Many modern technologies, such as computer screens, laptops, television sets, radio hi-fi systems, microwave ovens, WI FI connections, smart meters, and the commonly

October 28, 2011 Paulette Vasconcellos

When you think about your breath as being your link to life, it takes on a whole new meaning. In our fast-paced lives, most of us forget to breathe fully as everything occupies our minds, except for breathing.
