Dan Poynter's PONDERISMS

 

1. I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural

causes.
 
2. All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
 
3. How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?
 
4. Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these dangly

things and drink whatever comes out'?

 

 

 Oh, Oh...

 

Greetings! 

 

This month we have National Back Pain Awareness week, Breast Cancer Awareness week and Halloween. Cool! 

Well, last week I gave you a simple exercise for stretching your piriformis so that you can enjoy your favorite activity without pain, and today's exercise will help keep you from cramping up on those days that you have to sit for long periods. That'll cover back pain, we'll talk about breasts next week, and Halloween humor is at the bottom of the page!

 

The most important thing we can do for ourselves as women, to prevent not only breast cancer, but heart disease as well, is to take care of ourselves. Self-care is a top priority because you can't take care of others if you don't take care of yourself first, yet so often "me" falls to the bottom of our to-do list. 

The holidays are coming soon though, so by request, and to help you remain on top of your game, I'm bringing my Acu-Yoga for Total Wellness program to both Virginia and the Berkshires. My one day workshop in Alexandria, VA. is listed below, with links and phone numbers for registration. 

The program in the Berkshires is a four session series on Monday and Thursday evenings. We'll start on Monday Nov. 5th from 5:30 - 6:45pm and continue until Thursday Nov. 15th. 

Here's a sample of what you'll receive from this wonderful program:

  • Clearing of emotional toxins
  • Balancing energy reserves
  • Strengthening your immune system
  • Calming your mind
  • Reclaiming your inner radiance

There will be demonstration and practice of physical exercises and meditation practices, as well as a discussion of foods and supplements, to help keep our minds and bodys out of "holiday overload". One class will also focus on the benefits of laughter for reducing stress and will include a laughing meditation practice.

This fun filled session will lower your blood pressure, increase endorphins (feel good hormones), lower stress hormones, plus give your lungs and abs an amazing workout. You've heard that laughter is the best medicine, now you can experience it for yourself! 

 

Come fill your toolbox with more practical, simple tools you can use, any time, any place, to restore your health and vitality!

Enjoy the humor, the exercise, and a healthy, joyous week.

  

Best of Health,

When You Have To Sit For Long Periods

One problem with our fast paced society is that we sit too much. We're in front of a computer all day, or on the telephone, or in meetings, yet our body just wants to get up and move!

There are many easy ways to stretch while sitting, we simply have to remember to do them! Here's an example from my Amazon international bestselling book "STOP Back Pain - Kiss Your Back, Neck and Sciatic Nerve Pain Goodbye!" It will help you stretch and make you more comfortable so you can keep on biking, running, and playing your favorite games well into your "Golden Years!" And you'll enjoy that long meeting more, or at least not have a pain in your butt while listening to your boss drone on...

 

Sitting Pigeon

Sitting Pigeon is a modified Sleeping Pigeon that can be done while sitting in a chair or any time that you can't or don't want to get down on the floor. It can be done easily while sitting in a meeting or working at your desk.

  • First, sit tall in your chair and relax your shoulders.
  • Then rest your right ankle over your left thigh. Make sure you don't have the ankle resting on your knee.
  • Now, take hold of the seat of your chair with both hands and lean forward with a flat back. You'll feel the stretch in your right hip, thigh and buttocks.
  • Breathe deeply for one to two minutes and then switch legs.

 

This is especially recommended for times when you have to sit in long meetings. It will help keep those muscles stretched so that they don't tense up on you. Repeat every hour.
