junwin<p>Mindful breathing, as taught by Thich Nhat Hanh, is a timeless practice rooted in the Anapanasati Sutta. It is a simple yet profound way to connect with the present moment, bringing calm, joy, and clarity to our lives. </p><p><a href="https://johnunwinphotography.blog/2024/11/25/the-five-steps-to-achieve-mindfulness-through-breath/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">johnunwinphotography.blog/2024</span><span class="invisible">/11/25/the-five-steps-to-achieve-mindfulness-through-breath/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://photog.social/tags/BreathingExercises" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BreathingExercises</span></a><br> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/CalmAndRelaxation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CalmAndRelaxation</span></a><br> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/Health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Health</span></a><br> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/Meditation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Meditation</span></a><br> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/MeditationPractice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MeditationPractice</span></a><br> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/MentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MentalHealth</span></a><br> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/MindfulBreathing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MindfulBreathing</span></a><br> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/Mindfulness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mindfulness</span></a><br> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/MindfulnessMeditation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MindfulnessMeditation</span></a><br> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/ThichNhatHanh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThichNhatHanh</span></a><br> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/Wellness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wellness</span></a></p>

Not So Fast<p>As a former, or rather not currently practising, yogi, it occurred to me I'm wasting valuable "empty" state of my stomach by not practising vacuum exercises.<br>Vacuum was always my favourite among breathing exercises, and it only takes a few minutes. While exhaling completely and then pulling the stomach in is a serious muscle work, I never felt it being _hard work_. Back then I was more athletic and had no problem performing exercises soon after eating, I was never too many hours without food anyway. These days it's way harder to do if I'm not fasted.<br>I don't get tired of it, I don't avoid doing it. Apart from the fact that I avoided it along with the whole yoga.<br>So after the flu, I measured my weight, because I sometimes do, and the waist measurement, because I was sewing a garment :) Weight was a record low for my fasting journey, but the waist was bigger than I'd expect. Anyway, I memorized the numbers and started exercises and decided somewhere in the future to check if they also reduce the waist measurement.<br>They do. After six weeks my weight was a few kilo more because I was no longer post flu, but my waist 4-5cm smaller, that is significant (and increased my wardrobe problems, but also allowed me to start wearing previously-too-small garments I kept).<br>So, 3 minutes a day in the morning, only 3-4 vacuum holdings (and I don't hold for long, never could), and there is a noticeable waist reduction. Now I don't know if something they look into while measuring waists for health checks is also improved. No idea, I didn't measure amounts and colours of fat etc. But 3 minutes a day, huh? Sounds like a clickbaity video.<br>Also much, much easier than sewing a corset, which I still want to do, for back support and speaking aid ;)<br><a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/IntermittentFasting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IntermittentFasting</span></a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/breathingExercises" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>breathingExercises</span></a> <a href="https://neurodifferent.me/tags/Uddiyana" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Uddiyana</span></a></p>
