A Guided Practice for Body and Mind
A guided practice integrates body and mind through specific postures and awareness. Begin by concentrating on the toes, then move awareness upward, relaxing each body part. Coordinate breath with movement, observing the stomach's expansion and contraction. Perform deliberate contractions and stretches, noting the sensations in muscles and joints. These movements influence the body's energy centers and glands, creating internal harmony. The postures express one's character and serve as preventive healing. Sitting in a stable posture allows the spine and diaphragm to relax, increasing lung capacity and heart efficiency. This state filters thoughts, retaining the beneficial and releasing the negative. Self-healing arises from utilizing the innate tools provided by nature. Conclude by consciously replacing negative thoughts with those beneficial for all beings, supported by vibrational chanting.
"These postures are influencing very important parts of the body and the glands to create peace and harmony."
"Root out the negative thoughts which give trouble to us personally and to others. Develop the good thoughts which are good for us and for others."
