"The yoga pose is not the goal. Becoming flexible is not the goal. Standing on your hands is not the goal. The goal is serenity. Balance. Truly finding peace in your own skin.”

Picture of The Day

Water Meditation

Inspired by Bruce Lee and the amazing science of water and health. In order to envision breathing and relax the mind, this meditation makes use of the source of life as a tool.

Water has always been a place of inspiration and healing. Use the harmonic waves of the water to help you relax throughout this meditation while concentrating on your breathing and thoughts.

Water is a terrific tool to help meditation because of its inherent advantages for the body and mind, especially if you have difficulties unwinding or concentrating. For instance, practicing meditation in the shower can help you block out outside distractions and maintain your present-moment attention.

Benefits:

  • Warm water can decrease stress hormones and balance serotonin levels, which help regulate mood, relaxation, and more.

  • Even the color of water affects us both cognitively and effectively, making us feel more comfortable.

  • Submerging your body but keeping your head out can help you breathe easier.

  • Water can help relax the muscles, joints, and bones for better meditation.

How:

For best practice, choose a water source that is still like a bathtub, hot tub, etc., where you won’t be bothered by distracting noises that can reverberate underwater.

Get in the water and get comfortable with the temperature.

Begin to focus on your breathing.

Submerge your body but keep your face above the water.

While keeping your ears below water but mouth and nose above, close your eyes and begin to meditate, focusing on your breath.

Pair your breathing with the harmonic sounds and wave patterns.

Visualize your breath going out like ripples and returning.

Continue to relax your body with the flow of water.

😇 POSITIVE NEWS OF THE DAY!

In order to greet fans a happy New Year, more than a dozen panda cubs gathered in China.

The video captures the moment the panda babies were taken outside to play for the first time in public, and carried by staff members to a playground with bright decorations.

The keepers had milk bottles ready to give the cubs as they explored their own habitat.

The Chinese government has created multiple giant panda reserves, and conservation efforts like these have contributed to a rise in the panda population over recent decades.

4 Yoga Poses To Help Reduce Anxiety

Release tension and find stillness at the end of a hectic day with poses and breathwork that revive your spirit.

AS YOU PRACTICE Take long, slow breaths to move the prana downward. On your inhalations, fill your lungs to near capacity— a “middle ground” breath that’s not too long (which can create tension) and not too short (which may not sustain your energy). Let the breath create a sense of spaciousness and opening in your chest, and try releasing long, grounding exhalations. Hold each pose for three to five breaths, unless otherwise noted.

Level: Beginner–intermediate

Good for: Restoring energy & reducing stress

Props needed: One blanket

Intention: Breath

Reflection: As you inhale, silently repeat the sound So, and as you exhale, silently repeat the sound Hum. So Hum means “I am That, That I am” in Sanskrit.

Additional benefits: Stretches the back, hips, and hamstrings

1. Siddhasana (Adept’s Pose), variation After warming up with several rounds of Cat-Cow Pose, sit cross-legged with your right leg in front. Hinge at your hips as you walk the hands forward. Pull your shoulder blades down your back, and extend your sternum forward. Come up, switch legs, and repeat.

2. Adho Mukha Svanasana (downward facing Dog Pose) Come to your hands and knees. On an exhalation, lift your hips up to the sky. Try to evenly distribute your weight between your arms and legs. Press your arms forward as you pull your thighbones back.

3. Anjaneyasana (Low Lunge) Step your right foot forward between your hands. Drop your left knee to the ground. Inhale, and reach your arms up. Exhale, and reach your tailbone down. Step back into Downward Dog, then switch sides.

4. Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Bridge Pose) Lift your hips into Bridge Pose, with your feet hip-width apart and knees stacked over your ankles. Interlace your fingers behind your back, and extend your arms toward your feet. Exhale to release. End with Savasana.
