As instructive as marriage can be, maybe we should be celebrating our "anniversities".
Today's lesson:
When professional cakes go horribly, hilariously wrong.
Ironically, I got to clean up cat vomit this morning too! So, you're saying there are men out there who don't mind cleaning it up? Hmmmm.... I've got to find me one of those!
Uuuugh, cat vomit. That turns me off more than my girlfriend, who's lived with cats her entire life.
It at least looks like a tasty cake. Chocolate icing is the best instructor.
all i can think is the decorator got "anniversary" confused/combined with "university." too funny!
I hope that is chocolate icing and not black! So, a hairball on black icing...very romantic. Count me in on ordering one of those.
Reason no.3 why the marriage didn't stick!
Sounds more like "anniversary" + "adversity" to me.
Wow, I can write in icing better than that and I suck at writing.
Angie (from over at www.HalfAssedKitchen.com)
My guy doesn't quibble about cleaning up cat yark. He'd rather clean up cat vomit for me, than to have to clean up more of it from me vomiting while doing it.
Okay, enough there. Haha
Maybe there ought to be a University of Marriage anyway?
My thought too Galadriel, which makes "School of Hard Knocks" even more appropriate.
Im not sure if Im more turned off by the bad spellng or the lint on the side of the cake, what the heck is that?
Unless the order went something like
< thought >Hmm, John just founded his own university. Maybe I'll get him a cake...< thought >
Hi I'd like one cake that says "Happy 1st University" and make it really chocolate!
cake decorator reading: "Happy 1st university?" what kind of message is that? must be a misspelling...
--- Samuel
hello i just heard about your blog and at the same time having a fight with my boss of three weeks about the fact that I should be able to decorate 10 cakes in an hour. I don't want to do this because they end up looking like pictures you have on your blog and the cakes don't sell anyway. I tried to convince him that the better quality will help his business. he does not see that a squiggly is not a shell border, so I had to quit... I really liked the job too, why do bosses do this? since when is it okay to put out cakes like this? Frustrated
What's the stuff down the side meant to be? You mention cat vomit, I can't help thinking what came out the other end fell on the cake!
Speaking of cat vomit--what the heck is that grey blob bordering the left side of the cake?
@Amy--ROFL!!!! Get yourself a Bissel SpotBot. That is the sole purpose for us purchasing one, and it has paid for itself many times over. Like the time the dog consumed an entire 20-lb bag of cat food....
Anyway... that stuff on the side of the cake does look quite a bit like the aforementioned cat vomit. Yummm!
Anniversary, University, Adversity - sounds like a multi-purpose cake to me.
As for cat vomit - I deal with that regularly (I have four felines). Get some "OUT" at Walmart (I buy it at Zehr's in SW Ontario) it is THE best product out there.
Marriage is definitely a learning opportunity!!
Daily Gif
"Anniversity" is right! Marriage is not as easy as it looks and it's about time we embrace it and celebrate it anyway ;-)
The cat vomit comment made me smile. I get the vomit duties and my husband gets the litter duties. We've only been married a few months so I wonder what else we'll learn before our 1st Anniversity.
I wish heartily that our cats would vomit in pretty little peaks and swirlies like that. What we get from ours looks more like what you'd get if you took a bowl of oatmeal, mixed it with dustpan sweepings, sauced it up with Italian dressing, and then dumped from the top of a stepladder. Into your shoes.
My hubby does nothing to help unless you consider yelling, "A CAT is PUKING!!! I can HEAR IT but I don't know WHERE!! I'd better not STEP in it!!" at the top of his lungs *helpful*.
The scribbling on the cake is too messy to EVEN care about the spelling. There's really nothing good about that cake except that
Generally I find that other cats clean up cat vomit.
Speaking of cat vomit...I had the same thought about the side of sludge. At first I thought it was a brown plastic bag, but then, no, I think it's supposed to be edible.
One summer I applied to work at a bakery. One of the questions in my interview was, "Do you know how to spell 'anniversary'?" At the time (being a teenager) I thought that was a funny question to ask...of course I knew how to spell it! But now I see the interviewer wasn't so far off the mark!
Hehe that's how my mom pronounces the word 'anniversary', since english is her second language.
Thta cake looks funereal. So is this case of "Happy 1st Anniversity of Aunt Griselda's Death (the nasty old biddy!)"?
Brilliant! A multi-purpose inscription to celebrate everything one loves in life: Animals, animosity, adversity, university, anniversary...
Wait, men will clean up cat vomit for me? Ugh, I cannot wait for my boyfriend to freaking move in! (He's also agreed that he will take out the trash. I could love a man for that.)
I'm voting for a purposeful misspelling on this one. My husband and I have called our anniversary "anniversity" since the beginning of our relationship.
And, actually, once we got married, we now celebrate our wedding annivesary and our dating anniversity.
With 17 cats in the house (and two outside), I'm quite an expert at cleaning up hairballs.
Sometimes the dog barfs, too, and I can also clean that up.
But I like it better when it happens around spouse, so he can do it for me. (Insert devil horns here.)
And speaking of cats, that cake looks like something the cat dragged in.
Funny enough I don't mind cleaning up cat vomit...but then neither does my husband. Good preparation for having kids :)
What I want to know is, does anyone plan to clean the cat vomit off the left side of the cake?
Distressful Damsel said...
"What I want to know is, does anyone plan to clean the cat vomit off the left side of the cake?"
To remove what the cat hacked up, I say we enlist one of those Helpful Husbands some of the lucky ladies here commented on...hmmmm?
It's either that or the bakery'll probably have to mark down the price to half off? Or maybe call it "hack" off?
(Gee...that really doesn't sound right, does it?)
Is that what that is on the side of the cake?--cat vomit? Ick.
Check out this website full of Wrecks.
This is especially funny considering I just came from my Mother-in-law's wedding! I told my husband we are *so* having that cake made for her and her new husband next year!!
@ Anonymous:
ooohh my goodness.
I think the first rule of cleaning up cat vomit is don't then proceed to smear it all over an already ugly cake....
If I'm not mistaken, that's a Cold Stone Creamery ice cream cake. And they are delish. Such a shame to ruin one.
Not sure I'd be celebrating my anniversary if I got a cake like that.
Julie from
That's funny. I don't know where we got it, but for the last 14 years or so, hubs and I say anniversity!
My cat left me a similar present on my bedt the other day - unfortunately, it was not made of flour and icing.
Anniversity, indeed.
awwwww thats cute.The Society to Save Endangered Species was formed by Fred Smilek and two of his colleagues; Charlie Mack & Jonathan Korny. Fred Smilek stays active in raising awareness for this cause. [www.fredjsmilek.com]
thats gotta be a coldstone cake...yum..
I want to celebrate my Anniversity now!
Was that supposed to be a tribute to "Dogbert's School of hard knocks?
Barnes & Noble
Borders |
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)
We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
Payments must be made through Paypal, which accepts all major credit cards. Sorry, but that means no checks or MOs or barter-based chickens.
We ship everything first class USPS, and will do our best to have your package in the mail within 2 days of your order.

If you are self-conscious because you have missing teeth, wear dentures that are uncomfortable or don't want to have good tooth structure removed to make a bridge, talk to your dentist to see if dental implants are an option for you.
Dental implants are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth and are designed to blend in with your other teeth. They are an excellent long-term option for restoring your smile. In fact, the development and use of implants is one of the biggest advances in dentistry in the past 40 years. Dental implants are made up of titanium and other materials that are compatible with the human body. They are posts that are surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, where they function as a sturdy anchor for replacement teeth.
Most patients find that a dental implant is secure, stable and a good replacement for their own tooth. There are generally three phases to getting an implant:
First, the dentist surgically places the implant into the jawbone. Your dentist may recommend a diet of soft foods, cold foods and warm soup during the healing process.
Next, the bone around the implant heals in a process called osseointegration. What makes an implant so strong is that the bone actually grows around it and holds it in place. Osseointegration means "combines with the bone" and takes time. Some patients might need to wait until the implant is completely integrated, up to several months, before replacement teeth can be attached to the implant. Other patients can have the implants and replacement teeth placed all in one visit.
Finally, it's time for the placement of the artificial tooth/teeth. For a single tooth implant, your dentist will customize a new tooth for you, called a dental crown. The crown will be based on size, shape, color and fit, and will be designed to blend in with your other teeth. If you are replacing more than a single tooth, custom-made bridges or dentures will be made to fit your mouth and your implants.
If you are interested in dental implants, it's a good idea to discuss it carefully with your dentist first. If you are in good general health this treatment may be an option for you. In fact, your health is more of a factor than your age. You may be medically evaluated by a physician before any implant surgery is scheduled.
Chronic illnesses, such as diabetes or leukemia, may interfere with healing after surgery. Patients with these issues may not be good candidates for implants. Using tobacco can also slow healing.

You are an American living in another country. Are you a tourist? An expatriate? An immigrant?
When does a visitor morph into something more? When does your home-away-from-home become your home?
The United Nations reports that more people than ever are living in countries other than their own. In 2013, some 232 million people — about 3.2 percent of the planet's population — were migrants. The U.N. defines a migrant as "any person who changes his or her country of usual residence" and a long-term immigrant as someone who lives in another country for more than a year.
"That officially makes me an immigrant, albeit a transient, professionally migratory one," says Shane Horn, 35, an American teaching a course called Global Perspectives at the Nazarbayev Intellectual school in Karaganda, Kazakhstan. And one question he poses to his class: What is the difference between an immigrant and expatriate?
The two terms, Shane says, "are mainly used to delineate uneducated, labor migrant workers from skilled, professional migrant workers. The former are commonly referred to as 'immigrants' whereas 'expatriate' is reserved for the latter."
But, he adds, "all immigrants are expatriates, and all expatriates are immigrants."
As part of Project Xpat, NPR asked Americans living abroad to answer — in 10 words or less — the 10-word question: What does it mean to you to be an expatriate? Here are a half-dozen answers:
"Examining privilege, navigating third culture, appreciating home." — Sheela Lai, 23, India
"Searching for familiar comforts in unfamiliar places." — John Tynan, 51, China
"Guts, a bit of crazy and a lot of vulnerability." — Maryann Reid, 38, United Arab Emirates
"Being asked 'Do you know Goldie Hawn?' " — Rosie Tobin, 20, India
"To best open your mind past Western-centrism, leave the west." — Emily Zhao, 19, China
"Living my dream of seeing the world, experiencing real freedom." — Helen Howard, 39, England

What is Diamond Painting?
Diamond painting is a unique form of mosaic art where artists use glossy resins to meticulously complete intricate designs on a pre-glued canvas. The final result of several hours of hard work is a stunning piece of artwork that showcases your unique craftsmanship. This masterpiece can serve as an exquisite addition to any interior space or be given as a remarkable gift.
Moreover, diamond painting serves as a soothing and calming activity that effectively relaxes the amygdala, which is responsible for generating feelings of fear in the brain. This allows your mind to achieve much-needed rest and rejuvenation.

- It will make you feel relaxed.
- It takes your mind off of daily stress.
- It makes you feel happier.

Squared vs rounded diamonds: what's the difference?
When deciding between a square or rounded diamond drill, it is important to note that there is no definitive answer. This choice often comes down to personal preference, as many factors are subjective in nature.
It is worth noting that, in the majority of situations, rounded items are simpler to put together. So, we recommend the rounded ones for beginners.

Last year, scientists got the chance to solve a medical mystery — well, at least half of it. This week the final puzzle pieces fell into place, as investigators tracked the newly identified virus to an eight-legged bug.
The mystery actually began with two Missouri farmers who came down with a strange illness in 2009. They had high fevers, diarrhea and nausea. Their platelet counts dropped dramatically, though they didn't experience any abnormal bleeding.
Doctors thought it was a bacterial infection. But antibiotics didn't help. So a quick-thinking physician at Heartland Regional Medical Center in St. Joseph, Mo., sent the men's blood to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
When virologists looked at the samples under the microscope, they discovered a virus that no one had ever seen before. They named it the Heartland virus, in honor of its origin and the Midwest.
Both farmers eventually recovered from the illness. But a piece of the puzzle was still missing. How did the men catch the virus? Where did it come from?
Now entomologists at the CDC have filled in the blanks. The bug specialists have identified the Heartland virus in ticks at a farm and in a park in northwest Missouri, near where the two farmers live.
"It's the first time anyone has found it in the wild, in the environment," says the study's lead author, Harry Savage. "It means the virus is yet another tick-borne disease in the U.S. — and another reason to prevent getting bit."
Both farmers had been bitten by ticks before getting sick. So Savage and his colleagues hunted for the virus in 12 locations around St. Joseph and the Missouri River. They collected more than 50,000 ticks during the summer of 2012, and even picked the bloodsuckers off horses and dogs on the patients' farms.
The virus showed up in only one species: the lone star tick. And it wasn't in the adult ticks — just the young ones, called nymphs.
Near the home of one of the farmers, 1 in 500 nymphs had the virus, Savage tells Shots. "If we were looking for Lyme in Connecticut, there would be more ticks infected," he says, "but for a virus, [1 in 500] is a substantial number."
Savage and his team published their findings this week in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.
The lone star tick — which is named after the white spot on its back, not Texas — doesn't carry the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. But it has been linked to a similar illness, called Southern tick-associated rash illness. And its bite can leave a rash that looks like the one caused by the Lyme-carrying deer tick.
No other cases of the Heartland virus have been reported since its discovery last year. And Savage thinks the risk of infection is still low.
"That's just speculative," he says. "With viruses, there are often a lot of people who are asymptomatic."
And, since the virus is new, health workers have probably missed it, he says. "In Missouri, doctors will think you have bacterial infection, give you antibiotics and send you home."
Savage and his team are just starting to look for the virus in other parts of the U.S. The lone star tick has a broad distribution in the U.S., occupying much of the Southeast. The tick's range has even been expanding over the past few decades, and it now thrives as far north as Maine.

What Is Good Search Engine Marketing?
When choosing your search engine marketing provider it's important to be careful who you choose to go with. Search engine marketing is a very exact science and when done incorrectly it can cause more harm than good.
The key thing to remember is that Google wants to make sure that its users are able to find the kind of great content and services that they're actively looking for. That means they want to try and remove the low quality sites from their results and bury the webmasters and companies that use 'spam' techniques to climb the SERPs.
In the past, you could effectively get to the top of Google by simply cramming your content with the same keyword over and over again and posting your link on as many sites as possible. But Google is constantly improving its algorithms and always refining the way it finds the best content. If you follow these same practices today – which some SEO companies still do – then you will end up getting penalized and removed entirely from the results.
Instead, the key is to focus on delivering high quality content to the readers, while at the same time making sure that Google is able to find and recognize that content for what it is. That means using LSI optimized keywords, it means building links on high quality blogs and sites across the net and it means creating sites that are highly optimized in terms of mobile compatibility and page load times.
This is how you do search engine marketing right. This is how you build success that will last and that is future proof against future algorithm changes.

Layered Heirloom Tomatoes with Feta and Basil Oil |
In recent years, heirloom tomatoes have caught the fancy of an increasing number of gardeners and local growers. Heirloom varieties which are at least 50 years old are plants that have been grown year after year for generations, handed down from gardener to gardener. These are the tomatoes that people have fallen in love with, and have deemed worthy of keeping.
Heirloom tomatoes have several advantages over hybrids. They have outstanding flavour, come in a variety of colours...pink, yellow, orange, maroon, purple.... may be marbled or striped, have unusual shapes (until the 20th century, tomato varieties were every shape but round) and an extended growing season. However, heirlooms are more prone to disease than hybrid varieties. They have names like Cherokee Purple, Brandywine, Kellogg's Breakfast, San Marzano, Yellow Pear and Radiator Charlie's Mortgage Lifter!!!
When I was recently at my local Italian market the owners daughter asked if I would enjoy some of her dad's Roma tomatoes from his garden. Imagine my delight when they were as big as your fist and not the small Roma's you find in a can for your tomato sauce. He brought the seeds over from Italy years ago and continues to grow them lovingly year after year.
Since it is peak tomato season I went in search of the perfect heirlooms. When in Peachland over the weekend I visited the farmers market and made my way straight to the Heirloom Lady who grows delightful varieties like this striped version and Brandywine. They are so sweet and delicious and every colour of the rainbow. The rich tapestry of colors, the diversity and depth of their flavor, and the general beauty of these tomatoes provide an experience that your average grocery store tomato just can't match!!! My next creation I will name "Painted Desert Heirloom Tomato Salad" with every colour of the sunset spread across your plate.
Such special tomatoes deserved a special presentation so I layered them with some feta cheese and topped all with a quick and easy basil oil. Zip, tuck and your done!!! Are they worth the extra cost? I was in heaven and you will be too!!!
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
3 red heirloom tomatoes, each cut into 3 slices
3 yellow heirloom tomatoes, each cut into
3 slices1 1/2 cups (about 6 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup diced red onion
Process olive oil and basil in a blender or immersion blender until pureed; set aside.
Stir together shallots and next 3 ingredients. Pour over red and yellow tomato slices; toss gently. Set aside.
Place feta cheese in a large bowl; mash with a fork. Stir in onion.
Place bottom slice of red or yellow tomato on a serving plate. Spread about 2 tablespoons of feta mixture over slice; drizzle with about a teaspoon reserved basil oil. Repeat with middle slice of tomato, feta mixture, and basil oil. Top with stem end of tomato. Repeat with remaining tomatoes, feta mixture, and basil oil. Drizzle tomatoes with remaining shallot marinade and basil oil.
Serves 6

We charge $9.95 flat rate shipping on all orders, except for bulky products. Bulky products are charged on a product by product basis based on the total weight of the product and the destination postcode. Bulky products are identified by the word "Bulky" written against the Shipping Type under the Specifications section on each product listing.
When an order contains both Standard and Bulky products, a flat $9.95 charge will apply to unlimited Standard products and each Bulky product will attract its own shipping charge. A total shipping charge will then be shown on the checkout page prior to confirming and processing payment for your order.
We endeavour to pack and ship all orders within 3 business days, with most orders being shipped within 24 business hours of the order being received. We recommend that you refer to Australia Post's delivery time frames on their website to determine how long it will take for your order to arrive based on your location in Australia (all orders are shipped from Capalaba, QLD, 4157).
Almost all parcels are shipped with Australia Post eParcel from our Brisbane warehouse with the exception of some larger bulky products which are shipped by courier directly from our partner warehouses. Most bulky products are shipped with an automatic "Authority to Leave" and will not require a signature on delivery unless you specifically request this. Other larger orders may also be shipped by courier rather than Australia Post if they are outside of Australia Post's maximum allowable weights and dimensions.
If you elect to pick up a bulky product from our Brisbane warehouse, we may need to transfer stock from a partner warehouse. If this is the case you will be advised by email within 24 hours and we will send you a notification email as soon as it is available for pick up.
You will be provided with the option to select Signature or NO Signature for all non-bulky parcels on checkout. If you select NO Signature, please note that this is 100% at your own risk and there is no parcel insurance when you select this option. If the parcel is not successfully delivered and we have provided you with a valid tracking number, we will not ship a replacement to you free of charge. Therefore, we strongly recommend all customers select Signature on Delivery for their parcels. In the event a delivery issue does occur and you have selected Signature on Delivery, we can assist with a replacement parcel for you pending the outcome of an investigation with Australia Post.
Many bulky products are unable to be shipped to PO Boxes. If you have provided a PO Box delivery address and all or part of your order will be sent by courier, we will call you to discuss alternate delivery options.
All Express Post orders will be shipped same business day if received before 10am QLD time, or next business day if received after this time.
A tracking number will be emailed to you shortly after your order is dispatched.
Please ensure that your delivery address is complete and correct. In the event that a parcel is returned to us due to failure to collect from the post office or an incorrect or incomplete delivery address being provided, you will be charged a return fee (we simply pass on the exact fee that Australia Post charges to us which is $10+GST) along with a second delivery fee. The second delivery fee will not be eligible for our $9.95 flat rate shipping charge and we will charge you exactly what Australia Post charge us to re-ship the parcel to you.
We do not provide any shipping time frame guarantees and strongly recommend that customers place their orders well before the products are needed, particularly over peak seasons. We will not provide a refund in the event that a parcel missed the deadline for when you required it by. The only exception to this is if your parcel is marked as lost or stolen by the courier or Australia Post.

Located at one of the most scenic spots in town, the lagoon gives you a view of the downtown high-rises and Cook Inlet. The area is big enough to accommodate a circular track, a hockey rink and a separate area for casual skating--with half the lagoon to spare. Yup, we do everything big here in Alaska.
They keep the ice clear and wet-mopped pretty much all winter and on Saturdays you get a special treat: they bring out the music and the bonfires. On the edge of the lagoon they set up fire barrels and speakers pipe out the music while you can skate for free--what a deal!
We took the kids last Saturday and everyone had a great time, it was Lillian's first time skating without the benefit of a wall to cling to and I spent most of the time coaxing her along on her shaky blades. She was pretty amazing in that I couldn't count how many times she fell--and fell hard--but she was always cheerful and determined and never seen to mind the bruises. Unlike Andrew who whimpered and wept about his bruised hiney all weekend ("Does this look infected to you?" "Do you think I broke something?" "What happens if I broke my bottom--how would they cast that?")
Here's a quick clip of her and me skating and I show it as an example of the spills she took. Go watch it and tell me your body wouldn't break into messy little pieces if you twisted and crashed like that. I wince just watching it.
Anyway, when she's determine she's pretty stubborn and the only way we could get her home was to promise to take her regularly so she could "get good like the little girl skating over there." Apparently she's as competitive as her parents.
I'll end with a panoramic clip of the lagoon if you're interested in how pretty it all is. And the beauty of the clip is that you can watch it from the comforts of your warm and toasty armchair--you won't have to brave the 5 degree temperatures that we did.

Stress Management: Breathing Exercises for Relaxation
Have you ever noticed how you breathe when you feel relaxed? The next time you are relaxed, take a moment to notice how your body feels. Or think about how you breathe when you first wake up in the morning or just before you fall asleep. Breathing exercises can help you relax, because they make your body feel like it does when you are already relaxed.
Deep breathing is one of the best ways to lower stress in the body. This is because when you breathe deeply, it sends a message to your brain to calm down and relax. The brain then sends this message to your body. Those things that happen when you are stressed, such as increased heart rate, fast breathing, and high blood pressure, all decrease as you breathe deeply to relax.
- The way you breathe affects your whole body. Breathing exercises are a good way to relax, reduce tension, and relieve stress.
- Breathing exercises are easy to learn. You can do them whenever you want, and you don't need any special tools or equipment to do them.
- You can do different exercises to see which work best for you.
How do you do breathing exercises?
There are lots of breathing exercises you can do to help relax. The first exercise below—belly breathing—is simple to learn and easy to do. It's best to start there if you have never done breathing exercises before. The other exercises are more advanced. All of these exercises can help you relax and relieve stress.
Belly breathing
Belly breathing is easy to do and very relaxing. Try this basic exercise anytime you need to relax or relieve stress.
- Sit or lie flat in a comfortable position.
- Put one hand on your belly just below your ribs and the other hand on your chest.
- Take a deep breath in through your nose, and let your belly push your hand out. Your chest should not move.
- Breathe out through pursed lips as if you were whistling. Feel the hand on your belly go in, and use it to push all the air out.
- Do this breathing 3 to 10 times. Take your time with each breath.
- Notice how you feel at the end of the exercise.
Next steps
After you have mastered belly breathing, you may want to try one of these more advanced breathing exercises. Try all three, and see which one works best for you:
- 4-7-8 breathing
- Roll breathing
- Morning breathing
4-7-8 breathing
This exercise also uses belly breathing to help you relax. You can do this exercise either sitting or lying down.
- To start, put one hand on your belly and the other on your chest as in the belly breathing exercise.
- Take a deep, slow breath from your belly, and silently count to 4 as you breathe in.
- Hold your breath, and silently count from 1 to 7.
- Breathe out completely as you silently count from 1 to 8. Try to get all the air out of your lungs by the time you count to 8.
- Repeat 3 to 7 times or until you feel calm.
- Notice how you feel at the end of the exercise.
Roll breathing
Roll breathing helps you to develop full use of your lungs and to focus on the rhythm of your breathing. You can do it in any position. But while you are learning, it is best to lie on your back with your knees bent.
- Put your left hand on your belly and your right hand on your chest. Notice how your hands move as you breathe in and out.
- Practice filling your lower lungs by breathing so that your "belly" (left) hand goes up when you inhale and your "chest" (right) hand remains still. Always breathe in through your nose and breathe out through your mouth. Do this 8 to 10 times.
- When you have filled and emptied your lower lungs 8 to 10 times, add the second step to your breathing: inhale first into your lower lungs as before, and then continue inhaling into your upper chest. Breathe slowly and regularly. As you do so, your right hand will rise and your left hand will fall a little as your belly falls.
- As you exhale slowly through your mouth, make a quiet, whooshing sound as first your left hand and then your right hand fall. As you exhale, feel the tension leaving your body as you become more and more relaxed.
- Practice breathing in and out in this way for 3 to 5 minutes. Notice that the movement of your belly and chest rises and falls like the motion of rolling waves.
- Notice how you feel at the end of the exercise.
Practice roll breathing daily for several weeks until you can do it almost anywhere. You can use it as an instant relaxation tool anytime you need one.
Caution: Some people get dizzy the first few times they try roll breathing. If you begin to breathe too fast or feel lightheaded, slow your breathing. Get up slowly.
Morning breathing
Try this exercise when you first get up in the morning to relieve muscle stiffness and clear clogged breathing passages. Then use it throughout the day to relieve back tension.
- From a standing position, bend forward from the waist with your knees slightly bent, letting your arms dangle close to the floor.
- As you inhale slowly and deeply, return to a standing position by rolling up slowing, lifting your head last.
- Hold your breath for just a few seconds in this standing position.
- Exhale slowly as you return to the original position, bending forward from the waist.
- Notice how you feel at the end of the exercise.
