Did you know …
- One of the major secrets of vitality and rejuvenation is a purified blood stream. The quickest and most effective way to purify the blood stream is by taking in extra supplies of oxygen from the air we breathe. Deep breathing exercises are the most effective methods ever devised for saturating the blood with extra oxygen.
Oxygen burns up the waste products (toxins) in the body, as well as recharging the body’s batteries (the solar plexus). In fact, most of our energy requirements come not from food but from the air we breathe. By purifying the blood stream, every part of the body benefits, as well as the mind. Your complexion will become clearer and brighter and wrinkles will begin to fade away. In short, rejuvenation will start to occur. ~ The Importance of Breathing
- Setting an intention for the day means that an individual is attempting to proactively think of the day s/he wishes to have. This is beneficial both from a personal and professional perspective because hopes and expectations are articulated. This can be done mentally or even better still in a journal. In this case, the individual will have psychologically set the scene for the day meaning thus proactively navigating through the day both consciously and subconsciously. ~ The Power of Intention
