Parisa Fitz-Henley Instagram – Greetings from my back yard! I’ve been excited to share this one for a while. 📚✨ #BreatheDeep: An Illustrated Guide to the Transformative Power of Breathing is the newest book by the fantastic @mishablaise. It’s a fun, beautiful dive into breathing and how beyond keeping us alive, it can be used to improve our lives. We can even improve the world around us! Misha is someone I love nerding out with on science/health/inner life topics. And I admire the way she’s able to make them accessible to almost anyone. Not to mention she does it from the heart, with artwork that makes me happy. I felt ✨inspired✨ (did you know inspire is another word for breathe?! 🌬️) to share my favorite breath work technique here. It’s so easy. It’s in the book and also spoken about in depth by one of my other faves, Dr Andrew Huberman. I hope you find it helpful and that it inspiiiiires 🤓 YOU to look at how something so simple can make such a difference. Check out @mishablaise for lots of uplifting, funny, thought-provoking wellness/well-being content. 🌬️ #Health #Wellness #Bookstagram Video description: Me, to camera. I have medium brown skin and dark brown eyes. My brown hair is twisted. At times I hold the book Breathe Deep: An Illustrated Guide to the Transformative Power of Breathing. It has a blue and green cover with a purple person breathing out multicolored breath while holding a multicolored heart in their arms. It is by Misha Maynerick. At a few points I show illustrated pages from the book. In two silent moments before and after I demonstrate breath work the screen reads “Here we go…” and “We did it. Enjoy some virtual mangoes” (over a photo of mangoes). The video ends with a still of me holding the book with text that says “Thanks for watching my book report!”
