Good 🌞Morning Beautiful Soul, let your light SHINE💫

Now that we’ve crossed the threshold of the equinox, we find ourselves in the paradox of autumn. A season of increased darkness & release, an opportunity to pause, reflect & choose what to let go of & what to gather that will nourish & rejuvenate mind, body & spirit through the next season of our life.

Breath *Movement *Cleanse
We get 3 things from Mother Nature.The further we get away from these 3 🔽 things
✅oxygen from the air;
✅Magnetism from the earth;
✅Light from the Sun,
the less healthy we become:

October is the perfect month to focus on all 3 -starting with BREATH:
✅oxygen from the air
The # of breaths you take per minute can tell you everything about your mental clarity, memory, focus, sense of peace & safety. All being influenced by your nervous system

🫁20-breaths per min =
Constant stress, overthinking, fatigue, sympathetic overdrive
mouth breathing, breath holding

🫁15- breaths per min= still running high tension, shallow chest throat breath

🫁10-8 breaths per min=
🎈nasal inhale/exhale, belly & diaphragm
🧠Nervous system balanced
🙂Focused & calm
💗Regulated energy for daily life

🫁6-breaths per min=
🧠Nervous system in full rest
💗Heart -brain coherence

Most people breathe 15-20 times per minute & unconsciously hold their breath when exerting the body or feeling anxious. The slower & deeper you breathe the calmer, less anxious, more focused & confident you will feel

BREATH IS A SUPER POWER
✅Count your breaths
✅Practice Dropping 🔽 the # of breaths you take per minute…
Simply Breathe In…..Breathe Out

Good morning beautiful soul, Let your light SHINE💫

MAKE YOUR MORNING WORK FOR YOU ~NOT AGAINST YOU

Before I retired from a high pressure, stressful career I developed a high blood pressure reading. I’m grateful to my holistic acupuncturist ( that’s you Diane😄) who taught me 4 things I refer to as my morning “Rise & Shine🤩

Your blood pressure is the most vulnerable in the first hour after you wake up - it’s called the morning blood pressure surge when your pressure spikes as your body wakes up. This blood pressure surge is exaggerated even more by seemingly
innocent morning routines

Here’s 4 things that makes your morning routine your greatest tool:

#1✅ Water BEFORE everything else.
Before coffee, before supplements or meds. 16 oz warm or cold with a slice of lemon. Your body has gone hours during sleep without hydration. The blood is thicker than it should be~vessels need fluid to stay pliable & your kidneys need water to begin processing waste

#2✅ NO PHONE for 20 minutes after you wake up. The moment you reach for your phone your brain reaches reactive state. Every notification triggers a little bit more cortisol ~ elevating your heart rate- restricting vessels & signaling the kidneys to hold on to sodium

#3✅ MORNING SUNLIGHT🌅🌞
Walk outside 10-15 minutes. Sunlight on the skin triggers Nitric Oxide releasing a module that opens your blood vessels & reduces blood pressure. Sunlight on your skin also creates natural vitamin D production. Vitamin D deficiency is directly linked to high blood pressure

#4✅ THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE
🔻🔻🔻🔻🔻
DEEP BELLY BREATHING🫁
Sit down, place both feet on the floor and take a slow inhale through your nose~ let your belly fill up with your breath, hold for a count of 3, then slowly exhale for a count of 6 through your nose . Breathing through the nose creates Nitric Oxide, the module that relaxes blood vessels. Do this nasal breath at least 10 times to activate the parasympathetic nervous system & feel your heart rate slow down & your body relax, your thoughts calm🧘🏼‍♀️

It’s not Abracadabra 🪄🧟‍♂️
It’s Physicology👍
