We breathe. We breathe in, and we breathe out, without noticing that in addition to keep- ing us alive, the constant and unconscious action of breathing expands and contracts our diaphragm, assisting our digestive track, and encouraging lymphatic movement and blood flow. at the same time, our cranial, spi- nal, sacral systems expand and contract with every breath, supporting our neurological functions and the amazing thing is - with ev- ery one of those unconscious breaths - we are quietly and continuously rejuvenating. imag- ine now, harnessing the power of your breath and using that power for healing, well-being, and anti-aging? in this session, Dr. Quinn, Doctor of Chi- ropractic, will share the latest in breath research and demonstrate how our breathing impacts how we live, how we move, and how we age.
