Sometimes when life gets stressful and busy we forget the most important thing to do and that is to BREATHE. Over the past week my life had gotten pretty hectic. My daughter was sick for the first time and being a first time parent I was so worried about her. It turned out to a common virus that many children under two catch called Roseola. Roseola causes high fever in children under the age of two for five days and on the fifth day they break out in a rash. So after doctors and ER visits we finally figured out what it was.
During this stressful week I had to constantly telling myself, "Sara, don't forget to breathe". Sounds silly, doesn't it? Well, it's not. Breathing provides the oxygen that our mind and body need to function optimally. Without, oxygen we allow more carbon dioxide and other toxins to invade our bloodstream which promote fatigue and decreased concentration/alertness. This can cause us to make poor decisions. At this time when I am making decisions for my little girl, the last thing I needed was lack of focus.
Here is a simple breathing exercises that I use and that I often teach my patients:
Lie on your back and place one hand just above your belly button and the other hand on your chest.
Take a deep breath in through your nose and focus on your bottom hand that is just above your belly button rising as you fully breathe in. Your top hand should only move slightly at the top of the breathe; it should not be the first and only hand to move while taking in your breathe.
Breathe in 1...2...3.
Then exhale through your mouth as if you are trying to fog a mirror feeling your bottom slowly lower (moving towards your spine/back).
Initially, you can perform this exercise for 5 minutes and then try to increase your time. Eventually, you will breathe like this without having to think about it.
Good luck and DON'T FORGET TO BREATHE. =0)

I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes,Shingles, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid,Parkinson's,Alzheimer’s disease,Bechet’s disease,Crohn’s disease,Cushing’s disease,Heart failure,Multiple Sclerosis,HypertensionFatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Autism,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone ToxicitySyndrome Fibrodysplasia Ossificans ProgresSclerosis,Seizures,Adrenocortical carcinoma.Asthma,Allergic diseases,,Copd,Glaucoma., Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Lung disease.Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis.
