When was the last time you yawned?

 

Turns out yawning is good for you.

 

Not just good, but really, really good.

From the research of Dan Brule’ who has spent 53 years studying breathwork.

 

Brule’ is the breath coach for Tony Robbins, which is where I heard about him.

 

Brule’ taught Tony the breath exercises for Tony’s courses.

 

53 years and taught Tony.

 

Ok, I am paying attention. Got his book JUST BREATHE.

 

These are my notes on the yawning chapter…

 

Yawning is a natural breathing technique that improves overall health.

 

It energizes us.

 

It triggers the relaxation response and discharges stress.

 

Opens us to the universal life force on a very deep level.

 

Yawning lights up the part of the brain associated with empathy, bonding, play & creativity.

 

Here is the technical stuff…

 

Yawning is associated with the precuneus, a tiny structure in the parietal lobe and it appears to play a central role in consciousness, self reflection and memory retrieval.

 

Memory retrieval…remember that…I will mention it again at the end.

 

Yawning evokes a unique neural response in the part of the brain involved in social awareness & feelings of empathy.

 

And this is the kicker…

 

Neuroscientists can find no other single activity that has so many benefits and influences so many brain functions at once.

 

When you yawn & stretch, you activate & squeeze vital glands in the neck throat & armpits.

 

Yawning is serious business.

 

Isn’t it time we started having fun with it?

 

Further, as mentioned in a previous MASTERY NEWSLETTER, the CO VID jab and the fear-based narrative shut down long-term memory creation.

 

Can yawning help to overcome that?

 

Is it worth experimenting?

 

Let me know how it goes.

 

In Joy and Love
