Okay, so we’ve learned a proper breathing technique for deep relaxation. We’ve also learned a quick panting breath for those times when you want a quick pick-me-up!
Today we’re going to learn a breathing technique that you can use to stay alert, detoxify your body, ease your anxiety, bring everything in balance, and get you ready for a productive day!
Did you know that your nose has direct oxygen routes to your brain? And that at any given time, you are actually favouring one nostril over the other? That’s why this alternate nostril breathe works to balance you… you are suddenly getting ample amounts of oxygen to both sides of the brain!
Watch the video to find out how to do it!
Note: Please don’t actually hold your breath for five minutes. That was a slip of the tongue 😉
I hope you’re not sick of breathing videos yet. Don’t worry – we’re moving on. Next up…. should you use coconut oil on your face??

Awesome, this actually really does work. Thanks Tracy. 🙂
oh, on a side note I was going to let you know that I have been using sea salt and honey as a facemask in the evenings to try and beat this new breakout I have due to stress (I didn’t want to reach for the benzoyl peroxide, as tempted as I am) and it is working great! I am shocked. so hoping it keeps going well. Thought you would understand my happiness over it lol.

I’ve actually been experimenting with my face routine a bit lately too… making lots of honey masks and the sort… I bought manuka honey recently and have been experimenting with that… and honestly, it’s going great – it works so well to heal acne quickly, and take the redness out fast. I’m gonna do a post about it soon!
