Deep Nasal Breathing
Materials:
Just you
Method:
Lips sealed, and very important, 'smile’. It can naturally lift your tongue up to the palate, lift your soft palate, very important the tongue is entirely in the palate to open the airway for maximum intake. Whole tongue including base of the tongue, not only the tip.
Take a breath in through the nose and out
Standing: now have your feet about shoulder width apart, roll shoulders back to relax and release, and let only your nose work for the breath intake - deep low and expand
feel the expansion of your body going down deep to the tips of your toes and fingers
Lying down: no pillow, flat on the floor, legs flat also, arms slightly out, palms up and do the same nasal breathing as the standing method
do this before sleeping, as soon as you wake up in the morning.
-
Nasal Walking
Materials:
A good pair of comfortable shoes
Method:
Start the Deep Nasal Breathing
Continue this breathing while walking, lips sealed, nasal breathing only
Feel your posture straighten and become aware of where your body structure prefers to be
1hr walk if possible
-
100 Chews
Materials:
Your last meal for the day
Method:
Prepare a easily digestible plant-based meal with limited liquids.
Take the first bite of your meal after praying, and begin to chew with lips sealed.
Chew as you count to ten, 10 times.
Do your best to allow the food to stay within the mouth without swallowing large pieces too soon.
Don’t be hasty, enjoy the exercise.

Distance Radiation
Materials:
A place to put your wireless electronic devices, far away from your bed
Analogue clock for alarm

Kneel To Pray
Materials:
Floor for kneeling
Method:
Kneel on the floor.
Feel and realize our humble state, how beaten up we get from living this world, and how we need our Saviour to give us life and rejuvenation.
You can pray in any other position, but there is something about that kneeling, that just takes away the tension mental emotionally and physically.
