<h1><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong>Senobi deep breathing relieves depression, anxiety, asthma, colds, bronchitis, other lung conditions. Senobi deep breathing even helps you lose weight. Relax and feel better all over with Senobi deep breathing.</strong></span></h1>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></div>
<h3><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong>The <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004TAR2K8/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=rainfhealicom-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399373&amp;creativeASIN=B004TAR2K8">Senobi Deep Breathing Technique</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=rainfhealicom-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B004TAR2K8&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399373" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" />, with its natural deep abdominal breathing, can help nearly everyone. Developed in Japan where it is widely used, the amazing Senobi Deep Breathing Exercise Technique produces outstanding health benefits in just three minutes a day.</strong></span></h3>
<h3><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></h3>
<h3><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong>Senobi deep breathing is a very easy to do, invigorating, stretching and breathing technique. It creates profound states of relaxation and enjoyment, and is superior for improving breathing for anyone. It improves breathing in any lung condition, including colds, bronchitis, and even asthma. It also helps with weight loss, even for the morbidly obese.</strong></span></h3>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></div>
<h2><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong>The key to the Senobi deep breathing technique is in this sentence: The Senobi posture naturally imposes either deep abdominal or deep thoracic breathing.</strong></span></h2>
<h2><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></h2>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong>The Senobi deep breathing method can be performed either seated or standing and with hands either together or not. You extend your arms over your head with palms facing the sky (with fingers either intertwined or not), lean back and stretch (with arms and neck arched backward). This posture opens the area between the shoulder blades and imposes abdominal breathing. Inhale for 5 to 7 seconds and exhale for 5 to 7 seconds. Repeating the inhale and exhale at least 3 times. Repeat the process for at least three minutes of Senobi deep breathing per day.</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong>A variation of the Senobi deep breathing technique imposes deep thoracic breathing in the lung area. Do this variation while seated or standing and with hands facing each other together or not. You extend your arms over your head with palms facing each other (with fingers either intertwined or not), lean back and stretch (with arms and neck arched backward). This posture closes the area between the shoulder blades and naturally imposes deep thoracic breathing.</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong>In the Senobi deep breathing weight loss study:</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong>The Senobi deep breathing weight loss study was unique for its simplicity: It used breathing to activate the sympathetic nervous system which helps weight loss by increasing metabolic activity.&#8221;</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong>In the Senobi deep breathing asthma study:</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong>In the Senobi breathing asthma study, the researchers used heart rate measurements to determine levels of parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system dominance. Excessive levels of parasympathetic control are believed to cause asthma symptoms because the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight), which is in control of opening the airway passages, lacks the strength to balance the parasympathetic system. The Senobi deep breathing stretch corrects this by activating the sympathetic nervous system thus opening airway passages.</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong>Asthmatic patients performed Senobi deep breathing stretch exercise regularly for one month. At the study&#8217;s conclusion, the majority of patients had decreased the use of their inhalers and showed an increase in expiration volume.</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong>In the Senobi deep breathing depression study:</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong><br />
</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: small;"><strong>In the Senobi breathing depression study, researchers found that Senobi deep breathing stimulates the sympathetic nervous system to alleviate depression.</strong></span></div>

<div id="attachment_1113" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://rainforesthealing.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/rfh-DO-IT-YOURSELF-LYMPHATIC-MASSAGE6751.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1113" title="Do-It-Yourself Lymphatic Massage" src="http://rainforesthealing.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/rfh-DO-IT-YOURSELF-LYMPHATIC-MASSAGE6751-300x192.jpg" alt="Do-it-yourself lymphatic massage" width="300" height="192" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Do-It-Yourself Lymphatic Massage</p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">The easy do-it-yourself lymphatic massage</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Drain away your congestion. Reduce your stress. Relax your tense, tight muscles. Reduce the effects of sinus, colds and flu. Help get all of your muscles, organs, and body systems to function optimally with this simple once-a-day exercise:  t<strong>he do it yourself full body lymphatic massage</strong>  </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>In this video, Donna Eden is massaging all of the body&#8217;s lymphatic massage points to improve the function of every muscle, every organ, and every system in the body.</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1585426504/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=rainfhealicom-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399369&amp;creativeASIN=1585426504">Donna Eden is one of the world&#8217;s most talented energy medicine healers. When Donna Eden does this simplistic looking exercise in the video below, she is accomplishing much more than promoting the proper flow of lymph</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=rainfhealicom-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1585426504&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399369" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" />.</strong></p>
<p><strong>She is stimulating-pressing all of the neurolymphatic points in order to help stimulate the body&#8217;s muscles, organs, and whole body to function optimally.</strong></p>
<p><strong>When doing the exercise shown in the video, it is usually not necessary to press as vigorously or go as fast as does Donna Eden. If you do it more gently, you will get excellent results, too.</strong></p>
<p><strong>In this video, Donna Eden&#8217;s lymphatic massage is based upon Kinesiology and Touch for Health &#8211; which were developed by two chiropractors, George Goodheart and John Thie, respectively &#8211; over 30 years ago. They developed these systems by referring to the TCM Chinese energy meridians and correlating the body&#8217;s muscles, organs, and systems to the body&#8217;s neurolymphatic points, neurovascular points, spinal reflexes, and more.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Remember, with this simple once-a-day lymphatic massage exercise, anyone can help improve the function of their muscles, organs, and bodily systems.</strong></p>
<p><strong>What it takes is regular, persistent effort! If you make the effort to do this lymphatic massage daily or at least three times per week, you will feel better soon. As you repeat the lymphatic massage over a period of time, you will keep feeling better and better. The benefits are cumulative and can be immense.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/45tLuqMrup0" frameborder="0" width="600" height="437"></iframe></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>A few words about George Goodheart and John Thi</strong><strong>e and the <a href="http://www.etouchforhealth.com/kinesiology_history.html" target="_blank">History of Kinesiology</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0875168124/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=rainfhealicom-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399369&amp;creativeASIN=0875168124">Touch For Health</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=rainfhealicom-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=0875168124&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399369" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" />.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How the Lymphatic Massage Reflex Points Correlate to Our Body Organs</strong></p>
<p><strong>The lymphatic points that Donna Eden is massaging in the video are shown on the diagram below.</strong></p>
<p><strong> When you give yourself a lymphatic massage, you are influencing the function of your internal organs.  Why?  Because each lymphatic reflex point is related to a body organ, so by massaging the lymphatic point that relates to an organ, you are helping the function of that related organ.  </strong></p>
<p><strong>Give it a try.  As an example, if your stomach or small intestine do not feel good for a few hours after eating, find the lymphatic points for the stomach and small intestine and give them a massage.  That is how easy it is to help yourself with the do-it-yourself lymphatic massage. </strong></p>

<p><strong>Massaging or pressing on these acupressure points stimulates your body to heal in many ways.   One way that these points relieve your cold or flu symptoms is by improving the function of your lymphatic system, thus allowing your lymph system to properly remove waste materials from your system.</strong></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 20px;">Fall and spring colds, flu, and congestion are usually caused by changes in seasonal temperatures which either thickens or thins our lymph system fluid to cause lymphatic congestion and a build-up of mucus or phlegm. </span></strong></h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 20px;"><strong><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';">Colds, flu, and congestion are the result!</span></strong></span></h3>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';">Turmeric ends colds, flu, and congestion by first thinning the mucus. This thinning action unclogs the lymph system.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Problems with the sacroiliac joint are a major - and in much of the world are thought to be the number one - cause of back, buttock, and leg pain and even sciatica.    </strong></p>
<p><strong> The SI joint can easily become a bit twisted, irritated, or  inflamed and thus not function properly.  When the sacroiliac joint does not function properly, it is called SIJD or SacroIliac Joint Dysfunction.  </strong></p>
<p><strong>SIJD results in lumbar or lower back pain, buttock pain,  leg pain, and even sciatica.  The SI joint can also become arthritic.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Sacroiliac joint (SI joint) connects the base of the spine to the pelvis. It connects the spine to the right ilium at two points or areas on the right side and connects the spine to the left ilium at two points or areas on the left side. </strong></p>
<p><strong>These joint&#8217;s four connection points have a kind of interlocking mechanism that limits movement at the joint.  The SI joint is supported by a large, strong network of  muscles and ligaments because the SI joint is a weight-bearing joint.  If any of these muscles or ligaments fail to function optimally, the SI joint fails to function properly and you may get back, buttock, or leg pain or even sciatica.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Here are some quick exercises to help alleviate and maybe even prevent SI joint dysfunction and pain. </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">If you have trouble getting to sleeping or staying asleep perhaps you need to change your sleeping habits. To obtain good, sound sleep, get as many hours in bed before midnight as possible and make certain that you consistently get enough hours of sleep.</span></strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"> </span> </strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">To assist you in getting more sleep and a more sound sleep when you do go to bed, try organic honey and organic apple cider vinegar.</span></strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"> </span> </strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Mix two teaspoons of organic honey and two teaspoons of organic apple cider vinegar in a full glass of water. Drink the entire glass just before going to bed.</span></span></strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"> </span></span> </strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Organic h</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">oney promotes good sound sleep because it is pre-digested sugar, a natural sedative.</span></span></strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"> </span></span> </strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Organic h</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">oney is pre-digested sugar because it was digested by the honey bee. Thus, the human body does not have to devote any energy to digesting the organic honey. Organic honey is already fully digested when it enters our bodies.</span></span></strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"> </span></span> </strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"> </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">As a result, less than a half hour after organic honey is consumed, the organic honey has already been absorbed into our bloodstream. And it is working to help us get a better night&#8217;s sleep by helping us to sleep longer and sleep more soundly.</span> </span></strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"> </span> </strong></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Good night&#8230;.</span> </span>  </strong></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Are you familiar with Active Manuka Honey? It&#8217;s the New Zealand originated honey that can really boost your health. Active UMF Manuka honey has extraordinary and powerful medical properties. The recognition of the healing properties of the New Zealand-originated Active UMF Manuka Honey is rapidly increasing around the world. Find out what Active UMF Manuka Honey can do for your health. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Active Manuka Honey is made by honey bees who feed on the Manuka bush, which is a extraordinary plant itself. The Kakariki parakeets use this plant to rid themselves of parasites by chewing the leaves and bark and applying the sap to their feathers. The Maori people have also known about the special traits of this tree for centuries. They have been using parts of this plant as an effective folk medicine for centuries. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Honey was used to treat infected wounds as long ago as 2000 years before bacteria were discovered to be the cause of infection. The invention of antibiotics in the 20th century resulted in a setback in the use of honey as a medicine. Before that time, health-boosting honey was used by almost all cultures in history. But now, once again, the medicinal use of this natural product - Active Manuka Honey -  is growing not only among consumers but also among medical health professionals &#8211; even though many medical professionals have the tendency to adhere to the opinion that only pharmaceutical products are useful. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Several clinical trials have proven Manuka honey&#8217;s efficacy and others are being conducted at the moment. Some of the most comprehensive Active Manuka Honey research has been done at New Zealand&#8217;s Waikato University. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Manuka Honey and Active Manuka Honey have been researched for over 20 years by Dr. Peter Molan, Senior Lecturer at the Waikato University in New Zealand. The Waikato Honey Research Unit led by professor Peter Molan has done ground-breaking research on the medical benefits of Manuka honey. Dr. Molan has discovered that this honey has unique medicinal properties that cannot be found in any other honey or food. </strong></p>
<p><strong>According to professor Molan&#8217;s research, Active Manuka Honey has a broad spectrum of action and it works on bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. In fact, they have not found any infectious organisms on which it does not work. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Molan has found that Manuka Honey seems to naturally destroy staph and strep. Active Manuka Honey seems to naturally destroy staphaureus, streptococcus (even antibiotic resistant MRSA, Golden Staph), as well as h. pylori (helicobacter pylori), the bacteria typically associated with stomach ulcers. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Manuka honey has shown to effectively treat the MRSA bug where antibiotics fail. It is also used to treat wounds, ulcers and burns where it quickly regenerates skin resulting in a decreased chance on infections and less scarring. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Apart from this it is used to relieve digestive complaints such as acid reflux, gastritis, heartburn and indigestion. Its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties help reduce the pain of these stomach complaints. Professor Molan suggests taking a teaspoon of Manuka honey with a small amount of toast three times a day to relieve digestive issues. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Some people have noticed improvements on psoriasis or other forms of eczema thanks to the use of Manuka honey. The osmotic effects created by the honey hydrate the affected area - alleviating inflammation. Manuka Honey&#8217;s acidic and antibacterial characteristics have shown to reduce acne by killing bacteria aggravating pores that lead to acne. </strong></p>
<p><strong>UMF Active Manuka Honey is a low cost alternative to other medications, has no known side-effects, and is suitable for vegetarians. </strong></p>
<p><strong>For more information about Dr. Molan&#8217;s Research work, please visit these links to the website of Waikato University. </strong></p>
