11 Fascinating Facts About Breathing Throughout our yoga, meditation, and pranayama practices, there is a huge emphasis on the breath. But not so often do we focus on how we breathe day by day, moment to moment – and, in turn, how this affects our lifestyle. Recently I completed an incredible course titled “Applied Anatomy and Physiology” with the inspiring yogi and physiotherapist Simon Borg-Olivier, through Yoga Synergy. Simon talked (and demonstrated) a lot about the breath, and invited along “Respiratory Physiologist, Behavior Modification & Breathing Therapist” Roger Price. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. The Only 12 Exercises You Need To Get In Shape About Transformational Breath Exercises Breath of fire is a pranayama, or breathing technique, where you breathe rapidly, rhythmically and continuously through your nostrils with equal emphasis on your inhalations and exhalations. You concentrate on the power at your navel center and your solar plexus. Because this is considered an advanced pranayama, give yourself plenty of time and expert instruction to learn the proper technique. It is best to work with a teacher to learn pranayama, as these exercises can be quite powerful. The best time to practice is in the morning or two to three hours after a meal. Stop practicing breath of fire if you feel any dizziness or other discomfort. According to the Kundalini Research Institute, breath of fire oxygenates and detoxifies your blood. Before you practice breath of fire, become familiar with abdominal breath, also known as diaphragmatic breathing, and ujjayi breath, also known as ocean breath because of the sound it creates. Begin by taking a few deep breaths.
untitled Terra Maïre untitled Yoni Steaming As A Celebration Of The Sacred Feminine ~ Sierra Brashear | WILD WOMAN In Sanskrit, the term yoni is the word for vagina and womb. A symbol of the Hindu Divine Mother, the yoni is revered in ancient Indian cultures as undeniably sacred. It is, after all, the origin of life. Indeed, the yoni is a powerful force in the world. As beautiful and perfect as those of us who are blessed to have one, our wombs are central to our energetic, emotional, sexual and intellectual wellbeing. They are to be honored, respected and loved by us, and of course, by all those lucky enough to be in their presence. But let’s be real, ladies. With that in mind, I believe that the time has come to transform the experience we have of our wombs, for the sake of the world. It’s called yoni steaming. It’s an idea whose time has come…again. Yoni steaming, also known as vaginal steaming, is actually an ancient women’s remedy that is being fervently revived by women everywhere who are ready to celebrate, pamper and support their yonis. So… Are you ready to celebrate? (c) Sierra Brasher 2015

Being "in the moment" Bodhipaksa Mindfulness can be seen as the practice of “being in the moment” – but what does this actually mean? Does it mean that if we’re mindful we should never think about the past or the future, never try to plan or to reflect on our past experience? Actually, being in the moment means being mindfully aware of what is going on right here and now, in our experience, and this includes any thinking we do about the past or future. When we’re in this robotic state, we’re not mindfully aware of what’s going on. Being in the moment is just another way of saying that we are aware of what is going on in our experience, that we are not just being angry (or whatever) but are aware that we are angry and are aware that we can choose to be otherwise. Often these fantasized pasts and futures are not even real possibilities, but simply fantasies of how things might be or of how we would have liked them to have been. Reflecting with mindfulness Sometimes daydreaming can be creative. Comments

An Analysis Of Feminine Beauty: Part I Good afternoon, my darling dove! In today's lesson of this new series - and upcoming lessons- you're going to learn how and why states of gender and health, as well as states of sexuality affect the motions of every woman. I do hope you enjoy this interesting lesson! If you're desiring to become more feminine, attractive and desirable in the eyes of a man/men, keep on reading. *Smile*For every woman who desires to stand out in a good way from other women, and appear to an advantage should keep in mind that states of gender, health and sexuality affect a woman's physical form, beauty, mannerisms, etc., far more than many women realize. They may also be able to tell whether this woman was in a high or low state of physical health and gender. Moreover, if this state of gender, health and sexuality in a woman is lacking or deficient, no amount of external beauty aids such as cosmetics, clothes or professional image makeovers can compensate for a woman's lack of health or 'sexual poverty.'
