Looking for books about breath techniques
I am learning more about how I tend to hold my breath or breathe tightly in stressful situations--would love to learn some techniques that help me to overcome this habit, and help me meditate. I have meditated in the past, but find myself so very short on time--kids up at 6:30 am and I am with them all day--that I need some guidance on short meditations or "breathing breaks".
Also, websites with ideas/techniques on breathing would be so helpful.
Thank you!

there's something called 'lifeforce yoga' its primarily for depressions/anxiety..but delivers a variety of paranayam (breath techniques)
things like alternate nasel breathing can really either slow you down or speed you up...food for meditation here.
I would just google paranayam. a quick search found this:

kundalini is also flush with short 'meditations' which are more like exercises..and therefore easier to 'get into a state' but difficult nonetheless
good luck.

You're suppose to be able to pick the leaf out of the middle - and it comes out realllllllll easy - if it's ripe.
It should smell ripe too.
pineapple eats everyone. Its true. Aloe vera water maybe?
Your dog is sooo cute! I have a dog too and two cats, and I looove them! I feed them wheatgrass and they actually choose that before regular grass wich they normally chew on in the garden.
I decided to have a 50/50 raw/cooked meal at Vita last night, having had a desire for warm meals for last couple of weeks. They had a Vegan Paella, it was amazing but it's only the second time I have had grains for a year and I had headache soon a...

It's actually surprisingly easy once you get the hang of it. No machete required. Shave off the husk at the pointed top close to the shell. Then poke the point of a knife in about 2 or 3 cm out from the centre and wiggle it about until it pierces ...
Isn't it?!? I personally can't think of anything more visually appealing then beautiful fruit :)
