Try a Relaxing Breath

There are many breathing techniques, each designed to do something different. Some are energizing; others are relaxing. Here is one derived from yoga that Dr. Andrew Weil swears by for relaxing. He recommends it for falling asleep, going back to sleep after being awakened, or when you are feeling angry or upset. Lie or sit comfortably. Touch the tip of your tongue to the ridge of tissue on the roof of your mouth behind your upper front teeth. Exhale completely through the mouth to the count of eight, making a whooo sound. Inhale through the nose to the count of four. Hold your breath to the count of seven, then exhale again to the count of eight. Do four complete cycles of inhalation, holding and exhalation, all the while keeping your tongue on the ridge on the roof of your mouth. Then breathe normally.

As a child, Natalie was terrified of water, and her fear was intensified by several mysterious water-related accidents on movie sets. While shooting The Green Promise, young Natalie had to walk over a bridge during a thunderstorm. When she did, the technician flipped a switch prematurely, and the bridge collapsed, throwing Natalie into the treacherous waters and breaking her wrist. When Natalie married Robert Wagner, their honeymoon cruise was cancelled when a violent storm arose. Natalie drowned late one night in 1981 while on a yacht trip off the coast of Catalina Island. The "dark waters" had claimed her at last. Read more...
