Breathe Right

Practice Breath Awareness
Tune into your breathing. This is called mindfulness training. Is your breathing fast or slow? Deep or shallow? Smooth or irregular? Focus your attention on the feelings and sensations of the breath as it comes and goes. Where do you feel those sensations? What moves when you breathe? What muscles do you use? Begin to observe your breathing from time to time though the day, especially when you feel anxious or stressed.
Practice Breathing Low And Slow
Learn diaphragmatic breathing and get comfortable with a rate of four to eight breaths per minute. This is called the “therapeutic zone.” You may want to aim for six breaths a minute to start, and then adjust your pace as needed or able. Breathe in through your nose and out through pursed lips, or make a “shushing” sound.
Lean Into Your Exhale And Turn The Pause After The Exhale Into A Comfort Zone
This means lengthening or extending your exhale. Slow the exhale down, and don’t rush into the next inhale. Breathe in gently, breathe out slowly, and then linger for a time in a state of quiet stillness before breathing in again. Practice this three times a day for at least 5 minutes.
Yawn And Sigh
If you feel anxious or stressed, shake your body while you yawn and give yourself big sighs of relief for a minute or two. Loosen your muscles and wiggle your joints to release physical tension and blocked energy as you breathe in and out. Make pleasurable sounds.

Marriage the beautiful connect

While you’re planning your wedding, are you also  preparing for your marriage ? According to a survey  couples with premarital education reported higher levels of marital satisfaction and experienced a 30 percent decline in the likelihood of divorce over five years. As I meet plenty of single and married couples, it is clear that a lot of them do not delve deep into what takes for a marriage to work. The superficial discussions via social media and friends circle only create excitements but do not engage the couple in the deeper wisdoms.
