Our Lady of the Deep Cleansing Breath

Breathe-in experience, breathe-out poetry.

Breathe Deep

FATOID

Each one of your cells contains as much information as the world's largest library, which consists of
over 10 million volumes of books.
You're smarter than you think!

Our weight depends on a complicated blend of variables – from how much we move (exercise),
to what we eat, how much we eat, how we feel about ourselves, to hereditary factors.
Our weight is even linked to how we breathe.

Breathing can:

Affect our metabolism.
Affect the quantity of food we ingest.
Make us feel better mentally, physically & emotionally.

Calm us.
Release endorphins, which help us to feel happy.

Enhance our appearance.
Make us feel instantly stronger and thinner.
Revitalize and energize every cell in our bodies.
Increase our energy level.

All of this can aid our weight loss effort. Healthy breathing helps us maintain the right balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in our cells, which has a favorable impact on our metabolism.

Jon Kabat-Zinn, University of Massachusetts Memorial Health Care Center, says “Every breath, actually, is a release not only of air, but all the pent-up energy in the body. Every in-breath can be restoration or revitalization, and every out-breath a letting-go of anxiety or anger or tension or irritability.”

Instead of stuffing down your feelings with food, breathe.

It’s natural. It’s free. And it’s easy.

Dr. Andrew Weil says, “In many languages the words for breath and spirit are one in the same.”

That's right, Benjamin Franklin! Congrats to Sonny, Providence, RI.

Chewing the Fat

How you doin'? Write Our Lady.

Dear OLofWL, I was in yoga class and the teacher said "You are creating your body" and I had a little epiphany as I breathed and stretched in the asana - yes as I move I am creating my body. What a motivation for exercise and such a powerful thought. ~ Lightspirit, SC

Dear Lightspirit, Yes, what a powerful thought! And conversely, when we are not moving, we are creating our body as well - in the negative. Thanks for the inspiration! ~ OLofWL
