Vision and Breathing May Be the Secrets to Surviving 2020
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/vision-and-breathing-may-be-the-secrets-to-surviving-2020/|
We are living through an inarguably challenging time. The U.S. has been facing its highest daily COVID-19 case counts yet. Uncertainty and division continue to dog the aftermath of the presidential election. And we are heading into a long, cold winter, when socializing outdoors will be less of an option. We are a nation and a world under stress. (Cont.)

1. I am PRETTY DARN SURE that breathing is essential to survival.
I was completely unaware of how essential vision may be, however, and I appreciate your posting this article for that interesting insight.

11. Fascinating!
Meditation hasn’t worked well for me - I was trained as part of a pain control clinic. I did learn that deep breathing was helpful even if I haven’t been able to consistently achieve the "high" that releases endorphins.
I just tried the ‘look at the horizon and unfocus the eyes’ (to paraphrase) and it actually relaxed muscles! Way cool. Look forward to reading the results of their latest study about what types of breathing are most effective. Thanks for posting. |
