What is the best time to practice breathing exercises?
Breathing exercises can be done at any time and are valuable for both starting and ending your day.
Rather than jumping out of bed and diving into the daily activities immediately upon waking, consider beginning the day with breath work and gratitude for your health.
A simple breathwork routine involving various breath techniques: a two-part, three-part, four-part, and five-part breath, which can be adapted and repeated as needed.
In the evening, breath practice, sometimes combined with self-massage, can helps with calming down at the end of the day.
Breath practice is versatile and can be done discreetly in various settings, making it a valuable tool to use throughout your day.
Follow along with the video as Dr. Jahnke shares his morning and evening breathwork routine.

Are there any Qigong or Tai Chi exercises you think help maintain blood pressure balance?
Mind-body practices can improve stress-stimulated inflammation.
Stress is not only a psychological discomfort, but also something that can compromise your immune system, leading to many other negative physical health conditions. Scientific research published in "PubMed Central" has shown the correlation between stress and physical illness. In the paper also links the intervention of mind-body practices such as Qigong with improvements in patients' immune systems.
The article says that "for healthy people, acute psychological stress increases circulating levels of peripheral blood natural killer (NK) cells, which are major constituents of the innate immune system, implying a potential for the development of allergic and autoimmune disorders."
Chronic immunological illnesses such as low-grade inflammation "was also observed in conditions of neurodegenerative disorders. A meta-analysis of 170 studies showed that elevated inflammation is a feature of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease."
Interestingly though, as stated in the study review, Mind-Body interventions can reduce stress, which in turn reduce problems associated with immunity issues:
"The key benefits of mind-body intervention commonly include stress reduction, mood improvements, and improved sleep. These beneficial changes associated with stress reduction may be associated with reduced activity of the Sympathetic Nervous System together with the hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal axis, which results in an improvement in immune modulation and lower inflammation."
Patients who practiced Qigong also experienced a normalization in their inflammatory cell conditions: "An RCT involving 43 healthy people found that 1 month of qigong practice significantly reduced the percentage of NK cells and increased the number and the percentage of B lymphocytes, which are key components of adaptive immunity."
Qigong is an ancient Chinese practice that promotes a range of health benefits, such as the stress balancing and immune boosting improvements mentioned above.

Breathing exercises improve oxygen intake in the lungs
Did you know that conscious breathing exercises can dramatically change how much oxygen is absorbed into your lungs and body? In a study titled "Breathing exercises: influence on breathing patterns and thoracoabdominal motion in healthy subjects," we uncover the remarkable influence of breath control on how we can make the most out of the air we inhale.
For example, when we use the diaphragm to breathe, we explore regions of our lungs that are normally harder for the air to attain. As it's said in the paper: "Diaphragmatic breathing is one of the most widely used and studied exercises in clinical practice. It aims to improve pulmonary ventilation, mainly to the dependent zones of the lungs by promoting greater respiratory displacement of the abdominal compartment."
Also according to the study, other breathing techniques such as sustained inspiratory sighs (which means taking two breaths through the nose and expelling the air through the mouth) maximal inspiration (SMI) (when you take a deep breath and hold it for 3 to 4 seconds) increase the transformation of poor-oxygen blood into rich-oxygen blood (as known as hematosis) and expand the capacity of our lungs: "Inspiratory sighs and sustained maximal inspiration (SMI) are used to improve lung volume and hematosis by performing successive inspirations (i.e. inspiratory sighs) or maximal inspiratory effort"
The rib cage also plays an active role in this process: "In addition, the intercostal breathing exercise emphasizes rib cage (RC) compartment muscles, promoting greater displacement of this compartment, Cuello et al. was the first to propose the use of inspiratory sighs and intercostal breathing exercises."
Lastly, increasing the air pressure in our lungs promotes an extra harnessing of the oxygen present: "The association between breathing exercises and pursed lip expiration reduces the RR because of the increased expiratory phase. The slow and extended expiration with resistance to the air outflow contributes to increased intra-bronchial pressure, improving oxygenation."
Don't miss this opportunity to revolutionize your well-being by consciously altering the pace and depth of your breath by joining Dr. Jahnke's program called "Breath Medicine: Activate the Most Profound Medicine."
Doing different methods of Breath Modification is the easiest, most accessible thing you can do to activate the Medicine Within! With Breath Medicine you have the opportunity to alter the course of your life.
Pain and disease are not inevitable! You can choose to activate inner healing capacity with Breath Medicine – for the rest of your life. Click here to learn more: https://9mm4bsz2.pages.infusionsoft.net/

The Tai Chi Journey into Mainstream Medicine: A Glimpse into the Future
Imagine a future where ancient wisdom meets modern medicine to improve the lives of countless individuals dealing with chronic pain. Dr. Helen Lavretsky, MD, is spearheading research that aims to make this vision a reality. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health sponsors the project, which aims to implement virtual Tai Chi sessions to treat chronic knee pain in patients.
According to the article "Tai Chi as Mind-Body Medicine? A UCLA Health Psychiatrist Aims to Take the Practice Nationwide," published on the UCLA Health System website: "Dr. Lavretsky's current project, the nationwide implementation trial, is intended to make Tai Chi part of mainstream medical practice. Her research, funded by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, will target the implementation of virtual Tai Chi training for patients with chronic knee pain."
However, Dr. Lavretsky will not be working on this initiative alone. She emphasizes, "We will work with all stakeholders, including healthcare leadership, primary care physicians, patients, and caregivers to share the benefits of implementing Tai Chi as part of mainstream medical care, and generate evidence for the best approaches for implementation."
This ambitious initiative naturally comes with demands to keep the project running smoothly: "The study also aims to train Tai Chi instructors to aid in bringing the practice to each healthcare system in a low-cost and accessible format, as classes can be shared virtually."
Ancient practices like Tai Chi and Qigong have demonstrated their great potential to enhance patient treatment as an integrative approach within the modern healthcare system. You too can harness the benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine mind-body practices.

Tips for Balancing the Earth Element in Late Summer
The Ancient Chinese sages noticed that Summer starts out with strong fire energy and as the season progresses we move into stronger earth element energy. Late summer has its own category because it has a distinct energy that serves as a transition into Fall. It is best to do distinct energy balancing practices to help you make the most of this Late Summer season.
An article published in Mother Earth Living called "Nurturing Summer Health" shares some tips and insights how you can find balance in Late Summer:
"As summer starts winding down into the dog days of August, the energy shifts from fire to earth. In TCM, this period is its own distinct season, governed by the earth element. The energy of this season is about bounty — nurturing, nourishment, centering, and trusting. In summer, the elements come together to provide the freshest, brightest food; minerals, soil, seeds, water, and heat from the sun have all combined to create food. This is the time to focus on nourishing and connecting with yourself and others.
The earth element presides over the spleen and stomach. When the earth element falls out of balance, digestive problems arise. This shows itself as reflux, bloating, lack or surge in appetite, sluggish digestion, and digestive discomfort. Many people experience digestive issues when they're worried or stressed; this is because worry is the negative emotion associated with the spleen. With the digestive system at the center of our bodies, it has the power to throw all other bodily systems out of balance when unwell.
Finding Balance in Physical Activity
The earth element also recharges with gentle, easy movements. The spleen governs the muscle system according to TCM. Give your muscles some extra love and attention in to order connect heart and head, body and mind, and move your way into a deeper sense of rootedness.
1. Walk. A leisurely walk gets your system flowing with this simple goal of getting around the block. Walking also helps you de-stress and forget about your daily worries.
2. Stretch. Lay down on the ground and gently move your body; it'll tell you where it needs to stretch. Bend forward, side to side, and flex and point your feet and hands. Get on your hands and knees and slowly move your spine. Take deep breaths and feel your body. Connect with the structure of your body systems by mapping your bones in your mind, sensing the throb of your pulse and circulation, or expanding the rhythm of your breathing.
3. Garden. Gardening physically connects you to the earth. Get your hands in dirt — smell it, touch it, and appreciate its unique properties for helping everything grow into fruition.
4. Lay down. Simply lay down and let the earth support you. Put a blanket down outside, or lay down on your floor inside. Imagine the rich soil of the earth supporting your body.
Loving kindness toward oneself is healthcare at the deepest level. By connecting with the energy of the season, we can align our self-care practices with nature and access a deeper healing from our efforts. Remember, effective self-care isn't a chore. By taking the extra steps to care for yourself, you set the tone for care in your life and relationships."

Traditional Chinese Medicine Tips for Late Summer
Do you experience health challenges at the change of the seasons? Some people do, especially if their bodies tend to have difficulty adjusting to transitions. During Late Summer when we are moving into Fall, your body may resist various environmental changes, which may weaken your health defenses.
An article called "Embrace the Earth Element" shares some Traditional Chinese Medicine tips for maintaining balance through this transition:
"The transition from summer to fall can be tough, and some people dread this time of year. Resistance to the changing seasons can cause stagnation in the body and weaken the immune system. Acupuncture helps our body and mind move effortlessly with seasonal changes.
For a daily earth-strengthening fix, try patchouli essential oil. Entering the Lung, Spleen, and Stomach channels, this oil resolves dampness and phlegm and harmonizes the digestive system. On an emotional level, patchouli can help the body transform and release pent-up emotions and calm a worried or restless mind.
We also like neroli for tonifying spleen qi, soothing a nervous stomach and easing anxiety, and grapefruit for uplifting the spirit and resolving stagnation caused by food and dampness.
There are many helpful herbal formulas for fortifying the Spleen qi and balancing the earth element, and the best option for you should be determined by your acupuncturist. Some formulas are better for draining dampness, and others for building Qi and blood, treating digestive weakness, or calming worry and anxiety.
Try acupressure on acupuncture point Spleen 9 (Sp-9 Yin Ling Quan), located on the inside part of the lower leg, in the depression of the lower border of the medial condyle of the tibia below the knee. The easiest way to find the point is to run your thumb up the edge of the bone on the inside of your lower leg until it falls into a hole- if the point is active, it will feel tender. This is THE acupuncture point for resolving dampness anywhere in the body.
Gently press on this point for 20-30 seconds to help relieve abdominal discomfort, bloating, gas pains, and lethargy after eating. This point also helps treat edema, swelling, thirst and urinary difficulty. And if you find yourself trapped in a cycle of worrisome or anxious thoughts and circular thinking, press on Spleen 9 to help break the pattern and bring ease to a worried mind.
Chinese Medicine proposes that we will feel our best if we live according to the seasons. In late Summer, it is the Earth element that is the most active and also the most vulnerable. With appropriate diet and lifestyle adjustments, we can cultivate a healthy Earth element, a strong gut and optimal immunity."

The Spleen/Stomach system, Late Summer and the Earth Element
Late summer is associated with the Earth Element and the spleen and stomach system. The Spleen / Stomach meridians govern the body's vital digestive functions. An article called "Embrace the Earth Element" shares more about this:
"The Spleen and Stomach meridian systems belong to the Earth element, and they play a very important role in our overall health and wellbeing. So much so that in 1180 CE, famous Chinese physician Li D**g Yuan founded the Earth School because he believed that the etiology of most diseases was a result of injury to the digestive system. According to this school of thought, the Spleen and Stomach are at the center of one's health. The Earth School teachings remain relevant in today's practice, especially in light of the recent research on the relationship between gut health and immunity.
The Spleen is in charge of making our body's qi and blood, which are the vital substances needed to stay healthy. Additionally, the spleen "holds" the blood in the vessels, and ascends energy to prevent prolapse of various organs like the uterus and bladder. Most importantly, the Spleen transforms the food we eat into energy and transports that nutritive energy ("ying qi") to other parts of our body. When the spleen is weak or out of balance, various health issues from digestive to gynecological to emotional arise.
In Chinese medicine theory, every organ "houses" a spirit, which corresponds to a certain aspect of our psyche. Our thoughts and mental capacity relate to the spirit of the Spleen, called the Yi (which translates to Intellect). The Yi influences our capacity for studying, concentration, memorizing, etc. With school back in session, supporting the spleen Qi is essential!
The emotion associated with the spleen is worry. With its connection to the mind and thinking, the Yi is be prone to worry, anxiety, and overthinking. When caught in this loop, spleen Qi deficiency symptoms arise, like digestive weakness, IBS, and fatigue. Meditation and calming the mind are very important for spleen health.
The Earth element relates to issues of dampness (humidity, heaviness, phlegm) - the climate of late summer. Dampness shows up in the body in many ways: physical fatigue, mental fatigue, worry, digestive problems, and muscle weakness to name a few. Because the spleen and stomach meridian systems are particularly impacted by dampness, food therapy becomes so important to keep everything on track."

Are there Qigong or Tai Chi exercises you think are particularly beneficial for heart health?
A Study on Qigong and Mindfulness for Cancer-Related Fatigue, Fear and Anxiety
A common symptom for cancer patients is physical and mental fatigue and exhaustion and many also suffer from fear and anxiety of the cancer returning, even if initial treatment is successful. These hurdles can cast a shadow on cancer survivors' overall well-being.
According to a study called "Heart Rate Variability as an Indicator of the Beneficial Effects of Qigong and Mindfulness Training on the Mind-Body Well‑Being of Cancer Survivors", Qigong and mindfulness practices can help to alleviate these challenges and significantly improve patients quality of life:
"In a quasi-experimental research design conducted with non-profit cancer foundation patients in Taiwan, the outcomes indicated that "both Qigong and mindfulness reduced the effects of cancer-related fatigue and fear of recurrence, and improved quality of life" as well as their overall health status.
And there's more: these findings corroborate with the literature: "Qigong and mindfulness can reduce cancer survivors' fatigue, psychological stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms and improve their overall quality of life; these findings are consistent with the results of related studies.
Qigong and mindfulness can activate the autonomic nervous system and maintain homeostasis, thus improving the overall health status, self-regulation of emotions, and quality of life and relieving fatigue; these findings indicate that changes in heart rate variability can be used as physiological indicators to observe improvements in physical and mental health through mind-body intervention care, an observation that is consistent with that in the study by Larkey et al."
The study concludes by saying that "promoting mind-body interventions for cancer survivors during treatment and recovery can help them effectively relieve the physical and psychological symptoms of cancer-related fatigue and fear of recurrence and enhance their quality of life."
Qigong and Tai Chi are among the most accessible tools ever developed by humanity for maximizing health, vitality and resiliency and sustaining wellbeing and productivity and inner peace!

The Ambient Presence of Qi
The ambient nature of cosmic energy whether from the central sun or our own sun, offers us the chance to heal and enrich our lives through the presence of Qi.
In Chinese philosophy, Qigong helps us recognize this universal presence, which transcends current scientific measurements, including concepts like anti-gravity and dark energy.
The importance of recognizing and engaging with this universal presence through simple, purposeful practices is highlighted, suggesting that such practices can enhance vitality and spiritual understanding without being overly complex.

Chinese Medicine Nutrition in the Season of Late Summer
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Late Summer is linked to the Earth element, which greatly influences digestion. This is the perfect time to nourish your body well with the right food to help you stay centered and balanced through the changing seasons.
An article called "Chinese Medicine Nutrition in the Season of Late Summer" gives us tips on how to eat right to help support our mind and body during Late Summer:
"Supporting the Earth element with proper nutrition, mindful eating, and herbal medicine can improve your health in the upcoming Fall and Winter months. Here are 5 things you can implement today, that are free and will go a long way to supporting your digestive health.
• Take Time to Eat at Regular Intervals throughout your day. What schedule works for you might depend on your individual needs. If this is a challenge because your time is extremely limited, aim for something reasonable like 15-20 minutes for each meal. Work up to at least 30 minutes for each meal.
• Chew Thoroughly! This may seem like a small thing, but good digestion begins with how well we CHEW our food, and most of us don't do so well enough. The more thoroughly we chew our food, the easier it is for the enzymes in the digestive tract to break it down, extract the nutrients from it, and get rid of the waste products.
• Try to Eat in a Low Stress Environment. Try not to eat in loud, stimulating environments (if possible). Is there a quiet place at your work/school where you can eat? Can you avoid the crowded, busy lunch room? This will allow your body to relax into a parasympathetic state, which is optimal for digestion.
• Focus on Eating a Whole Foods Diet. Avoid processed foods, refined grains, and sugar. Focus on fresh fruits and vegetables, pasture raised meats and eggs, nuts, and seeds. *If you have complex digestive complaints you may need customized nutrition coaching.
• Try to eat what is Local and in Season as much as possible. Try to implement a wide variety of cooked and raw foods. Transition to mostly cooked foods as Fall approaches. Not only will this support optimal digestion, but it supports your local farmer, and minimizes environmental impact by reducing food transportation."
