Having trouble sleeping? This breathing trick can help you fall asleep in less than a minute. The method was developed by Harvard-educated, wellness practitioner Dr. Andrew Weil, who specializes in breathing, meditation, and how it can be used to counteract stress.

How Does This Method Work?

It’s very easy; just breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds, hold it for 7 seconds, and exhale through your mouth for 8 seconds. This slows down your heart rate and it also releases chemicals in your brain that soothe you. By using this breathing method, you counteract the natural effects of adrenaline. When you first begin, you may feel a bit uncomfortable, but as you continue, you will feel very relaxed, your heart rate slow and your mind clear.

Give it a try tonight.

So true! I mean most days what I do is read old threads and posts, nothing fascinating about the new ones.

Wish I had been here earlier.

Exactly, I can't really tell what happened.. it happened like magic.

The fun died, interests lost.

I was glad to be part of that family

Seems you were still a guest then

You are not too late tho.

It gets better.
