Breathing Yoga

Breathing yoga is an amazing healing practice that everyone can learn and make use of in their everyday lives. In breathing yoga, you will literally breathe out suppressed emotions, fears, negative thoughts, painful memories, traumas, as well as belief systems and programming that hinder you from becoming the person you truly want to be. Stress, depression, anger, traumas , anxiety and panic attacks can likewise be addressed by the practice of breathing yoga.

Breathing yoga techniques originated from the ancient Hindu discipline of pranayama, a breathing exercise that controls the prana or the life force which is also known as the breath of life. By taking control of the prana, the power that your mind and your emotions have over you is released and directed towards the spirit, transferring all the power now to your higher consciousness or what others call your connection to the divine power. This ability to connect to the divine energy is what makes breathing yoga a very powerful healing tool.

When you regularly experience being in a higher state of consciousness brought about by your breathing yoga practice, you will find that you now possess a healthy detachment from your feelings and your thoughts, giving you a greater sense of wisdom, objectivity and clarity about your life and the world around you. This also means that your emotions and your thoughts are now in union with your spirit, giving you a sense of oneness and wholeness -- of unity -- which is why the practice is called breathing yoga because yoga means "union with God".

There are many types of breathing yoga methods one of which is called Conscious Rebirthing. Conscious Rebirthing is a breathing exercise done initially with a coach who guides you through a series of breath variations that help cleanse your body of toxic emotions, calm your mind and bring you to a higher level of awareness. The exercise is done in a quiet and dimly lit room with only the coach and the person doing the breath-work present. A session can take from an hour and a half to two hours, sometimes more, and is done on a regular basis until you gain mastery of the technique to do it on your own.

I recommend breathing yoga to:

• people who are tired of being slaves to their emotions
• people who feel paralyzed by the thoughts they create in their minds
• people who find themselves trapped in recurring life patterns and are prepared to break the cycle permanently
• people who feel manipulated and oppressed by guilt, insecurities, self-doubt, phobias and belief systems instilled in them since childhood
  
• people suffering from diseases and believe they could win the battle by acquiring a new attitude and more positive outlook in life but don't know how to go about it
  

And lastly, if you believe that only you, and you alone, should be the master of your own life, if you are committed to break through your own fears and go beyond the limits your mind and life experiences have built against you, then the first step to freedom begins with breathing yoga.

Mind Soul Body Healing

Mind Soul Body Healing comes in many ways. Various techniques and programs for mind soul body healing, from ancient healing arts to modern methods, are all designed and developed for cleansing and healing our thoughts, bodies and souls in order for us to live fuller, happier and more meaningful lives.

Mind Soul Body Healing is a practice that all human beings should imbibe and embrace into their lives. We are, after all, spiritual beings housed in human bodies, equipped to think for ourselves and have human experiences. We are not merely human bodies who just happen to have souls with everything expiring all at the same time once the life cycle has ended. As a matter of fact, the physical body has an expiration date and so does the mind -- sometimes it even expires ahead of the body -- however, our souls do not.

Everyone wants to lead healthier and longer lives. In fact, the fight against aging and stress is evidently a global issue and a huge business. People invest so much time, money and energy on exercise, vitamins, supplements and healthy food just to keep their bodies and mental states youthful, healthy and strong. This is all well and good and I myself believe in maintaining a healthy and strong body as well as a sound mind, free of stressful thoughts and negativity.

However, it is not enough to focus only on the physical aspects of our being. If the spirit is neglected and allowed to deteriorate, fester and even expire, how much fun or fulfilling a life do you think you would have? What use would a perfectly fit and ageless body be to you if you are continually depressed, angry or consumed by fear? How enjoyable would your life truly be if your perfect memory cannot let go of the hurt and offenses others have done to you?

Mind Soul Body Healing addresses your entire being as a physical, mental and spiritual entity. It is not enough that you merely work on one aspect of who you are. You must work on all areas of your humanity, devote time and energy on each area and nurture them all as one so you can reach and attain your highest potential as a human being.

Mind Soul Body Healing is for everyone. Anyone can embark on a mind soul body healing practice regardless of religion, race, age, gender, educational background, weight, height or financial status. The human spirit does not concern itself with the material world. It does not judge nor does it measure a person’s status in life. It cannot distinguish a rich man from a poor man. It does not care whether you have a PhD or dropped out of high school. The spirit knows of only two things: it is either healthy or ailing. Mind soul body healing can teach a toxic mind and an unhealthy spirit about forgiveness, detachment, self-awareness, compassion, integrity, accountability, truth and charity, and by doing so, free you from feelings of guilt, blame, resentment, anger, insecurity, loss and fear.

Imagine living a truly peaceful life in total harmony with your world and the people around you no matter where you are and who you are with. Imagine waking up free from pain, positive about things to come and always grateful for everything you have and everyone around you. Imagine going through your day feeling empowered and undaunted by obstacles that come your way. Imagine being in full control of your mental and emotional faculties when caught in an unforeseen event enabling you to make fast and clear decisions without giving in to doubt or panic. Imagine being fearless and detached about other people's opinions; taking nothing they say personally and always being objective and secure about who you are and what you want in your life. Imagine knowing how to love unconditionally, without expecting anything in return yet receiving the kind of love you also deserve without having to ask for it. Imagine being happy and proud for other people’s accomplishments without feeling any less successful about your own achievements and victories.

That is what mind soul body healing can do for you, and believe me, it can do so much more. If this is the kind of life you want to achieve for yourself; if you want to be free from the issues of your past; if you want to remove the recurring patterns in your life that hinder you from your goals and if you are sick and tired of being a slave to your emotions or of being your own worst enemy, then the time has come for your mind soul body healing.
