Basic Course

We sleep to get rid of the fatigue, the tiredness. But the stresses and emotions in our body are so deep. When you get frustrated, the frustration gets into every cell of your body. Frustration builds up to become anger. If you are angry, the anger filters into all the cells of the body. So we have to do some cleansing process within ourselves.

• HOW DOES IT WORK?
  The entire universe is governed by rhythms - the sun rises and sets, the tides rise and recedes, seasons come and go. The human body and mind has countless biological rhythms. When stress throws us off balance, chaotic rhythms are created within us. The mind wavers and oscillates between worries about the future and regrets about the past. These constant vacillations impair one's performance in creativity, concentration, at work, decision-making and increases relationship conflicts.
  
  The breath is the link between the mind and body. Like other natural rhythms, our breath also moves in specific patterns at particular times. Recall how you breathe when you are nervous? Or angry? Or relaxed...happy? Every emotion is instantly reflected in the rhythm of the breath. Disruptions of the natural rhythms of your breath cause you to feel uncomfortable, dissatisfied and unsettled.
  
  Your ups and downs, regrets, anxieties and fears will pass and fade away in your memory, but these emotional upheavals leave a toxic residue at a cellular level and much tension in the body. Gradually, over the years, when your system is saturated with impurities, you succumb to illness. Physically you begin to age prematurely. You may start to feel depressed, angry, stressed-out or burned-out.
  
  Breath is linked to the vital life force or bio-energy also known as chi within you. Lack of life energy results in lethargy and dullness. The simple, deep breathing techniques, which you will learn, open up your lungs to maximise the absorption of life-energy. Negative emotions such as anger and frustration that have been stored as toxins in the body are easily uprooted and eliminated from your body. The life-energy recharges the cells, keeping you youthful, with resilient health and brilliant clarity of mind. When we are fully charged, we feel alert, energetic, and on top of the world. Life energy is the foundation of health and well-being for one's body and mind.
  
  When we re-introduce natural rhythms into our breath, our body, mind and emotions can be brought back from disharmony to balance. The internal discord from past sorrows and disappointments is re-tuned into peace and serenity. After the practice, one is left calm and centered and when we feel good about ourselves, our entire life naturally improves. The effect is immediate and tangible.
