At least every second breath each one of us takes comes from our oceans. At least half of Earth’s oxygen comes from organisms in the ocean. ⁠ ⁠ More than half of the oxygen you breathe comes from marine plants, such as phytoplankton and seaweed, that use carbon dioxide, water, and energy from the sun to make food for themselves, releasing oxygen in the process. In other words, they photosynthesize—and they do it in the ocean. Think about that for a moment... And take a deep breath to feel that connection. We need to protect them, so we can breathe! ⁠🌊 ⁠ One way of supporting conservation is by purchasing one of these breathtaking photographs from the @vital.impacts Winter Collection by @karimiliya @brianskerry @nickcobbing @jimnaughten & @hannahmitchell_photography⁠ ⁠ Save $25 on every regularly priced open edition print from now until Wednesday, Feb. 21 with the code WINTER-SALE at vitalimpacts.org (link in profile.)⁠ 🙏❤❤ ⁠ #conservation #environmental #vitalimpacts #oceans #water #breathedeep #bliss https://www.instagram.com/p/Cow72dyOVBW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Breathing is an essential and often overlooked aspect of our well-being. In the practice of yoga, proper breathing techniques, known as pranayama, are considered fundamental for physical, mental, and spiritual health. Here are some key reasons why breathing right is important in the context of yoga science:

Oxygenation and Vitality: Correct breathing ensures optimal oxygen supply to the body, improving overall vitality and energy levels.

Stress Reduction: Conscious, controlled breathing has a direct impact on the autonomic nervous system, which regulates our stress response.

Improved Focus and Mental Clarity: Certain breathing techniques in yoga, such as alternate nostril breathing (Nadi Shodhana) or the cooling breath (Sheetali), can help balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

Emotional Balance: Breathing exercises have a profound impact on our emotions. Detoxification: The breath is also a means of eliminating toxins from the body.

Flowers are such inspiration. Breathe in the colors and the design. Let it be a sacred Mandala for your heart to open ever-deeper and expand ever-further into Love. #Livingheart #mandala #heartchakra #inspiration #breatheinbreatheout #breathedeep #lifecoachforwomen (at Living Heart Institute: Healing Events, Therapy & Counseling Services) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnls7SbuROX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Top-ups to calm yourself when feeling anxious 🙌🏼✨ - 1. Quiet time: rest or unplug 2. Deep breaths: meditate or take diaphragm breaths 3. Hugs (no need to explain that one! But pets do count) 4.

Motivation: read a self care book or daily affirmations (or my motivational quotes 😉) 7. Time in nature: ground yourself in nature (perhaps walk barefoot) and get some fresh therapeutic air into your lungs to release tension 8.

Breathe in🧘🏻‍♂️, breathe out🧘🏻‍♂️. Repeat. We all feel stressed and/or anxiety over different things. Some of us are nervous about job interviews, some are concerned about a presentation at work, and others are stressed about their future. But here's a little trick: ➡️Sit down, be still and breathe.⬅️ It's a simple, yet incredibly powerful way to refresh your mind, body and soul. . 📸 @marconatto ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #anxiety #beauty #blackandwhitephotography #breathedeep #calmdown #meditation #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mindset #muscledad #peace #relax #selfcare #stressmanagement #lifecoach #ruiduartecatana (em Lisbon, Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm-Hd18NC1i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s been a whirlwind body week+ and today I had the delight of an excited dog landing full force on my left hip causing a cascade of functionality drop. Feeling such gratitude for the folks I was supposed to be on different zoom calls/sessions with today moving plans to the weekend or next week. Gratitude to my Boy helping get me standing, fed, drugged, into/out of baths, even getting my shoes on so I could take an Uber home. I need home time. One of the challenges with my body adventures though is that if it is hip, knee, back, general vertigo, or Meniere’s related, going up and down stairs is tricky… if possible. Had the aha 2 weeks ago to offer keys to my building/home to a few extra folks, plus that if I remove the bug screens from a window I can toss my keys down so others can come up. I have such gratitude for the people in my life. For their generous spirits and open hearts. Now to battle internalized ableism mixed with the dance of not always being able to “prove” it is bad. Plus, to feel the love of well-intended offers of ideas that are not actually viable for me. Having groceries or food delivered, for example, is a well intended offer… but if I can’t go down 2 flights to then carry stuff back up… such a kind gift becomes a challenge I must now overcome. I feel the love, and, breathing deep, I also ask folks to know what helps someone else. What helps you might not help me. The golden rule states “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” A beautiful intention. I believe in the platinum rule, “do unto others as they actually want done.” Today I breathe, stretch, hold, whimper, breathe, hydrate, lay flat, stand up, move slow, move a centimeter at a time, letting tears flow and gasps escape. It is okay to be I say to myself. It is beautiful to be in community and a web that carries such love to and from me. Blessed to have those who do not say “get better soon,” as this is a long-term dance. Blessed be. Blessed be. #SpoonieLife #ChronicHealth #ChronicHealthIssues #Gratitude #AttitudeOfGrattitude #CommunityLove #BreatheDeep #PassionAndSoul #LoveMyWeb https://www.instagram.com/p/CmNL89LObNR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
