What happens to a string when you twirl it? Twirling a string reveals fascinating physics. First, the string shortens as fibers wind tighter.

Continue further, and the string plies – foldingContinue reading “You’re like a string”

Meditate better with Complete Breath

Nature is full of rhythm. Human anatomy demonstrates many rhythms of life, for example walking, and breathing. These are modulated by your nervous system, on an unconscious, reflexive level. Your nervous system can also modulate itself by its own conscious ability. This means, you can “control” your breathing rhythm too.
