Practice One Minute Breathwork

Whatever your intension for meditating, some basic keys to the process is to focus on something either internally or externally. This can be a sound, an internal image, an external object or any of a wide variety of focusing devices. One of the easiest and best things to focus on is our breath itself! Since part of the process of meditation is the use of proper breathing to center and slow down the rhythm of life, it makes sense to use your breath to focus.

Proper breathwork is an art in and of itself, and awareness of our breath is another key to great meditation. To begin, simply breathe into your diaphragm, the place between your ribs and navel for greatest effect. One way to practice the technique is whenever you are at a stop sign, instead of sitting impatiently waiting for it to change, try something new. Try a one minute breath workout. Feel yourself breathe in the light and love of the universe and breathe out the toxicity of your life. This is a small step towards the beginning of a significant life change. Here are some other places to practice good breathing technique:

1. Talking on the phone
2. Brushing your teeth
3. Teeing off on the golf course
For longer sessions try:
4. Showering or soaking in the tub
5. Washing the car
6. Eating-especially when alone
7. Peeling an orange, apple or potato, etc.
8. Grooming the cat, dog, etc.
9. Washing dishes
10. Folding clothes

In the simple act of training ourselves to breathe properly and become more mindful by slowing down our sense of time passing, we can learn to monitor our moods and thoughts before they spiral downward. We can, in other words, make ourselves happier. In addition to making ourselves happier, we can promote better blood flow to the heart, the lungs and all of the extremities. Focusing mind and body ultimately leads to feeling better and when we feel better we do better work, have better relationships and make better decisions. Not a bad use of your time.

  1. I don’t know if your be aware of it or otherwise, although the sites making the actual big AdSense money normally have a following which doesn’t rely on the major search engines. Internet mavens like Chris Pirillo or Joel Comm have been getting online a while and get followings for his or her websites. Therefore they will consistently make six figures with AdSense.

  5. This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
