So I was curious if there are any simple techniques to use to change my breathing habits? |
Have you tried soaking a washcloth in very warm water and applying it to your forehead? This is very simple and it really unclogs the sinuses. Using a neti pot is also a great idea.
I also read an article on the Yoga Journal website that addressed relearning how to become a "nosebreather"
. This is the address, but I don't know how to access it now that I've let my subscription lapse.

Third, I'm reading a fascinating book - Meditation As Medicine by Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D. His medical meditations cover every conceivable ailment, especially those that mainstream medicine isn't much good at treating. It's very important for your health to be able to breathe properly. Good Luck! Lynni
