The SKY breath meditation uses the powerful Sudarshan Kriya breathing technique to bring the mind back to the present moment and connect you to your inner power. Based on ancient Vedic wisdom, this unique breathing practice uses various rhythms of the breath to balance your emotions and give you a boost of energy.

Souvent, nous nous tourmentons avec la colère et les regrets du passé ou avec l'anxiété liée au futur. Le mental vacille entre les deux, ce qui nous déconnecte du moment présent, là où se trouve le bonheur véritable. La SKY Méditation du Souffle comporte la puissante technique de respiration Sudarshan Kriya, qui ramène le mental dans le moment présent et nous met en contact avec notre pouvoir intérieur.

Basée sur l'ancienne sagesse védique, cette pratique de respiration unique comprend l'utilisation de divers rythmes respiratoires pour équilibrer nos émotions et nous donner un regain d'énergie. Nous obtenons la concentration et la clarté nécessaires pour relever les défis de la vie avec le sourire. À mesure que le mental et les émotions s'harmonisent, nous constatons une diminution considérable du stress et de l'anxiété et une amélioration de notre santé globale. De nombreux participants témoignent du soulagement de divers problèmes de santé aigus et chroniques. En outre, les participants apprennent une pratique qui peut être facilement intégrée dans leur routine de soins quotidienne.
