The Basic Breathing Meditation

How we breathe on a particular state of being is very important. Normally, our breathing is automatic which we don't mind thinking of how we should breathe on certain circumstances. Like any other activity that require techniques to be able to achieve, breathing has it too. And this has been what I do whenever I caught myself under a stressful situation.

Deep breathing is known to us. This is infact what we always tell to someone who come to us in a panic state, to take a deep breathe, and is actually helpful. But aside from this, I have learned to apply the breathing meditation which has given me a more relaxing feeling even if I am in the middle of a busy day. It's just the basic and the easiest breathing meditation that I used to do during times of uncertainties. What I do is to listen to my breathing coming in and out. And while doing this I will think of  the unpleasant things happened in my life and visualized it as black ashes inside my body taking them out upon exhalation, and inhaling, visualizing white and clear ashes in. The clear ashes signifies clean air in exchange to the black. Then repeating this process until I feel relaxed and ease. Takes only 5 minutes or more, depending on how quick your body will respond to it and how your mind can be able to concentrate in your visualization. Just try it.

The Secrets Of Tarahumara Running

Running is proven to be one of the most outdoor exercises that increases life span of the people. This is because the effect of fresh air you breathe and the green trees you see while you run can make you feel good. And feeling good makes you healthy. There are those who run not because they wanted to lose extra weight but because running has became part of their lives. There is also something mystery in running because once you are able to run long distances, the more you look forward to run over and over again. However, before you decide to start running, and have not ran before, start with walking first until your body will tell you that you are ready to run. Find your pace to prolong endurance. And apply the light/heavy running method. Meaning, you run for short distance today and long distance the following day. This way, you're not putting so much pressure in your body. How often should we run in a week will depend on how quick your body will recover from the intensity that you've made in running.  Personally, I run 4 times a week on a light/heavy method.

Running shoes is the most important thing to consider in running. Because every person's feet has different structure which will determine the kind of shoe you should wear. There are those whose feet that have the tendency to overly pronate and supinate, that if you don't have the right shoe on will cause more injury to your body, particularly to your feet. Aside from the right pace and right shoes, running with correct posture and breathing should also be applied, so there's no reason for you not to gain that long endurance. But speaking of endurance, you will wonder why are there people whose energy is unbelievable that even elite runners are unable to beat them when it comes to running more than a hundred miles. And this is the tarahumara running...
