Perfect
Breathing
Focus
on your breathing. Take a deep breath then exhale slowly. Repeat a couple of
times a day. You can bring equilibrium to your mental state by breathing
correctly. The first exercise in the ancient pranayama tradition—the art
of filling every part of your body with life-force or prana. Always take
longer to exhale so that the lungs are empty of stale air. Only then can oxygen
flow in. The body is the boat human beings are given to sail across the sea of
life. It is your duty to take care of it.
Rest,
Relaxation and Rejuvenation.
A
20 minute nap improves memory retention and Nike expects workers to ‘just do
it’ in their ‘quiet rooms.’ Meditation has the same effect, but delivers even
better benefits. Rest enables stress chemicals to subside after competing all
day. Non- competitive sports like walking, sailing, reading or socializing can
provide a relaxing change of pace.
Healthy
Food
Food
brings people together, allows human beings to feel satisfied and comfortable,
connects us with the earth and provides us with health. Freshly-cooked healthy
food, pure fresh air and yogic exercise nurture and enhance prana.
Positive Thinking
Positive
emotions like love, courage, humour, compassion wonder and peace create a
positive field. To infuse our lives with what poets call “the rapture of being”
is to create a positive field. Learning to create a positive field is an
important part of the climate of wellbeing.
