Pattern Breathing
Brainpower Contest Winner # 9
Here is the winning entry for the weekly brainpower contest:
(For rules and to see other winnimng entries, visit the page
Brainpower Tips Contest.)
Hi, I am not sure if you already have
these techniques, but it always helps me to drink water and sit
and breathe in a pattern for several minutes. For example. small
breath in (slowly), big breath in (quickly), big breath out (quickly),
small breath out (slowly) and repeat several times.
Also aside from helping concentration,
a method to relax, other than being blindfolded and the other
mediation techniques you mentioned, is to lay down, close your
eyes, and pretend you are getting an imaginary massage, it works
for me.
Truly Yours,
Jonathan From Miami, FL, USA
Thank you Jonathan, and I hope that you like the prize. Many
of the breathing techniques that subscribers suggest seem to
help clear the mind.
I haven't tried an imaginary massage, but it sounds relaxing.
Thanks again for the entry.
Note: In order to get the newsletter put together and have
this page up before that, I have to pick a winner just two or
three days after each newsletter. However, if you sent any ideas
in later, I may use them for the following weeks.
