Don't you have a variety of relatives in the relatively immediate area? Get on the phone and see about making a visit for the weekend. While it would not be as fancy as a trip to Mexico or Japan it would just cost a couple tanks of gas and maybe a pie as a gift.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612373437033635765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482668939889334761.post-84628000206974084442009-08-26T23:44:55.586-07:002009-08-26T23:44:55.586-07:00Come to Japan. =) Unfortunately I have not struck ...Come to Japan. =) Unfortunately I have not struck it rich or else I would totally fly you two out here.

Then get up 10 minutes early, and make an extra cup of tea before getting started on the day?<br /><br />Performance horses in heavy use, especially those highly trained, are susceptible to horrible neck pains - when they take and hold the expected position to perform as expected - but then aren't asked to stretch out those muscles that have been tensed in performance.<br /><br />Breathe deep. Repeat.<br /><br />There is a breathing phenomenon that some people experience, called "pocketing" if I recall my doctor's description. Breathe out all the way. Now, continuing to push air out as if there were any left, hold the lips close together so you can feel that slight trickle still pushing out. Scrunch your stomach to push more air, as long as you can (about the length of time you can hold your breath). Take a couple of breaths. Repeat 2-10 times. This flushes out stagnant pools of air in the lungs, improves oxygen exchange in seldom-used corners of the lungs. But this isn't a really flashy party trick.<br /><br />Blessed be.Brad K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18378344866487206569noreply@blogger.com
