been to raise the awareness that Tai chi (a martial art), qigong (yoga at its root) and many other Eastern wellness methods, have proven the test of time for maintaining well-being. No gym, no mat, no membership, no special clothes or equipment. Just the individual and their engagement.

Weak or injured knees, back issues (strains & sciatica), stress & anxiety, asthma, arthritis, balance, poor posture – the list is endless. These are all issues that can be improved or overcome by those serious about learning about the mind, body & spirit connection.

When things get back to “normal” I will resume charging for my weekly follow along classes, private lessons and group lectures. Until then I will continue to offer my free online classes via YouTube and some on Facebook.

Be well and stay healthy!

A Method to Pursue Mind, Body & Spirit Harmony – The 8-Step Path

A Method to Pursue Mind, Body & Spirit Harmony – The 8-Step Path

A long-understood method of achieving harmony between one’s mind, body and spirit, is this 8-Step Path. It has its origin in the ancient Chinese philosophy of Daoism but is highly relative to modern culture. The figure “8″ is important to understand that as the infinity circle, there is no beginning nor end to entering into this process. It is a journey of self-awareness that can be entered into at any point throughout one’s lifetime. Life is a challenge, and so is staying on this path of self-improvement. The reward is at the end of one’s journey, knowing that they have pursued a meaningful life with direction and purpose.

Spirituality and religion are often lumped together but have rather distinctly different meanings. So let’s look at spiritually more as a level of self-awareness, purpose and life direction and not necessarily a membership to any particular religion or belief system.

The graphic immediately below shows how the 8 are all interconnected. Below that are the brief descriptions of each of the 8 steps. This is by no means the only method to find this harmony of mind, body and spirit. It is a time-proven method that I have learned and have tried to cultivate for many years.

8-Step Path

1-8-fold path 2-8-fold path 3-8-fold path 4-8-fold path 5-8-fold path 6-8-fold path 7-8-fold path 8-8-fold path

Qigong, tai chi, baguazhang, and yoga are not the only methods that can be used within this formula but have proven the test of time as methods to cultivate harmony of the mind, body and spirit. These exercise practices offer a wide spectrum of physical wellness benefits, stress relief as well as means of self-awareness. Not all teachers nor students practice these for the same goals.
