Breath

How does Breath-ing relate to a Raw foods diet? Most interestingly, of all the different diets I have experienced, and investigated, the Raw foods diet most completely embraces a Holistic approach to living. Fully addressing any and all aspects of components that make our terrain healthy, and fully capable of sustenance.
Although breathing is an autonomic (happens without control) feature we have as human beings, we do posess the ability to control the breath, both to the side of open and providing healthfulness, and to the side of closed and constricted, not providing energy and oxygen.
The subject is grand, and many have an awareness, or at least an interest in using breath as a form of relaxation, or to reduce stress. How about inquiring further, and inviting the breath to be present with you every moment, bringing a balance to everything you do?
Thanks to Scott @ GeoYoga for putting emphasis on inquiring with the breath with his Yin Yoga class on Monday night.
I highly recommend putting that inquiry to yourself as you move throughout your day, and if not aware of how to work with the breath, seek out a source of support, such as the class I just mentioned, or any method you find appropriate. Try slowing down when you eat, and work with the breath during that meal. Note any differences, even if subtle, and above all, enjoy the journey.
