Tried and tested: Breathing Therapy

I thought I am sick as I have been feeling tired since yesterday. It turns out that my right nose is stuck.

===========================================================================
From My InBox:

Practice this way and it will help you...

Our noses have left and right nostrils. Are these nostrils having the
same function for inhaling (breathe in) and exhaling (breathe out)?
我們有左邊、右邊鼻孔，吸氣、吐氣時有沒有一樣？
Actually it's not the same and we can feel the difference.
Accordingly, the right side represents the sun and the left side
represents the moon.
其實不一樣，可以感覺不一樣；右邊等於是太陽的意思，左邊等於是月亮 .
When having headache, try to close your right nostril and use your
left nostril to do breathing for about 5 min. The headache will be
gone.
平常頭痛時可以用手把右邊鼻孔關起來，只用左邊鼻孔吸氣、吐氣，約五分鐘，頭痛就好了。
If you feel too tired, do it the opposite way. Close your left nostril
and breathe through your right nostril. After a while, you will feel
refresh again.

如果疲倦、累了，相反的關起左邊的鼻孔，只用右邊吸氣、吐氣，不用多久，馬上精神好起了。

Because the right side belongs to heat, so it gets hot easily. The
left side gets cold easily..
因為右邊屬於火氣，比較會熱，左邊比較會涼。

Women breathe mainly with their left nostril, so they get calm down easily.
女生大部分吸氣、吐氣在左邊，所以心比較會涼快。

Men breathe mostly with their right nostril, so they get angry easily.
男生大部分吸氣、吐氣在右邊，所以他們比較會生氣。

When we wake up, do we notice which nostril breathes faster? Is it the
left side or the right side?
我們起床時，可以注意哪邊吸氣、吐氣比較快？左邊或右邊？

If the left nostril breathes faster, you will feel very tired. Close
your left nostril and use your right nostril for breathing and you
will get refresh quickly.
如果左邊比較快，覺得提不起精神，可以關起左邊鼻孔，用右邊呼吸，很快的精神會好起來。

You can teach your kids about it. The effect of breathing therapy is
much better for adults.
這也可以教給小孩，大人用更好。如果你有警覺心的話，速度更快。

I used to have painful headache. When consulted a doctor, he told me
jokingly," You will be all right if you get married!" The doctor did
not bullshit me as he had his theory and supported with testimony.
以前我曾經頭痛，痛得非常厲害，去看醫生，醫生說 " 你去結婚就好了 !" 醫生說得沒錯，他有理論根據。

During that time, I used to have headache every night and I was not
able to study. I took medicine but I was not cured.
當時每天晚上都頭痛，沒有辦法看書，有吃藥，也不是辦法。

One night as I sat down to medidate, I closed my right nostril and
breathed with my left nostril. In less than a week, it seemed that my
headache problem had left me! I continued doing it for about a month
and since then there was no recurrence of headache in me.
有一天晚上靜坐，關起右鼻孔呼吸，這樣子做，不到一個禮拜，頭痛好了！持續做了一個月，從那天晚上到現在，一次也沒有頭痛過。

This is my own experience. I used to tell others who also suffer
headache to try this method as it was effective for me. It also works
for those who have tried as well. This is a natural therapy, unlike
taking medicines for a long time may have side effect. So, why don't
you try it out?
這是我自己親身經驗過，每一次我告訴別人，你們頭痛的話，試試看，因為我的身體有效果，很多人試過也有效果。這是一種自然的處理，不像吃藥會有副作用，為什麼不用呢？
Practice the correct ways of breathing (breathe in and breathe out)
and your body will be in a very relaxing condition.
經常清楚的吸氣、吐氣，身體會覺非常輕鬆。

The marriage of sharing

What is marriage to you?

My InBox:

The old man placed an order for one hamburger, French fries and a drink.

He unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half, placing one half in front of his wife.

He then carefully counted out the French fries, dividing them into two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife.

He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them . As he began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them were looking over and whispering.

Obviously they were thinking, 'That poor old couple - all they can afford is one meal for the two of them.'

As the man began to eat his fries a young man came to the table and politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man said, they were just fine - they were used to sharing everything

People closer to the table noticed the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink.

Again, the young man came over and begged them to let him buy another meal for them. Th is time the old woman said 'No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything.'

Finally, as the old man finished and was wiping his face neatly with the napkin, the young man again came over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asked 'What is it you are waiting for?'

She answered.....

==================================================================================
From My InBox:

This is an Incredible story!

Get your hankie ready to wipe off some tears.

===========================================================================

From My InBox:

In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University .

On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.

The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.

He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it.

As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife,

After which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.

The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments.

Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled.

Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away.

Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son.

As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and

Walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing.

The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down.

The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant.

Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure.

He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder.

The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs

And slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.

Probably wasn't the same fucking elephant.

This is for everyone who sends me those heart-warming bullshit stories.

=======================================================================

Yeah, laughing can give one the same teary effect.

Kids speak out on the important issues of the day.

From My InBox:

1) NUDITY

I was driving with my three young children one warm summer evening when a woman in the
convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked!
As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from the back seat,
'Mom, that lady isn't wearing a seat belt!'


2) OPINIONS


On his first day of school, a little boy handed his primary teacher a note from his mother.

The note read: -
'The opinions expressed by this child are not necessarily those of his parents.'



3) KETCHUP

A woman was trying hard to get the last of the ketchup out of the bottle.
During her struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the phone.
'Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now. She's hitting the bottle.'


4) MORE NUDITY

A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's changing rooms.
When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover.
The little boy watched in amazement and then asked,
'What's the matter, haven't you ever seen a little boy before?'

5) POLICE # 1

While taking a routine vandalism report at a primary school,
I was interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old.
Looking up and down at my uniform,
she asked, 'Are you a cop?
Yes,' I answered and continued writing the report.
'My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?'
'Yes, that's right,' I told her. '
Well, then,' she said as she extended her feet toward me, 'would you please tie my shoes?'

6) POLICE # 2

It was the end my shift, after I had parked my police van in front of the station.
As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking, and I saw a little boy staring in at me.
'Is that a dog you got in the back of your van?' he asked.

'It sure is,' I replied.

Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards the back of the van.

Finally he said, 'What did he do?'

7) ELDERLY

While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly who are house bound and lived in sheltered accommodation, I quite often used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds.
She was unfailingly intrigued by the various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs.
One day I found her staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass.
As I braced myself for the inevitable barrage of questions.
She merely turned and whispered, 'The tooth fairy will never believe this!'

8) DRESS-UP

I was at my brothers house for the evening to babysit my 7 year old niece.

My neice was watching her mummy get dressed for a formal dinner they were going to.
When she saw her father come into the bedroom to fix his bow tie wearing his dinner suit.
She gasps and said 'Oh! Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit.'
'And why not, darling?' asked my brother

'Because it always gives you a bad headache in the next morning.'

9) DEATH

While walking along the pavement in front of his church, our vicar heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt.
Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin.
Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had got a small boxwhich they had lined with cotton wool, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased.

The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: 'Glory be unto the Faaather, and unto the Sonnn, and into the hole he goooes.' (I want this line used at my funeral!)

10) SCHOOL

A little girl had just finished her first week of primary school. On the Friday afternoon as they were walking home
her mother said to her, "Did you enjoy your first week"
Thinking for a moment the little girl replied "I'm just wasting my time," she said to her mother. '
Taken back her mother asked her why she thought that?
To which she replied "I can't read, I can't write, and they won't let me talk!"

11) BIBLE

A little boy opened the big family Bible.
He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages.
Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible.
He picked up the object and looked at it.
What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages.

'Mama, look what I found,' the boy called out.

'What have you got there, dear?'

With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, 'I think it's Adam's underwear!'
