November 20th a Wednesday

Because last night was karaoke and I sang Mr. Brightside, The Killers, at Sharky’s in Tamarindo.

And there is this children’s book about a frog and a toad and they go searching for Spring. And it’s always “just around the corner.” They walk around a lot keeping looking for these corners but what is happening is time is passing.

As you pay attention to your breath, relax your jaw.

Lift up through the roof of your mouth and remember to floss the teeth you want to keep.

And your respiratory systems are trying to self regulate. So when you come to my yoga classes I work to remind you that the left and right sides of your respiratory system are automatically trying to self regulate to switching sides every 2 minutes or so. And if you alternate nostril breathe using your fingers as plugs you can cause the shift physically on the outside.

Always start exhaling through the left to clear. And then

Plug your left nostril. Now inhale through the right. And

Exhale through the right. and switch the plug with your finger

Inhale through your left nostril. Keep going.
