Releasing Stress One Breath at a Time
Posted by Michelle Moquin on May 5th, 2011
Good morning!
I don’t know about all of you, but I need to find better ways to deal with the stress in my life. Let me rephrase…to release the stress in my life. I have a tendency to go, and go and go, and I am sure I am not alone on this.
I have found that breathing…correct breathing is super important. I have been breathing incorrectly my entire life which I discovered has had negative affects on my health. Did any of you read the Health Info article posted back in January: “Why sucking in your stomach harms your health” ? That write was a life changer for me. I have been holding in my tummy since I was very young. Why I got into the habit I really don’t know.
So I decided to do what the article suggested and became very conscious of my breath by practicing the exercises. It was a little bit of a challenge to be aware of my tummy, just let my tummy hang free, and breathe deeply into my stomach instead of my chest. But I was committed to improving the way that I breathed because I knew that how I was breathing ( short, not deep breaths) was just not right.
What I didn’t realize was not only how much of a negative affect breathing incorrectly had had on my health all of these years, but that by breathing correctly, had a positive affect too. This revelation occurred to me when I attended a dojo fit class that I had been taking.
As much as I loved the class, I seemed to have a more difficult time in the class than most of the other people. Prior to my new correct breathing, my friend Phil used to say to me during the class, “How’s it going Michelle? You’re lips are turning slightly blue. Take a few seconds to rest if you need.” And yes, I needed.
But one day I went to class and I had no problem keeping up. And the pain that I used to get in my hips never arrived. The class was easier. In fact it was almost effortless. I felt rejuvenated from the class instead of beat. Then I had a revelation: My breath. I was breathing correctly. And by breathing deeply into my tummy, my body was getting the oxygen it needed, and I was therefore feeling no pain. I can’t tell you how excited I was to discover this.
I immediately told my friend Phil, and we engaged in this wonderful conversation about breath. He is a 4th degree black belt, and has studied many martial arts modalities, as well as Qigong for many years. He taught me a standing Qigong meditation for the breath to reduce and release stress. Although the “stance” is not quite something you would want to do while waiting in line at the bank. :)
So while I like the standing meditation, it also does take a bit more time. So while perusing, the net I found an article that also talks about…
Releasing Stress One Breath at a Time
Ancient cultures the world over have recognized that well-being springs from a life lived in balance. But with the demanding pace of modern life, it seems almost impossible to achieve a balanced lifestyle. The American Institute of Stress reports that stress-related problems account for 75 to 90 percent of adult visits to primary care physicians.1 What then is the true cost to our health of living a stress-filled life, and what can we do about it?
While stress is named as one of our top health issues, it’s not actually new. Life expectancy was only 30 to 45 years of age in the early 20th century, when top stressors were how to avoid cholera or find sanitary conditions. Now with the promise of a longer life before us, we worry about juggling current work, financial and family pressures in the face of a shifting world.
If stress has always been around and always will be, wouldn’t it make sense to simply accept the fact and get used to it? The Mayo Clinic warns us that the impact of stress can sneak up on us in devastating ways, and if left unchecked can contribute to a number of health problems. The immediate symptoms of stress range from chest pain, headaches, upset stomachs, insomnia, social withdrawal, angry outbursts and lack of concentration, with long-term repercussions contributing to high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity and diabetes.
Whether we are being chased by a saber tooth tiger, side-stepping a small pox outbreak, or are pursued by mounting deadlines, our bodies react in much the same way. And the good news is that many ancient tools are still powerful solutions regardless of the source of stress.
Since our earliest history, virtually every culture has valued breath as an important tool in bringing balance when life gets challenging. In ancient Greece, pneuma meant “breath” as well as “life” and “spirit,” and breath practice was seen as vital for both physical and emotional wellness. India developed an entire system of breath practices which is currently found in yoga and Ayurvedic medicine. Within these systems, the Sanskrit term prana refers to our physical breath, and the essence of life itself.
Ayurveda is one of the earliest medical traditions to emphasize the importance of breath on our health and well-being, with origins reaching back to the mid-second to mid-first millennium B.C. Arising from ancient India, Ayurveda is Sanskrit for “science/knowledge of longevity.” Today Ayurvedic medicine is being researched by the National Institute of Health, and the World Health Organization supports the integration of its practices into modern medicine.2
Within Ayurveda,3 breath is a major factor in supporting agni, or our “digestive fire.” This refers not only to absorbing the nutrients from food, but also metabolizing experiences, memories and emotions such as guilt, anger and pent-up sadness. Using the breath to support the healthy assimilation of undigested emotions moves us out of the stress response and into balanced living.
China is another culture that developed elegant breathing practices, and they exist as a branch of traditional Chinese medicine. And from Central Park in New York to the Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, you can still glimpse the 4,000-year-old breath and movement forms of tai chi and chi gungbeing practiced in the early morning hours. And it’s clear that the stress-relieving benefits run deep, as a study published in the International Journal of Neuroscience revealed that these practices reduce blood pressure and stabilize the sympathetic nervous system.
Try these ancient stress relievers for yourself:
- Balancing breath: Breathe in while silently counting 1-2-3-4, and hold your breath in for another four counts. Then fully exhale while silently counting 1-2-3-4, and pause for four additional counts before your next breath. Find a tempo that you can evenly maintain during all four parts of this breath cycle. Complete the series five to six times, or for about a minute. Then allow your breath to return its own natural rhythm.
- Full-body breath: We’ve learned from science that the oxygen we breath nourishes every cell in our body. Using a full but natural breath, imagine the vitality from your breath flowing upward, bringing clarity to your mind and ease to your emotions. Exhale, directing your breath down through your body from head to toe, releasing tension along the way. Continue for one to three minutes, relaxing your body as you clear your mind.
- Quality breath: Continue with full-body breathing, and add a word, such as “strength” or “calm,” that captures a quality you would like to feel or amplify. Silently repeat the word on each in- and out-breath. Continue for three minutes.
Because our breath travels with us wherever we go, it’s easy to incorporate mini stress-reliving sessions throughout the day. And the oxygen we get from breath practices fuels our vitality as well as releases stress. So whether you’re waiting in line at the market, riding the bus or finally home kicking off your shoes, they are all great times to take a breather.

Baraki: That and the fact that there are those that care more about oil than human lives…than women. Therefore they continue to do business with countries that abuse their women, all for the sake of the love of the dollar.
Dala: We live daily hearing, and for many, actually experiencing, the atrocities that men do to women. And they see nothing wrong with their abuse. Yet when men have the tables turned on them, they are seen begging for their lives, groveling to be saved. I have no compassion for them. I’m and eye for an eye kind of girl. I pray too that I will alive to see that religion destroyed.
Mike: What you posted is so unbelievable. And people say that Bush was “vigilant”. After those examples, that is the last thing I would call Bush. I think he was too busy playing golf to be attentive in the protection of our country. Or he was too busy making money deals for his own benefit, with little regard for our country. Probably both.
Zen Lill: I should’ve posted the entire segment of that transcript. The transcript is exactly that…a transcript of the entire interview ( video that you saw) word for word. What I hoping to articulate was that when you take out the “drama” of the visuals, one can just read it…as well as read between the lines of what is said, and what is not said. My point is that the media likes to dramatize the event, and make a victim out of Logan, playing to our emotional side so that we get so ramped up in emotion, that we neglect to question the details of the event. When reading the transcript, there is no emotion to be “seen”, so one can just read without being influenced by the visuals.
Orgun: You’re welcome.
Samangan: You’re welcome also. And I agree with you. Makes sense to me. If you can talk about that horrific night, you can certainly remember to thank the ones who saved you.
Tarin Kowt: Thanks for reposting that segment of the transcript. And great question. Me? I’d remember who saved me. But I would certainly not forget the “actions” of the men that brought me there either.
Speaking of me…I’m out of here.

I was trained in operatic style singing, beginning at 12 years old, and I’ve been singing my whole life. This allowed me to perform onstage with the likes of famed conductor, Robert Shaw, it was a must to learn proper breathing early. Right breathing also helps one reach a deep meditative practice.
An easy, yet highly effective, 5 minute meditation that helps one in both areas of this is to stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your hands at your sides. Breathe deeply and slowly without allowing your shoulders or chest to move. Your stomach should extend out. Feel the breath enter your body and fill your lungs so that they inflate in their natural process by opening up and pushing down, which in turn fills your stomach area. This is the reason your stomach expands. Your lungs were not designed to lift your rib cage. So, changing your breathing patterns to this process will make dramatic effects on many parts of your life. Do this repeatedly for 5 minutes, everyday. All the while focus on the breaths coming in and your exhalation of each breath. This alone can change your life.

The republicans are so corrupt that they are allowing the Insurance industry to write the insurance regulations that will regulate their industry even to how the law will be enforced.
Now that they control the House, they are forcing the dems to accept their rewrite of the law. Unfortunately the republicans are allowing the insurance industry lawyers make the regulations useless.

Thrifty Consumer’s Guide to Buying Organic Foods
Marion Nestle, PhD, MPH
Advocates of organic foods contend that the pesticide residue on produce and the hormones given to animals destined for the butcher’s shop render non organic foods very dangerous to eat.
Skeptics say there’s no proof linking conventionally farmed foods to the many diseases they are blamed for.
If your convictions lie somewhere in the middle, you may be struggling with another aspect of this controversy — the cost.
Do the health benefits of organic foods really justify paying significantly more for them than for nonorganic foods? There is no easy answer, because there is no hard-and-fast evidence.
For instance…
In lab studies, pesticides have been linked to cancer and reproductive and neurological problems. And it does appear that farmers who work directly with pesticides have elevated rates of these medical problems.
But: There is little clinical data showing how humans are affected by eating crops grown with pesticides.
Theoretically, if organic foods are grown in soil that is richer in nutrients, the crops should be more nutritious.
Some studies do suggest that organic foods have a higher nutrient content than nonorganic — but others find no difference.
You may have heard claims that organic foods aid weight loss. This is true only to the extent that people who eat organic generally are health-conscious, so they maintain a diet naturally low in calories and high in nutrition. However, organic foods themselves do not automatically keep you slim.
A reasonable approach…
BEWARE OF THE “DIRTY DOZEN”
Plant crops are considered organic when they are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers or sewage sludge… and are not genetically engineered or irradiated to combat bacteria and insects. They cost from 10% to 40% more than their nonorganic counterparts.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG), a nonprofit research organization, has developed a list of the 12 conventionally farmed fruits and vegetables most laden with pesticides.
Organic is well worth the higher price for these — apples, bell peppers, carrots, celery, cherries, grapes (imported), kale, lettuce, nectarines, peaches, pears and strawberries.
If you do buy a nonorganic food from this “dirty dozen,” wash it thoroughly before eating. Also, discard the outermost leaves of leafy vegetables, such as lettuce, especially with nonorganic produce.
EWG also has determined which conventionally farmed foods usually are low in pesticide residue.
To save money, you can skip organic versions of these — asparagus, avocado, broccoli, cabbage, eggplant, kiwifruit, mango, onion, papaya, pineapple, sweet corn, sweet peas, sweet potato, tomato and watermelon.
Helpful: To print a wallet card of these lists, go to http://www.foodnews.org/walletguide.php.
Or just remember this rule of thumb — if you eat the skin (like an apple), buy organic… if you peel the skin (like an onion), conventional is okay.
Not all of EWG’s recommendations fit this guideline, but most do.
THE WORD ON EGGS, MILK & MEAT
For any animal product to be considered organic, it must come from animals given a diet of organic feed.
This means that the feed was grown without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, preservatives or sewage sludge… was not genetically modified or irradiated… and contained no animal byproducts.
Organic feed is expensive, so organic animal products often cost more than twice as much as nonorganic.
Organic eggs come from hens that have some outdoor access instead of being constantly confined to cages… and have not been treated with antibiotics or hormones.
Organic eggs are readily available in supermarkets. Are they worth paying double? It’s a personal decision.
Milk labeled organic is free of genetically modified recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH).
Though the FDA says there is no difference between organic and nonorganic milk in terms of effects on health, some research suggests a link between rBGH and hormone-related cancers, such as breast, ovarian and uterine cancer.
For that reason, organic milk is a safer choice for young children, whose growing bodies are more susceptible to hormonal effects… people with weakened immune systems, such as the elderly… and those with a chronic illness.
With meat, poultry and fish, organic means that the animals received no antibiotics or growth hormones in the last 12 months.
These items often are difficult to find and are the most expensive of the organic products.
Many consumers are reassured to know that organic beef comes from cows that were not fed ground-up animal parts, as nonorganic cows sometimes are — because some research links this practice to the human form of “mad cow” disease.
However, there has been only one known case of the disease in the US, and that occurred in a person who had eaten beef overseas.
Are organic meat, poultry and fish worth the inconvenience and expense?
If you feel strongly about supporting more humane treatment of animals and protecting the environment from pesticides, your answer may be yes.
Visit http://www.greenpeople.org/organicmeat.html for a list of sellers in your area who carry organic meat, poultry and fish.
“ORGANIC” VS. “NATURAL”
Food labels can be confusing. As you shop, keep these terms in mind…
100% organic means just what it says.
Organic means that at least 95% or more of the ingredients must be organic.
Made with organic ingredients signifies that at least 70% of the ingredients are organic.
Natural does not mean organic. In fact, it has no standard definition so there’s no point in paying more for a food just because it claims to be natural.

Provide for Your Animal After Your Death
Jonathan Rankin, Esq.
Legally, animals are property and cannot inherit anything, but a pet trust lets you — the grantor of assets — use assets to care for a pet.
You appoint a caregiver — an individual or an organization — to care for the animal. And you designate a trustee, such as an attorney, to set up the trust and monitor the caregiver to make sure that the assets are being used appropriately.
The trust also may include a remainder beneficiary, who will inherit any assets that may be left after the animal dies. Consult an attorney for details about trusts in your state.

More Outrageousness from our Elected Leaders
The House just passed a bill that could force rape and incest survivors to prove to the IRS that they were assaulted.1
And now they are even threatening hold our entire economy hostage over it by attaching the contents of the bill to essential legislation that raises the debt ceiling. If the debt ceiling bill does not pass then it would devastate our economy—and Republicans want to use this threat to force Senate Democrats into voting for a bill with these anti-choice provisions included.2
It’s absolutely outrageous. That’s why we are teaming up with our friends at EMILY’s List to pressure the Senate to reject this and other terrible attacks on the rights and well-being of women.
Can you sign the petition right now? Tell the Senate to stand up against this terrible bill—and speak out against the Republican war on women.
H.R. 3 would impose tax penalties on small businesses and individuals who buy abortion coverage with their own money—with exceptions only for cases of rape, incest, or when a woman’s life is in danger.3
The result? Survivors of rape and incest who seek abortion care could be forced to detail their assaults and provide proof to IRS investigators.4
Reliving a horrific sexual assault to the police and in court is awful enough. Forcing women to prove to IRS investigators that they were assaulted is simply inhumane.
Unfortunately, H.R. 3 is just one horrendous part of a full-scale war on women. House Republicans have been churning out one vile bill after another that impinges on women’s rights, health, and the constitutionally protected right to choice. It’s clear their top priorities are not jobs and the economy.
Republicans clearly have no boundaries when it comes to attacking women’s rights. But just as when they attempted to redefine rape, we can stop them from passing this anti-choice bill and subjecting rape survivors to inhumane interrogations—if we all speak out.
Can you sign the petition today? Just click below—and share this email with your friends, family, and social networks today.

Oh yeah…I’m a pilates breather from way back, my tummy expands and my rib cage can go pretty wide, too. I do this practice on and off all day long. YOu can still develop tight tummy muscles, the two,, proper breathing and tight abs, are not mutually exclusive. That kind of breathing comes in handy when things start going sideways on you also : ) which happens in life ocassionally (or regularly) and it is my key to staying – Zen Lill.
Misch, I get what you mean, maybe I’ll take a peek at the actual transcript.
I do think in traumatic situations people get swept away emotionally and otherwise, with all that goes into an ordeal, and forget to thank the point of origin people sometimes. You know, I just wrote a few sentences about a woman I saved once, then I deleted it bc…well, it’s mine and it’s personal to me and it’s not been told before, only the attendees know from my end of the encounter. I just don’t see how I coudl’ve ever done otherwise so no thank you was not really necessary (and I didn’t get one). I say that now bc perhaps acknowledgement and thank you’s are nice and the ‘right thing to do’ then again…sometimes it’s just not a requirement bc I see now by what I wrote ‘I don’t see how I could’ve done otherwise’ is the key.
The woman in question spent some time getting life back together, I was not a priority or on the radar of things to think about, I’m not her close peeps…and ahhh, you never know in life, one second you’re here and the next you can be gone and if you are in a sitch where you are saved or are the saver, well you both get a gift in that one short moment. I’m teary now bc I know this woman asks after me just as I ask after her from time to time…
I’m going.to.work.now! Luv, Zen Lill
May 5th, 2011 at 12:26 pm
…that’s not to take away from the bravery of the Egyptian women that saved LL’s life.at.all. or the thank you they could’ve recd, I reperat, at all. Please don’t get me wrong this time…I think it was an awesome act. I say this bc so often I’ve been taken out of context so I want that to be very clear. – ZL

Most times the democrats are too weak to stand hard against the destructive propaganda of the republican party.
That was the case again when Obama’s CIA director hem and hawed about whether water boarding provided the lead to bin Laden’s courier. A simple, “No, it did not.”
That would have ended the republican propaganda to justify water boarding. But the gutless Panetta couldn’t bring himself to say that because it would further encourage the people who prosecute war criminals to look at bush, cheney and others in the US who participated and ordered prisoners to be water boarded.
His fear of the Hague coming after a once sitting President and vice president of the US prevented him from totally denouncing water boarding for what it is, an illegal form of torture.
But for those of you actually interested in the debate, here is a transcript of a conversation concerning the attainment of the name of Osama’s courier.
=============================
One man became a particular interest for the agency when another detainee, Abu Faraj al-Libi, told interrogators that when he was promoted to succeed Mohammed as al-Qaida’s operational leader he received the word through a courier. Only bin Laden would have given al-Libi that promotion, CIA officials believed.
If they could find that courier, they’d find bin Laden.
The revelation that intelligence gleaned from the CIA’s so-called black sites helped kill bin Laden was seen as vindication for many intelligence officials who have been repeatedly investigated and criticized for their involvement in a program that involved the harshest interrogation methods in U.S. history.
“We got beat up for it, but those efforts led to this great day,” said Marty Martin, a retired CIA officer who for years led the hunt for bin Laden.
Mohammed did not reveal the names while being subjected to the simulated drowning technique known as waterboarding, former officials said. He identified them many months later under standard interrogation, they said, leaving it once again up for debate as to whether the harsh technique was a valuable tool or an unnecessarily violent tactic.
===========================
I think the question was answered clearly without any ambiguity. “Mohammed did not reveal the names while being subjected to the simulated drowning technique known as waterboarding, former officials said. He identified them many months later under standard interrogation,” —-What part of that is not clear?
The insertion of the additional remarks by a republican still trying to alibi water boarding that “leaving it once again up for debate as to whether the harsh technique was a valuable tool or an unnecessarily violent tactic.” is but another blatant try to confuse the reader.
There is nothing to debate. “”Mohammed did not reveal the names while being subjected to the simulated drowning technique known as waterboarding, former officials said. He identified them many months later under standard interrogation,” —— I understand that statement. It needs no further clarification by someone trying to make me believe something other than what was said.
The republicans continue to lie in the face of facts that say they are lying. I hope the Hague comes after bush and the rest of that administration that advocated and authorized torture under the name of the US government.

Just because you understand the mechanics of how something works doesn’t make it any less of a miracle. Which is just another word for magic.
That’s what she was to me MAGIC. She had two hearts. I felt each one beat differently as I sucked her breasts, one after the other.
She would smile and say, do you love me Igie? I hated that name, but when she called me Igie, by heart stopped for a second and breathing hurt. It hurt so good that I new I would never know love like this ever, again, if she left me.
That was what love was like for the female alien I was seduced by. We spent 21 years together, then she said one evening. I have to go Ignacio. Never had the sound of my name sounded so terrible!
I asked to take me with her. She said your body is not built for deep space travel. She said “I love you Igie, I truly love you.” I stopped her and said then don’t go.
She smiled and said “I am a soldier. I follow orders. You were an unexpected wonderful surprise. I have had thousands of experiences, you were my first love.”
She held me weeped and pulled away. Then she said “if I can come back I will, but don’t wait on me be happy. I left you something to extend your years.”
That was 71 years ago. I still look about 35, the age I was when she left me. All my peers have passed. I faked my death and moved to the States. Now I wait for her to return.
This blog came to me from a friend I told about my one true love. I like it. Who knows maybe Jessica will read this.
I did as you suggested. I made a life for myself. But no woman could replace you. My children were merely a distraction that didn’t last. Please come back. What’s the use of longevity without you.

Michelle, I’a a preacher. I have often said that there is a purpose for everything that God creates. Since I have been reading your blog. The being claiming to be god on your blog says that purpose is for the entertainment of your three gods.
Carr if you truly believe you are God, then you will have Jesus to answer to when your time comes. However, long you may live Jesus will be waiting for you.
