"Breathing is the greatest pleasure in life"

We humans are very resilient when having to do without eating or drinking...

as miracle stories of earthquake victims confirm...

from 3 days to 3 weeks.

The majority of us, however, would not survive 3 minutes without breathing...

yet, because we take it for granted, few of us ever breathe effectively.

And in so doing we literally impede our creative thinking, our energy and our motivation.

The key is to understand that by taking a little time each day to breathe deeply...

we improve our circulation by 15 times...

And reduce our levels of impatience, stress and frustration by as much as 50%.

When you breathe in through your nose for a count of 6 and hold it for a count of 6 and then breathe slowly out for a count of 12 you literally feel tension dissipate...

and feel more relaxed with more energy.

Try it as you return to work this week, and you may discover that it is your greatest pleasure.
