I've become increasingly aware of how just focusing on our breath, paying attention to it as it enters and exits our bodies, even without trying to change anything, can have a significant and almost immediate positive affect on us, helping us connect with our bodies in a more holistic way. That's a huge focus of my current mind/body Margaret Schindelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18159345369223670796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-17071471021356413212020-11-21T13:14:32.950-06:002020-11-21T13:14:32.950-06:00Thank you, Mary Beth.

For example, I pay close attention to ensure I am nosebreathing (even when winded during exercise). I'm going to try some of that alternate nostril breathing. I don't see myself doing any extreme breathing exercises, but I do like the one that involves humming. I can imagine you doing that one.Renaissance Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04042573630039646414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1874262419752354657.post-67389696319285349902020-11-19T13:15:24.611-06:002020-11-19T13:15:24.611-06:00This sounds like a must-read book for sure!

I had no idea the different effects of left & right nostril breathing. Thank you for this review and recommendation.

The more we know, the better prepared we will be when we need our bodies to perform at their very best.
