OMPlace Studio: Restorative practice on Full Moon

Saturday, 3 October 2009

Restorative practice on Full Moon

Based on the yogic viewpoints ,We should do less intense asana practice ,or completely do not do any on the new moon or the full moon.

It was the full moon ( Mooncake festival ) last Saturday , so the morning session was done with the gentle & relaxed floor practice integrating with two restorative poses -rejuvenating Viparita Dandasana ( Inverted Staff Pose ) and unwinding Viparita Karani ( inverted pose ). This approach i find works perfectly for these two typical examples -A stressful banker and An' exerciseholic' -who crave destress and balance for their 'imbalance'.

Healing is the state of inheriting balance and harmony with our highest purpose. When an organ or bodypart is healthy , it produces a natural resonant frequency in harmony with the rest of the body when the vibration of a part of the body is out of harmony, we have "dis-ease".

The practice of singing bowl which produces soothing resonant sound as a tool to promote healing .It is also a type of energy medicine that create the deep feel of peace and wellbeing" space" in which people can get healed from stress disorder , depression , the emotional rollercoaster and more.
