Are you having a hard time falling asleep? Dr. Andrew Weil has shared the “most powerful” relaxation technique he knows, and it doesn’t require any equipment or cost a dime. It’s known as the 4-7-8 method and it’s backed up by science.Dr. Weil is an expert in integrative medicine and the founder and director of the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona.The technique is simple:Breathe in through your nose while you count to 4.Hold your breath while you count to 7.Exhale while you count to 8.Dr. Weil says the method creates a "very pleasant, altered state of consciousness" that you may not experience the first time but will come as a "reward" of regular practice. Dr. Weil insists that the 4-7-8 technique is a practice, and you must do four breath cycles at least twice a day to get the benefits. "After a month, you can increase to 8 breath cycles if you're comfortable with it," adding that's the "absolute maximum."Dr. Weil says that 4 to 6 weeks of doing the practice can lower heart rate, improve blood pressure, digestion and circulation and can promote sleep. A study published in Physiological Reports agrees, saying that practicing the 4-7-8 technique reduces heart rate and blood pressure for several minutes.It’s also an easy way to help you fall asleep. "If you get up in the middle of the night for any reason, it is the most effective anti-anxiety technique that I've found,” Dr. Weil says.This article originally appeared on 1.3.24

The movie “Reagan,” which features Creed vocalist Scott Stapp as Frank Sinatra, will be in U.S. theaters August 30th. As the title implies, the film details the life and career of late U.S. President Ronald Reagan, with Dennis Quaid in the title role. However, it seems the Sinatra role should have gone to Stapp’s guitarist bandmate Mark Tremonti, since he released a Sinatra tribute album two years ago. Reagan, a former actor, pitchman and governor of California, beat Jimmy Carter for the presidency in ’80 proclaiming it was “morning in America. He survived an assassination attempt and a major scandal (Iran Contra) but is credited with playing a leading role in ending the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union. ### The post Creed’s Scott Stapp in “Reagan” Movie appeared first on RockinTown.

Behind bars, corrections officers would in turn be responsible for protecting those agents assigned to Trump.” If he’s found guilty, Trump could be taken to jail directly from the courthouse. Several people online pointed out jailing Trump would backfire and cause him to win the 2024 presidential election in a historic landslide.
