One of my absolute favourite breathing techniques is Bee Breathing. I just find it so quirky and fun. There’s something really unique about it—probably because it’s not your usual “inhale-exhale” kind of exercise. It has this amazing element of vibration that makes it stand out, and honestly, it feels so good to do. What I love most is how simple it is. You don’t need a lot of practice to start, and it doesn’t feel overwhelming. But even though it’s simple, it’s I'd say quite powerful in its calming effect. I’m also really looking forward to using this in my professional life, in my teaching. I think it’s going to be such a great tool for helping people calm themselves and maybe practise changing the pitch and who knows maybe even some words. I am really excited about trying its possibilities. Steps to Practice Bee Breathing
Here’s how you can try it for yourself. Don’t worry if it feels a little weird at first—just go with it and enjoy the process: And make sure that if you have other people around to warn them that you are to do something like that so they wouldn't be shocked.
I don't really recall the exact time when I started drinking coffee this way but it must have been years ago. Also, it's not the only way I have my coffee, it's just one of the ways. And since it has been with me for such a long time, I like sharing it and treating others to such a coffee. I don't drink it everyday, yet I notice that I tend to drink it more during the winter season. So, here’s a bit of background for those who love knowing the “why” behind things. This coffee-making method comes from traditional Chinese medicine and is all about balancing the five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Each element matches a taste—sour, bitter, sweet, spicy, and salty. The trick is to add ingredients in a specific order that’s meant to balance the energy in your body. In short: stick to the sequence, and you’re good to go! How to Prepare Coffee of the Five Elements
What Are the Benefits? OK, to be completely honest, I’d take the benefits below with a grain of salt. I did some internet digging to put together this list, and while they might be true, I wouldn’t bet my life on them. For me, the most standout benefit is the taste. And yes - it gives the extra kick , especially when I sneak in a pinch of chili pepper or black pepper.
