In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You want basic white toothpaste. Not gel, whitening paste, or anything with abrasive crystals in it. The traditional white paste will do the trick without damaging the wood. Sometimes rubbing alcohol or peanut butter can be used in place of toothpaste to remove marker stains, but toothpaste is usually more effective. You want to make sure the spot you're removing is accessible and flat, so that the toothpaste doesn't run down the surface while you're trying to rub it in. Make sure your marker stain is covered with a thick layer of toothpaste. You can apply more later if you don't have enough. Grab a clean washcloth and hold it under running water. Any temperature that's comfortable to you is fine. Once the washcloth is soaked, squeeze any excess water so that it's damp and not dripping wet. Using a circular motion, rub the toothpaste into the marker spot for three to five minutes or until most of the toothpaste disappears. Apply enough pressure that your toothpaste can penetrate the marker, but not so much pressure that you're going to damage the finish on your wood. Add more toothpaste if the washcloth doesn't move freely over the entire surface of the marker stain. Using your damp washcloth, wipe off any toothpaste that's still left on the wood. Make sure you wipe in the direction of the wood grain, not against it. The wood will dry and any toothpaste should be gone. Your marker stain should be removed. All you have to do now is clean up your area. Put away your toothpaste, dispose of your washcloth to be cleaned, and replace your wooden object if it's movable. Repeat the previous steps, but add an equal amount of baking soda (for the amount of toothpaste) to your stain. This will add abrasion so use caution when you're rubbing the mixture into the wood. If the baking soda doesn't work, follow the same steps using rubbing alcohol or peanut butter. Be sure to wipe away the alcohol or peanut butter with a damp washcloth, then let the wood dry before cleaning up.
Summary: Get a tube of regular toothpaste. Turn the piece of wood so that the stain is facing up. Squeeze a generous amount of toothpaste onto the surface of the wood. Dampen a washcloth. Rub the toothpaste in. Wipe away any remaining toothpaste. Clean up your work area. Add baking soda if any marker stain remains.

This breathing technique is considered to be an exact science that focuses on the regulation of prana (breathe) by stopping inhalation and exhalation. In a connected way, controlling your inhales and exhales enables you to better control your subtle prana, which in turn, allows you to control your mind. Controlling your mind through Pranayama removes impurities from your body. To achieve this level you have to practice daily in a quiet location free from external distractions. With diaphragmatic breathing, you will want continuously inhale and exhale without pause. This is the opposite of the Pranayama breathing technique. The diaphragm is the efficient muscle used in breathing. By strengthening the diaphragm through this breathing technique, you will decrease the rate of breathing, oxygen demand, and the exertion of less energy to breathe bringing stillness to your body. Since breathing is interconnected to the nervous system as well as the mind, practice diaphragmatic breathing in the early morning and just prior to sunset for maximum effect. The primary goal of mindful breathing is to practice focusing on your own breathing. You must focus on every single inhalation and every single exhalation. This is known as mindfulness-of-breathing. In doing so, you will sharpen your concentration. If you have trouble starting out, try counting your breaths to get your mind in the right place. When you begin, start by gently moving your attention towards the process of breathing. Choose to concentrate on each breath as it happens or on the rise and fall of your chest or abdomen. The point is to understand what it is truly like to breathe without altering the natural process. When finished, try to stay connected to the present moment and expand your awareness to the environment around you. Contemplate your experience and remember how you feel at this very moment. Chakra breathing is designed to assist and improve the flow of energy throughout your body. This is possible because there are seven chakras located within the body. By concentrating on each of the chakras, you will be able to move energy throughout your body by connecting the chakra with your breath. This will create harmony, balance, and positive energy flow, keeping your body healthy both physically and emotionally. The seven chakra are: root chakra on the base of spine; sacral chakra situated in the lower abdomen; solar plexus chakra situated in the solar plexus; heart chakra located at the center of the chest; throat chakra in the throat; third eye chakra located at the center of the forehead; and the crown chakra at the top of the head.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Daily activity can strengthen a body and allow someone to move more independently. Even if a person has physical limitations, they should still get some level of physical activity every day. This can range from small movements or walking a few feet to a variety of exercises, including yoga and water exercise. Daily exercise gives people a boost to their physical strength and can also be a lively social activity. Try to encourage exercise options that are social as well as physical. Encouraging independence should include giving people the ability to do a wide variety of activities for fun. Providing a wide variety of activities, such as gardening, taking walks, and dancing, will potentially give a resident physical and mental stimulation and will encourage independence. This could include having activities at the care center and providing transportation and support to do activities outside of the facility. Weekly (or more often) group outings are a good way to provide access to physical activities outside of the facility. These outings can be to a wide variety of places, including shopping areas, nature areas, historical points of interest, or other locales nearby. While encouraging independent physical activity is important, it's imperative to make sure that the activities you encourage will not cause physical harm. Take the resident's physical limitations into consideration when planning activities. In general, prioritize low-impact exercise, such as gardening or walking, over high-impact exercise, such as running.

SUMMARY:
Encourage daily physical activity and exercise. Provide access to a variety of physical activities. Make sure physical activities are approved.
