    Understanding Rest, Relaxation, and Better Sleep

    In this new episode, I'm sharing a discussion with Lilly Balch from the Space Studio in Clapham, London and the Morning Ritual Podcast.  In this conversation with Lilly, we mainly discuss how to rest, relax, and restore – including issues related to insomnia and sleep.  These states may sound similar, but they are not.  Together, we explore how they differ and how each one contributes to reaching a state of calm and peace, which is essential for feeling well and happy. I hope you enjoy our conversation, and thank you very much for listening to my podcast.  Sit back, relax, and enjoy listening to this episode. And if you're interested, you can also listen to Lilly Balch's podcast directly using this link: https://www.lillybalch.com/podcast or subscribe to 'The Morning Ritual' on your favourite podcast platforms.

    Part Six of 'Touching the Body with the Breath': Breath In the Head

    The final exploration on this breathing journey through the body is the head. When we breathe, the beginning and conclusion of the flowing breath are held within the head as air passes through the nostrils, connecting us to the surrounding space. Yoga philosophy believes that inhaled air carries 'universal energy', akin to a life force or prana. Conversely, when we exhale, we release 'biological energy'—the energy generated by our body. With this episode's meditation, enjoy exchanging those energies, which fosters our connection with the universe and those around us.

    In this fourth episode, 'Touching the Body with the Breath,' we discover something that is always within us, but that is sometimes suppressed and forgotten: the Silent Breath. It manifests itself in the most secret and sacred area of our body, near the heart and inside our chest, and can be found only if we listen carefully. Your reward in finding it is peace!

    In the second part of the series, 'Touching the Body with the Breath,' we delve into the most concealed, timid, and reserved section of our spine: the tail, also known as the coccyx.
