    1. the only meditation I have EVER found effective in my life. 1:19:57 Intro and explanation + 1:27:51 Meditation start

      Meditation with triphasic breathing (you won't fight with your thoughts)

      It focuses on 6 steps (feel a stop between each phase):

      Beginning:

      • The place doesn't matter. You can do it anywhere, such as in front of your computer
      • Sit up straight and close your eyes

      Repeat:

      1. Breathe in with your belly (try to put your belly button far from your spine)
      2. Breathe in with your chest
      3. Raise your shoulders up and breathe in the last time
      4. Relax your shoulders (bring them down)
      5. Contract the chest (let it relax)
      6. Move your navel towards your spine

      Ending:

      • For around 1 minute, relax and let your breath do whatever it wants to (observe what your breath is doing)
      • Now, let your eyes stay closed and let yourself (your mind) come back
        • put your palms in front of you
        • rub them together to feel the heat
        • put the hands over your eyes
        • as you breathe in and out, let your eyes open with your palms over them
        • when the breath is complete, let your hands come down
      • After the meditation you shall normally feel joy

    1. Buildings that have been unused or rarely used for more than three weeks are at risk of an outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease unless their water pipes are flushed and sanitized. The lack of chlorinated water flowing through the pipes can create the right conditions for the bacteria that causes this disease.

      Why don't we have procedures/automated mechanisms (like something that automatically turns on water flow briefly every day) that prevent this?
