A 5-step Breathing Exercise to Better Health, More Energy & Longer Life!

Just a few minutes a day of this simple breathing exercise will bring you better health, more energy and longer life!

We all know that the human body can go more than a month without food and several days without water… but how long can we survive without air? Without oxygen, we’d be brain-dead within minutes! Yet most of us take our breathing for granted.

Did you know that the brain uses more than three quarters of the oxygen taken in? Without efficient respiration, the human body becomes oxygen-starved: we become sluggish, unable to concentrate, easily fatigued, and slow to react.

But we can change that by simply improving our respiration. Just five to ten minutes practice of this qigong/Chi Kung diaphragmatic breathing exercise will do wonders for your mind and body. Here’s how:

1. Assume a comfortable position, sitting or lying down, or even standing up.
2. Make sure your back is straight, not ramrod rigid, but straight in a relaxed way: Your shoulders should not be tense but slightly slumped forward, with your chest slightly caved in. Likewise, your chin shouldn’t be thrust forward; instead it should be drawn slightly inward, so that your head is aligned with the rest of your spine.
3. Inhale fully by pulling down the diaphragm muscle that sits just below the rib cage. This will allow your lungs to expand to its fullest capacity.

   When you inhale, breathe in slowly and evenly through the nose, visualizing filling your abdomen full of air, as you expand your abdomen outward.

   Sometimes it helps to lie down and put a book on your stomach for visual feedback. Or, if you are sitting or standing, place your hand on your abdomen and feel it expand when you breathe in.

4. Next, pause a moment before exhaling, again slowly and evenly through your nose. As you breathe out, let your abdomen flatten out. This should be natural, not forced.
5. Pause for another moment before repeating the cycle again.

And that’s it — a simple breathing exercise that most children do automatically, and adults should always practice to extend their health and longevity. Diaphragmatic respiration is just one of many qigong (a.k.a. chi kung) breathing techniques that can bring you many health benefits:

• greater mental clarity and alertness;
• reduces stress, more relaxation
• more energy and vitality, and less fatigue
• nourishes, cleanses and detoxifies the body
• improves concentration, focus, and memory
• facilitates digestion and elimination
• better organ function, cardiovascular functions
• strengthens immune system
• better circulation
• aids in cell repair and regeneration
• improves overall health and well-being
• promotes anti-aging and longevity

Other breathing techniques can also help with weight reduction, faster reflexes, sleep reduction, pain management, treatments of particular diseases and disorders, such as hypertension, asthma and bronchitis, migraines, heart conditions… and much more.

Feel a headache coming? Just take five minutes to breathe it away! Your headache will begin to diminish in just a few minutes of practicing the 5-step breathing exercise just outlined.

Headaches are usually caused by too much tension. Arteries and capillaries carrying oxygenated blood become constricted and the oxygen-starved brain signals with a headache. When you practice qigong yogic breathing techniques you signal to the brain that it’s time to relax and increase circulation, thereby increasing your oxygen intake.

Short on energy? Easily fatigued or sluggish? Now you can increase your work efficiency in just five minutes of qigong, right at your seat of work. Literally, just take a breather, and you’ll be well rested and ready to work at your fullest capacity in no time!

If you are new to qigong and not accustomed to deep respiration, you may find that your diaphragm and abdominal muscles may feel sore at first. That’s because the muscles are not accustomed to the exercise.

Keep your practice brief, no longer than a few minutes at a time. Then gradually increase until it becomes natural and unconscious.

Try it. This breathing exercise is only one of many literally life-giving breathing techniques practiced in Qigong Meditation — rich in oxygen, rich in life.

Lose Belly Fat Fast – Your Ultimate Guide

If you are trying to lose belly fat fast, then this is the right article for you.  The most important thing when wanting to lose belly fat fast is to always remember the two most important factors to keep in mind – exercise and anti-stress strategies.

Exercise is a very important factor if you want to lose that belly fat quickly.  What you should always keep in mind when exercising to lose belly fat is to include whole body exercises in your workout routine, not just those that target the belly.  These exercises can include 30 minute aerobic sessions which can really get your heart rate up so you can burn more fat.  When doing aerobic exercises, try doing them three to five times a week.  Aside from aerobics, also try yoga or Pilates to build more muscles and increase your metabolism. When your metabolic rate rises, it will be much easier to burn those fats.  

Another habit you will want to get used to is holding your stomach muscles in or contracting them whenever you can.  This helps strengthen your abdominals and will result in a flatter stomach.  Take time during the day so you can do some stretching exercises.  During work, take small breaks so you can do back bending exercises which will help stretch your stomach muscles so that they do not become shortened.  When sitting, sit up straight and continue to contract or pull your stomach muscles in.  This also helps in strengthening your abdominal muscles to help develop a flatter stomach.

Aside from exercise, anti-stress strategies are also a very important factor to help lose belly fat fast.  Our body produces a hormone called cortisol which is responsible for regulating the body’s metabolism and blood pressure.  If you have hit high stress levels in your life, your cortisol levels also go very high which will in turn keep your appetite stimulated and your glucose levels high.  The excess glucose produced will eventually be turned into fat.  This is why you will want to lower your cortisol levels by avoiding stress in your life so that you will not gain any more belly fat.

To neutralize your stress levels, try doing relaxation techniques.  This is best done by getting enough sleep.  Getting enough sleep will give you enough energy for the day so that you will not feel exhausted or tired during the rest of your work hours.  Take breaks to de-stress.  The advisable number of times to take a de-stressing break is once every 3 hours.  During this break, you can take a 5 minute walk, or a short nap, or even do some yoga exercises.  Yoga is a very helpful exercise to de-stress.  Try also Pilates, Tai Chi, and Qigong which you can do for about three times a week.  Other calming and relaxing techniques you can use is meditation and listening to calming guidance CDs.  This can be done for about 10 to 15 minutes once or twice a day, once in the morning to set the tone for the rest of your day, and once in the afternoon or evening to calm and relax you after a tiring day at work.

Staying Young and Healthy With Qigong

We all know the importance of incorporating physical activity into our daily lives, however a large percent of the population over looks this fact. When exercise or physical activity is mentioned most of us instantly have visions of running endless miles or lifting weights in the gym. There are many options out there that are considered very effective especially if you are looking to improve or maintain your health.

As middle age approaches and passes the focus of physical activity is no longer about fitting into a bikini or having the biggest bulging muscles but is instead about living a longer quality life. If this is indeed your focus you may want to look at trying Qigong (Chi Gong). This ancient Chinese practice consists of a series of body movements with the focus on breathing.

The History Of Qigong is rich and has been controversial. Qigong is an ancient Chinese health care system however it is also considered by many to be to a spiritual movement. Three basic classifications of Qigong have emerged which include the martial, medical, and spiritual styles. In the west however Qigong has become very popular as an exercise alternative that provides tremendous overall health benefits.

In Chinese the word Qigong (Chi Gong) breaks down into two words the first is Qi which means life energy, vital energy, or life force. The second word is Gong which means accomplishing a skill through daily or steady effort and practice. The premise is that we are all born with Chi and by using our Chi we can gain health benefits that impact us mentally, spiritually and physically. Qigong not only calms the spirit and the mind there by reducing stress but has been shown to strengthen the immune system, strengthen and improve balance and posture, increase vitality, reduce hypertension, and build overall stamina. A committed practice of Qigong also improves the function of the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, the circulatory system, the digestive system, and the lymphatic system, all of which are extremely important to aging well and living a better quality life.

Qigong is generally divided into two basic types “soft” Qigong (ie. Tai Chi) for the overall health of body, mind and spirit, and “hard” Qigong (ie. Martial Arts) for concentration, discipline and strength training. Many forms or styles can easily be done by all ages and physical abilities including those individuals that are physically challenged. Regardless of which type you choose Qigong is an attractive activity as it allows you to exercise right in your own home if this is desired and benefits can be achieved in as little as 20 minutes a day.

Classes are widely available if a group setting is desirable or if you wish to stay at home in a private setting many books and DVD’s are available to help you get started. Remember that Qigong takes practice and commitment with the focus on proper breathing techniques, specific postures and mental focus. Incorporating Qigong into your lifestyle will bring you many added benefits that most exercise routines can not offer. Qigong will help you cultivate a positive outlook on life and help you to release negative attitudes and behaviors by bringing balance to your life by promoting harmony, stability and enjoyment.

The Holistic Approach to Health Care

It is estimated that over 47 million people in the U.S. alone are living without health insurance. Ironically, those who do have healthcare coverage are often paralyzed by the exorbitant and prohibitive out of pocket expenses they are often required to cover themselves. Now more than ever, scores of people around the world are searching for alternatives to traditional medical care but it’s not only for financial reasons. Holism offers a wealth of options for people who believe that true health must include both a healthy body and a healthy mind. The goal of holistic health care is to incorporate wellness into the whole being, not just the body.

Keeping the Mind, Body & Spirit in Sync

Until recent years, the holistic approach was largely dismissed by mainstream society as nothing but a fad. Acknowledging the ineffectiveness of traditional medicine to completely deal with modern stressors and other health problems, holistic practitioners are now being sought out in record numbers. Holism incorporates a variety of healing practices than span many belief systems and centuries of wisdom from cultures around the globe. Aspects of Native American, Buddhist, Shamanistic and Kabbalistic healing as well as a wealth of other practices have proven to yield impressive results at a fraction of the cost of traditional medical treatments. The notable difference between the holistic approach and the more conventional methods is the focus on overall well being of the patient. In other words, when the mind, body and spirit of an individual are in sync, the health of the person – the whole being – will follow suit.

Finding the Perfect Holistic Solution

While there are thousands of holistic practitioners worldwide, it can be difficult, not to mention cost prohibitive to find one in or near your area. If you do find one in your chosen specialty, what assurance do you have that they are experienced enough to warrant your time and money? For that matter, how do you know if they are experienced at all and not just a scam artist trying to take advantage of your situation? You could talk to them, ask for references from past clients or read reviews, but thankfully now there is a much easier and lower cost way to find experts in any of several fields of holistic medicine and with this method, the experts join you in the privacy of your own home.

Benefits of Using DVD’s for Holistic Care

The Center for Healing Arts has found a cost effective way to meet the global community’s ever increasing demand for alternative therapies. It offers unprecedented access to spiritual teachers and healers in a wide range of healing arts specialties, carefully selected for their vast experience in their field of work through its DVD subscription series. When you register, you will receive a new full-length DVD session every other month to guide and direct you toward complete wellness of mind, body and spirit. Each session is recorded in such a way as to mimic a one-on-one personal session with your instructor.

One of the biggest benefits to a subscription program such as this is that you have the unique opportunity to learn and heal yourself in a comfortable and private setting, but that can present its own set of challenges as well. When people attend a seminar or retreat, they have the support of others who share their need and desire to better themselves for one reason or another. Because continued and ongoing support is often an important part of the healing process, The Center for Healing Arts has created an online support community. Within this forum, healers and seekers alike can come together to support each other and share their successes as well as their obstacles, all in a safe and nurturing environment of like-minded people.

The holistic approach to health care isn’t for everyone, but if you are “sick and tired of being sick and tired”, you owe it to yourself to find out what holism can do for you

Qigong And Hypertension

Qigong, the ancient Chinese practice of harnessing Qi (vital energy), is receiving a lot of attention as a major part of traditional Chinese medicine. Medical Qigong has been practiced for centuries to promote health, healing, self-defense, longevity, and spiritual development. One of the goals of practitioners is to master tension and relaxation. Chinese doctors prescribe certain forms of Qigong to patients, depending on their diagnosis. According to them, many illnesses are cause by a disrupted flow of energy through the meridians. Meridians are channels that allow energy to flow through the body. The Qigong Techniques provide a balance of energy in the patients’ body in an effort to return them to good health. Chinese medicine attributes great importance to the homeostasis of energy in the body.

Qigong consists of three different methods. These methods are movement-oriented Qigong, meditation-oriented Qigong, and breath oriented Qigong. Abdominal breathing is a vital part of Qigong. This deep breathing allows for more oxygen intake per breath. In Qigong as well as yoga, deep breathing also serves as a hypnotic tool. By focusing on the breath, one can truly relax and pay full attention to the body. During these semi-meditative states, metabolic, autonomic, endocrine, neurological, and psychological changes can be noted.

Doctors tend to prescribe drugs for hypertension. Hypertension is another word for high blood pressure, and is a very common problem in our society. Essential hypertension is one form of high blood pressure that has no detectable cause, and is treated as soon as possible to prevent cardiovascular disease. The use of antihypertensive drugs does have side effects, suggesting that an alternative form of prevention may be better in the long run. Due to the side effects of antihypertensive drugs, there is a growing interest in nonpharmaceutical procedures to treat and prevent hypertension.

Qigong has effects on blood pressure in mildly hypertensive subjects. Qigong Practice could lower the blood pressure. Many studies show that after Qigong Training, blood pressure decreased in those practicing Qigong, and did not decrease in the control group. Many hypertensive patients have proclaimed that receiving Qi auspiciously affects heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol, and other important bodily functions that determine ones health.

A decreased level of urinary catecholamines is indicative of a lower level of sympathetic nervous system activity. Catecholamines play important physiological roles as hormones and neurotransmitters such as epinephrine and dopamine. Blood pressure is directly related to sympathetic neurological activity. The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the “fight or flight” response we have when faced with a stressful situation. Therefore, Qigong is thought to lower blood pressure by affecting sympathetic nervous system activity.

Qigong can be an extremely beneficial martial art for those looking to improve their health. Through relaxation and stabilization of sympathetic nervous system activity, Qigong can help treat and protect against mild essential hypertension. Along with lower sympathetic nervous system activity comes a lower level of overall stress. With a lower level of stress comes a lower level of Cortisol, a hormone that regulates our metabolism of carbohydrates. High levels of Cortisol are known to cause weight gain, persistent fatigue, raise blood sugar levels, and more.
