SKY BREATHING MEDITATION COURSES (AGES 18 +)
UNLEASH THE HIDDEN HEALING POWER OF THE BREATH
EVERY EMOTION HAS A CORRESPONDING PATTERN OF BREATH. FOR EXAMPLE, THE RHYTHM OF BREATH INCREASES AUTOMATICALLY AS THE BODY TRIES TO DEAL WITH ANY STRESSFUL SITUATION. SIMILARLY, OUR BREATHING PATTERNS AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE WHENEVER WE FEEL SADNESS, DEPRESSION, ANGER, OR FEAR. THE SAME HOLDS TRUE FOR POSITIVE EMOTIONS AS WELL.
SKY BREATHING MEDITATION UTILIZES SPECIFIC RHYTHMS OF THE BREATH TO QUICKLY AND EASILY ELIMINATE STRESS, REVITALIZE THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, AND BRING GREATER CLARITY AND FOCUS TO THE MIND. IT DOES THIS BY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE NATURAL CONNECTION THAT ALREADY EXISTS BETWEEN THE BODY, THE BREATH, AND THE MIND.
THE 3-DAY, 6-HOUR, SKY COURSE IS A STEP-BY-STEP PRACTICAL APPROACH TO MAKING YOUR MEDITATION PRACTICE EASY, POWERFUL AND ENJOYABLE.
