We have curated a set of meditations and practices to be conducted online via internet keeping in context the ongoing pandemic and the general environment of gloom. These are part of some of our practices at AZIMVTH.
NEED
- Lungs: Throat and lungs are directly affected causing difficulty in breathing. The course ‘Ritual of Breath-work’ teaches how to enhance breathing and lung capacity. It also attends to anxiety and depression.
- Physical exercise: Those who are venturing out of their homes sparingly need compact exercise routine that is more than just a form of physical exercise. The course ‘Concordance of Sun Salutationes’ is a solution.
- Sleep: The prevailing uncertainty adversely affects sleep that makes a person more susceptible to ailments. The course ‘Synchrony of Soul & Spirit’ teaches how to self-induce meditative rest & relaxation.
- Close-quarters: Most parts of the world have travel restrictions: not only on flights but also on driving out of homes and neighbourhoods within proximity. Staying indoors leads to eyes looking at short distances only. The course ‘Aspirations with Candela’ involves a variety of eye exercises leading to vivid visualisations of astral-travelling.
- Immunity: Prevention is better than cure. Heightened immunity leads human body to resist new infections. The course ‘Resolve and Make it Happen’ teaches an advanced meditation culminating in a resolve that the meditator has high immunity.
- General well-being: There is an over-all need of having generally a good mental and physical health as a result of spiritual practice. The course ‘Mantra Chants’ teaches specific mantras and how to invoke them with accurate sounds, diction, and pronunciation.
