Hey all, so I'm currently in school to become a massage therapist. Learning anatomy and physiology is part of the curriculum. I've had a lot of downloads simply from studying how the different systems in the body work, such as the nervous, digestive, etc. The one I want to share today is about the respiratory system. Inside our lungs, the structures that actually exchange air between our blood and the atmosphere are called alveoli. A pair of lungs has somewhere between 300 and 800 MILLION of these little guys depending on your size. MILLIONS! The total surface area of these is somewhere around 800 sq feet. My lungs have more surface area dedicated to receiving and exchanging air than my whole apartment. Wild! If you have lungs, you are ABUNDANT! And... this is just one small example from the magnificent machine of the human being. What a profound honor to inhabit this body. You are abundant by your nature! What a gift to have such a potent mechanism to interface with the cosmic wonder of breath!
