Dear Liane,

I would like to 2nd Michele's Thank you, dear! This is very

helpful for I had no idea of so many ways to breathe to stimulate the

brain in so many healing ways! Amazing post, I must try them! One I

believe I have seen Deepak Chopra briefly talk about but this is

wonderful, many techniques for many calming and stimulating ways to

help our brain which in turn helps us mind,body, and spirit

overall! Namaste, dear friend!! Luna
