Hi friends! I am creating a new tag #anwen-meditates to post my own health videos and tutorials. I am creating a Steemit health channel - all of my videos and tutorials are for the wonderful users of Steemit! I am planning on sharing many tutorials, including yoga, guided meditations, breathing exercises, and more. I am also uploading the videos to YouTube in the hope of attracting more users to Steemit.
I have been practicing yoga and meditation for 8 years now, and these practices have been critical in shaping who I am today. My constant practices have brought me inner peace and stability during crazy times, have healed physical and emotional injuries, and have taught me how to be PRESENT!
I am really excited to be able to share these practices with you all. I am first going to share tutorials and videos that you can do right now, wherever you are. These can be used as breaks from the information overload of Steemit / life in general, when you wake up, before you go to bed, or really any time at all :-) My first video tutorial is called "Alternate Nostril Breathing". This ancient Indian practice has many benefits, for example it: connects your right and left hemispheres of your brain, quiets your mind, calms your emotions, prepares your body for meditation, and regulates your body temperature.
Here are the steps that I cover in the video:
- Use your right thumb to close off your right nostril
- Inhale through your left nostril
- Close your left nostril with your ring finger and release your thumb from your right nostril
- Exhale through your right nostril
- Inhale through right nostril
- Use your thumb to close of right nostril
- Breathe out through your left nostril
Happy Sunday and Namaste :-)
Namaste @anwenbaumeister,
Everybody make sure your nostrils are clean and free of boogers before you inhale and exhale. :P
This was quite famous a few years back here at Nepal. A famous Yogi called Baba Ramdev (He is quite famous in India and Nepal) taught this aasan on TV. He called this aasan Anulombeelom. I have never tried it though. I'll give it a try in the evening if I remember. Another one was called Kapaalvaati in which you had to rub the tips of your fingers together.
Ok, time to take a (short) break from Steemit to try it ;) Namaste
Sweet! Namaste :-)

great video that helps
Thanks!
Finally, a post with some substance that has been rewarded.
You mean you didn't want another makeup tutorial? ;-)
Oh yes that would be...... no thank you :)
LOL love it!
Congrats on making the front page! It looks like the promo for your new health channel racked up $7,816.80 so far. You might consider cashing out some of that now that it's possible.
You've clearly captured what it takes to make an irresistible post here (i.e., original content, interactive content -- not just text, instructional content, and content that mentions steemit haha). Congrats again and thanks for sharing!
Awesome Post @anwenbaumeister! Love growing this yoga community!
Thank you! I'm excited for the growing community as well :-)
I'm in!
Glad to hear :-) I will be posting another tomorrow!
Very cool! But I do not take way for these things! I have little balance ... lol
Nice for my body and main :D
Glad to hear :-)
Great Idea May I suggest getting a domain name as well and forwarding it to your new blog then you can promote it easier. I look forward to seeing your videos.
Thanks for the advice :-) After testing out two accounts and realizing that it would just be too much time to manage both I'm just going to consolidate and keep everything on this account.
Cool! I'm with you.
Awesome :-)
hello
Hello!
Wonderful news. Great addition to Steemit . Looking forward to more great content in the future.
Thanks so much! I'll be posting a "Yoga at Your Desk" video tutorial tomorrow :-)
A yoga Steemit channel. A place to calm down after a long day of curating.
Exactly! In the past month I have found myself having to do breathing exercises and guided meditations before going to bed because my mind was too wrapped up in all of the information of Steemit, which inspired me to create this channel :-)
Yoga is something I have been meaning to do all my life but never found time to do - watching your video has inspired me again, now i have more time I may just get to do some - thank you
Awesome! I'm glad you are jumping in :-)

Thanks for the post! I just did my first mediation exercise. Now I am hook. I plan on doing this daily.
@anwenbaumeister looking forward to more of your posts.
I'm so happy to hear that :D
a bit like))))))))))))))))))
Great post! Good to see quality content on Steemit! I was afraid to only see bizarre and poor quality posts by people who just want to make a fools of themselves! This encourages me to blog and follow people with such amazing posts! Thank you!
Great to see the #yoga and #meditation sub genres growing in #Steem! I've done this in yoga before but have since completely forgot. Thanks for reminding me and giving great direction!
Meditation is the key to ultimate relaxation. I have been doing it myself for nearly a year now and I feel much more confident in myself and what I could achieve.
Mediation also boosts your creativeness so if your writing a blog words may come through your head at a faster pace therefore writing better content. I know many people who medidate and its a good method to release all the stress and anxiety that an individual has.
Everyone who is trying to get into mediation should know that its not easy , takes practice and with alpha/beta waves music this can be achieved at a much faster rate. I could write whole essays about meditation but Ill leave that for next time ;)

Hey! I did not. I just started writing original content for Steemit about a month ago and haven't stopped since, it has paid off :-)
