Essentials: Breath Awareness as a Healing Tool

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Breathing is, unfortunately, an ongoing unconscious process for most human beings, by which we take oxygen and vital energy into our body, yet the most important process in our existence: Life starts with an inhale and ends with an exhale. Without breath, there is no life, and still, we take it for granted. Are you aware of this process fully? Do you know the importance of proper breathing? Try to concentrate on this action only – taking a deep breath in and letting it out while solely observing the inflow and outflow of your breath. You will feel much more than just breathing. You will feel your body and everything that is in contact with it. That is how you come to the phase of...

failure

A time when I thought I failed in life

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] [ failure ] in life. There was a time when I really thought I had failed; it was the only time in my life that I had that feeling of failure and carried it around in my heart for a long, long time. It was not a small failure, but something that was the most important thing in my life, and I felt I failed to sustain and make it flourish. It took me many years to forgive myself for failing. I could not forgive myself until I realized there is no such thing as failure. Failure is just a word, but the truth is, everything that happens to us, everything we go through, is just what had to happen for everything to fall into place right now:...

A Good Night Sleep anapnoeyoga.com

A Good Night Sleep

A good night's Sleep A good night's sleep is a healthy day ahead. We underestimate how crucial sleep is for our well-being and balance. When we sleep, if we sleep in a healthy way, we regenerate and restore. While sleeping, every cell of our body gets renewed and Prana- or life energy- quietly embraces and nurtures our being. Every night we go to sleep is like closing one cycle to begin a new one. Like leaving the past behind to move on with a clean slate. Every morning we wake up like newborn babies, and if we are conscious, we have the opportunity for a new clean start. During sleep, consciousness connects to our physical body to restore us, to prepare us for living vibrantly. The truth is,...

Self Reliance & Yoga

Self Reliance and Yoga

What is Self -reliance? Self-reliance is to know deeply that we can make it and that we can provide for ourselves emotionally and physically. That all is going to be taken care of. To feel whole rather than trying to find external sources or beings to become whole. There is a big urge lately to feel self-reliant. Especially at these times that we are going through right now, of great uncertainty and so many shifts in all aspects of life. No one is an exception right now! Many times Self-reliance is misinterpreted as confidence. But confidence is a superficial state that relies on external factors, while self-reliance is an inside matter. Confidence usually comes from possessions, positions, or intellectual knowledge. Self-reliance comes from surrender, trust, inner connection & experiential knowing.

freedom of the body

The freedom of the body

There is a way of doing Asana without the slightest effort. Movement and alignment are like an expressive song that arises from the body. The freedom from tension in the upper body (the head, neck, arms, shoulders, and torso) that is produced by the acceptance and release into gravity through the lower part of the body: through grounding (legs, hips, knees, and feet) is the origin of lightness and presence. This expressive freedom is , like the waves to the ocean. Yoga is not a restrictive alignment or control of the body. Yoga must bring freedom to the body-mind. Not the freedom of indulging but the freedom that comes from the internal balance of clear intention, right order, and listening with precise and lucid perception to...
