Environment – Within and around us.

You & Your Environments-Healthy Promoting Ideas

Much of your  environment is comprised of the air you breathe, your house, your work place, the products you put on your body, the water you use to shower, cook, and drink, and the world in which we live.

The World Health Organization describes our environment as “aspects of the human health and disease that are determined by factors in the environment.”

Look at the areas of your personal environment that you can control and choose healthy choices for your own health promotion.

Choose these daily, and the will become a new, natural part of your environment.

Some of these choices are obvious: others are a bit more hidden, so to examine a few of the areas one should look at the foods and liquids ingested on a daily basis.

Organic and local foods give you the chance to know what types of chemicals or pesticides are used in their production, of course it’s best if you know the farmer or start a garden where you are able to grow some of your own foods.

Drinking water throughout your day is a simple way to implement healthy lifestyle practices. Using filters for drinking water promotes quality liquid to keep hydrated and healthy.

Body care products and their contents can either help or cause damage to skin and health. By reading the labels and choosing only those that contain natural ingredients, and not the heavy preservatives that are common in some commercial products, you are making a wise health decision.

A Natural Tranquilizer – Breath

Calming the nervous system naturally!

Taking a few deep breaths in and slowly allowing the air to expel is a natural way to calm the nervous system. The process of breathing can allow stress to be relieved and emphasize the connection of mind, body, and spirit to the universal life force energy; balance and harmony are then more easily acquired.  By using this technique several times throughout your day it can become an easy part of your healing process, promoting calm interludes throughout the day. 

              Uniting Healing & Breathing to bring Peace in your Day!

Perhaps not surprisingly, holistic breathing practices are part of the ancient wisdom of one’s spiritual connections to the healing process itself, as well as the connections of mind, body, spirit, and the environment.  The word ‘spirit’ comes from the Latin word: spiritius,” it means breath, and healing, and is understood to be available as a way to unite healing and breathing.

You promote healing by learning the many natural holistic techniques that are available.

Increasing awareness of your  connection to breathing and spirituality (or universal energy), and learning to use the lungs and muscles more efficiently, there is further assistance  in your  healing journey.

The rhythmic flow of air brings in the Universal Chi allowing for a quiet healing response to assist the mind, body, and spirit connection. The familiar breathing pattern, which consists of quick short breaths in and out especially when stressed, causes physical tension and then breathing is used improperly. This prevents the balance of nourishing and  life-enhancing movement of oxygen into cells.

Many people need to re-learn the breathing process of infancy by filling the abdomen with air, holding for a second, and then producing a slow, long exhale to allow […]
