The Carlton Times

Fewer than half of people who use a metered dose inhaler for asthma do so correctly, according to the MayoClinic Health Letter.

Here is how to use an inhaler:

Shake inhaler and attach a spacerA spacer is a separate chamber that you can attach to the end of the inhaler. Spacers have to be purchasedseparately from an inhaler. They enhance the effectiveness of inhalers by maximizing the dose of medicineinto the lungs, decreasing the amount deposited into the throat. Spacers also cut down on the number ofminor throat and mouth infections and irritations.

Sit or stand upright and breathe in and outBreathe deeply two or three times. Then before you inhale the last time, place the spacer between your teethand close your mouth tightly around the end.

Inhale slowlySqueeze the inhaler once and slowly begin inhaling for five to seven seconds. After inhaling hold your breathfor a few seconds more.

Rinse your mouthThis is especially important if you use a medicine such as Advair or other corticosteroids. Rinsing yourmouth and throat can prevent thrush or other side effects such as hoarseness.

Every grieving generation remembers the casualties of war in its own way.

So, Memorial Day, the day when we remember the men and women who died in war, has evolved.The beginning of the holiday is usually set in 1868, when the Grand Army of the Republic, anorganization of Union veterans founded in Decatur, Illinois, established a Memorial Day to decoratethe graves of the Union war dead.

Throughout the Civil War, families and groups remembered fallen soldiers on many dates and in manyplaces. North and South generally had different traditions for remembrance. Gradually, the traditionscame together and by 1968, Congress designated the date as the last Monday in May.

The Civil War posed new problems for the young republic of America. More than 600,000 soldiers(some say 750,000) died in the conflict, representing 2 percent of the population. (By comparison,U.S. losses in World War II were just over 400,000.)Once national cemeteries were established, the tradition of decorating the graves of fallen soldiersbegan in earnest.

Today, veteran's groups, individuals and churches decorate graves with flags on Memorial Day,continuing the tradition of honoring the fallen.

Graves and clothing are also frequently decorated with poppies, a symbol of sacrifice that becamepopular after World War I. It is said that for every drop of blood shed in war a poppy grows inremembrance.

Consider the music that was given to the world by people like Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky,Bach and other greats. How could it have been possible for those composers to sit in roomslit by candles, using a quill pen, to put together concerts, symphonies, operas, etc., withcomplex genius that reaches beyond the ability of people to do the same things today withcomputers and other modern technology? And Beethoven was deaf. Where did it come fromand did it come to them for a reason? Why does the music of Mozart have such a deep effecton consciousness that something happens to the human mind when his music is played? (TheMozart effect.)

Larry Dossey, M.D., in his article, “The Body as Music” says, “Why are we moved by music?One reason may be that the body itself is intrinsically musical, right down to the DNA thatmakes up our genes.” There is a deep connection between your DNA and the music of Mozart,Beethoven, Bach, Tchaikovsky, et al, and the reason why they were able to compose suchmusic in a dark room by candlelight, with a quill pen, is because the music was composed forthem. The very essence of existence through the celestial connection of all life was playingmagnificent music within them. There was no need for Beethoven to hear with his earsbecause what came through him on to the paper in the form of music was the coding sequencesof life itself. DNA.

And when that DNA is given expression to the ear, we were captured by the MOZART EFFECT.The vibrations that harmonize with our DNA through Beethoven’s 9th symphony, or thesolace and beauty, which ran through our very beings of Tchaikovsky’s Pathetique was allplanned.

Our very existence is a symphony of love. We are created with a harmony of love flowing throughour bodies and minds. Even in the Scripture, the text admonishes us to make a joyful noiseto the Lord and to praise Him with musical instruments. Can you grasp this wonder? Ourvery DNA is God’s music playing within us and this is why

We may not be able to compose music that will touch the core of our being. We may not be ableto create sounds to flow in harmony with the music of our DNA. The beauty of all of this isthat we do not have to. The harmony is within us, flowing through our DNA. The music toharmonize with that DNA has been provided for us by the composers of long ago.

We can use music to help empower us every day of our lives by setting aside a half hour of timefor meditation, (or “alone time” if that word is more pleasing to you) and do the following:

1. Darken the room and play classical music. Mozart is excellent but all classical is beneficial.

2. Don’t be concerned if the music becomes loud or driving. Those frequencies changes arenecessary to create the vibrations required. In a Tchaikovsky symphony, for instance, thereare different ranges. There is joy, there is sorrow, and there is beauty. There are periods thatare loud and challenging, and periods that are soft and reflective.

Just like the life of each of us.
