Self-Healing

All animals and human cultures have various forms of self-healing technique, which is the basic form of self-care.

Self-healing is an intense therapeutic personal experience that enables you to better yourself and restore balance. Self-healing techniques are complementary for conventional therapies.

Each self-healing session is a one-on-one private class that is tailored to your needs in your unique condition. The student will learn and experience the traditional techniques and therapeutic benefits of Pranayama, Yoga Nidra and Reiki.

Prema will guide you through a combination of specific yogic breathing and visualisation techniques that will enable you to capture, store and direct your vital energy, activate your body’s inherent ability to restore heath, and to go deeper within the body and mind to release blockages.

You will learn the basic techniques of Pranayama to maximize the free flow of vital energy, both within and around the body and mind system.  The Yogic breathing technique is a safe entry into the practice of Pranayama with following benefits:

• Improved lung capacity
• Increased energy
• Lower blood pressure
• Enhance cognitive thinking
• Rebalance the two hemispheres of the brain
• Improved postures (release neck and upper back tensions, and hunched shoulders)

The full yogic breathing is a continuous, comfortable and deep breathing, which involves the smooth movements in the diaphragm, pelvic floor, intercostal, abdominal and back muscles.  The full yogic breathing consists of four parts – inhalation, holding a full breath, exhalation, and holding an empty breath.  Instead of forcing the breathing movement, we develop awareness of the flow of energy during the breathing.

Let us start by trying the simple and safe Cotton Ball Breathing, provided at the end of this page, which is a simple self-healing technique that anyone can practise at any time. It was instructed by Swami Haribrahmendranadna Tirtha, who is an author, teacher, and scholar of Yoga and Vedanta, as well as an experienced practitioner of Hatha Yoga and Pranayama.

Yoga Nidra is a safe and powerful ancient Tantric technique that gently guides the student to a state of deep relaxation with full awareness, a stage of consciousness between waking and deep sleep. It is the optimal state for the body and mind to rebalance and renew itself.

First mentioned in the Veda thousands of years ago, the application was re-discovered by Swami Satyananda and taught them in practicable forms for modern day students (Bihar School of Yoga). The general benefits are:

• Release persistent tensions in the body and mind
• Enhance cognitive performance, memory, mindfulness
• Improve sleep quality and regulate sleep pattern
• Improve concentration, thought patterns awareness and self confidence
• Diminish symptoms of anxiety and depression
• Reduce chronic pain and post-traumatic stress disorder
• Improve immune system function and reduce inflammation

Reiki healing takes place as a collaborative partnership between the teacher (healer) and the student (receiver). The receiver takes an active role throughout the session with intentions and awareness, while the healer guides the receiver to open for free-flowing energy.

Reiki is commonly known as “universal healing energy” or “spiritually guided life energy”. It was developed by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 1900s in Japan, based on his extensive travel and studies of different healing systems, most notably Tibetan Buddhism and Taoism in China and Japan. Reiki Master Mrs. Hawayo Takata brought the teaching of Reiki to the west after WWII.

Connecting us to our higher self, the Reiki Invocations for both the teacher and the student are:

• I will not be anger today
• I will not worry today
• I will do my work honestly today
• I will be grateful for all today
• I will be kind to all living beings today

Cotton Ball Breathing is my favour breathing practice. Simple and Powerful! It is a safe self-healing technique that anyone can practise at any time.

After a few minutes of this simple, deep and relaxing breathing exercise, you will notice an increase of energy, a lightness of the body and a calmer mind.

• Sit comfortably upright on a stable chair, with both feet flat on the ground
• With both palms facing up, relax fingers and rest hands comfortably on thighs
• Close eyes and mouth, then breathe through both nostrils
• Slowly extend the lengths of inhalations and exhalations at a comfortable pace
• Try to visualise a small fluffy cotton ball hanging in front of your nostrils, and then hold a mental image that the cotton ball is hanging steadily with each slow and steady inhale and exhale
• Whenever the exhalations become quick and short, simply go back to normal breathing
