Sinuses and Hawk on a summer morning, part 2
One point of my story was how much is to be gained when you step out of your routine. I wouldn’t usually have been outside in the heat, sweating. (Sweating in itself is probably healthful.) If the hawk’s calls hadn’t gotten my attention, I wouldn’t have tilted my head back almost 90 degrees to look up. When I did that, I saw not only the majestic hawk, but other silent creatures flying about – birds, butterflies and the possible hummingbirds (but likely the moths that mimic a hummingbird). So much life and beauty in this world can be missed because we don’t go out, or don’t look up, or slow down to look around!
And because I tilted my head back, I experienced some sinus relief. I experimented this morning with tilting my head backwards. Although my bathroom ceiling is not as fascinating as the open sky, I again experienced some sinus clearing. And I’m using the Neti pot. Slightly annoying to use, it is very effective in reducing nasal inflammation and I hope, cleaning out allergens and irritants.
