This Week's But For Pause
This week's But-For Pause is an important Triangle Practice, with the count 4-7-8.
Please practice at least once so we can discuss in class.
I am sharing this video so you can hear Dr. Andrew Weil's (a founder of integrative medicine) recommendations on the frequency and regularity of practice, as I believe this applies across the different breathing techniques. I am confident you will find his discussion of interest.
As discussed in class, explore a breathing practice ONLY IF your experience indicates one may be of benefit to you and worth integrating into your day.
