Pranayama

Through the practice of Pranayama, an individual is able to improve the strength of their diaphragm, the capacity of their lungs and the efficiency of the respiratory system. We increase both the amount of oxygen and vital life force (prana) entering the system. In time, we are able to maintain optimal and efficient breathing, increase concentration, vital energy and creativity. Pranayama also forms a bridge between mind, body and spirit, and is a complete Yogic path in itself for awakening latent energies.

Meditation

Meditation involves mindful thinking, but most of us do it too much. We get exhausted by the endless stream of worries, hopes, plans, fantasises and dialogues. Excessive thought and thinking not only will waste a great deal of your energy, but it will also start to affect the quality of your thoughts. A stressed and tired mind will become scattered and lost. To think in an effective manner, we require the occasional rest from thought and thinking, just as our body is not designed to be active throughout the entire day and night and requires sleep to function optimally. Meditation is any technique that soothes and relaxes the body and clears the mind.
