Easiest Exercise - Conscious Breathing

Breathing Consciously is the easiest form of exercise.

Alive people breathe 24 hours a day.

You would wonder what is conscious breathing?

Conscious breathing means being aware that we are breathing.

In conscious breathing, we are aware - when we inhale, when we stop, when we exhale, when we stop and again when we inhale, on and on.....

Try conscious breathing for a week.

It may be difficult initially, you will start enjoying it.

Breathe...Inhale....Exhale...Bliss

What to do if you are unable to sleep ?

When you go to bed to sleep and are unable to sleep, you wait for sleep to come. Change your sides, but unfortunately sometimes you are unable to sleep.

There can be various reasons for not being able to sleep. May be you are under stress or you have some tension, or you slept much during the day. Some times even though you are feeling sleepy, but are unable to sleep.

Instead of just lying on the bed, do the following:

1. Sit and rub your feet, give massage to your feet including sole's for 5 minutes each.

2. Massage both your calf's for 5 minutes each.

3. Rub your palm and massage your wrist upto elbow for 5 minutes each.

4. Massage you hand and feet, toes and fingers.

5. Sit. Keep your spine straight. Fold your hands and touch your shoulder's with your palm fingers and rotate your arms from your shoulder for 10 times.

6. Straighten your hands, close your palm with thumb inside your palm, touch both your closed palms together and rotate your palms.

7. Straighten your legs, keep them together and rotate your feet’s, both together ten times clockwise, ten times anti clockwise.

8. Lie down on your stomach, put your palms besides your shoulders, raise your chest and shoulders, bring them down. Do this for 5 times.
