Day 96: Breath Awareness. Design Your Breath, Design Your Life
By Rajib Kaur (India), Eindhoven, the Netherlands, 28 October 2017
This workshop will be conducted as a part of World Design Event. Participants will be introduced to the practice of breath awareness, descending from the ancient yogic science of the Himalayas.
Breath is a bridge between the body and the mind. If we maintain breath awareness while doing our day to day activities, we can learn to do our tasks more effectively by being fully present to the task at hand. In this workshop by Rajbir Kaur (India) participants will be introduced to the practice of breath awareness, descending from the ancient yogic science of the Himalayas.
Respiration is a source of energy and life to the living being. Yet most people remain unconscious of this process. According to yoga science, breath and mind are reciprocal. If a certain state of mind results in a certain mode of breathing, then conversely by adopting that mode of breathing consciously can evoke the corresponding state of mind. Concentration on the flow of breath is one of the best ways to attain control over the modifications of the mind. When all the modifications cease, and the mind is calm and tranquil, one finds great joy within. The basic principles in Breath Awareness is to eliminate the pause, jerks, noise and irregularities in the breath. And to make the breath; deep, smooth and continuous.
