How Breathing can Change Your Life
Breathing is the greatest pleasure in life. -Giovanni Papini Most people take breathing for granted. Who could blame them? Your amazing and mysterious subconscious mind orchestrates this task for you day in and day out. Perhaps the only times that you might be aware of breathing is when you're at the gym, meditating, or heavens forbid, having a panic attack.

The Girl that Lost Four Senses
"Inhale fully through your nose, fill your belly with air, expand your ribs, exhale slowly through your mouth, releasing the air and settle into the comfort of your being,"

Be still the breath
The breath is steady, constant, doesn't care what is going on in the world around it. It just goes in, comes out, goes in, and comes out. Steady. Untouched by the activities around it.

Types of Meditations
Meditation is not just sitting down and being quiet. You may sit or lie down. It is your choice. You may close your eyes or not and you may have candles or not. The point is there is no right or wrong way with mediation. That is why there are so many ways to meditate. You can’t do it wrong as it is your higher self talking to you.

Meditation Matters and it Masters
There are millions of educational institutions across the globe, with hundreds of students every year placed in reputed firms with eye-catching packages. Then, why is the present younger lot unhappy and discontented? Several data show that youths are suffering from several mental health issues. The education system which is responsible to build the moral character in individuals has disastrously failed and, as a result, the youth’s perception and approach towards life have lost its control. The Hegemonic eco-system has been regularly bypassing our consciousness, with uninvited thoughts and ideas. With a rise in depression and suicide rates, it is very important to identify the positive forces and mechanisms which would help to build a healthy society.

Help Our Children Avoid Mental Health Issues
My name is Puneet Vatish and I am a devoted husband and father of 2 beautiful daughters. The past 10 years of my life have provided me with experiences that have turned my life on its head. In 2009, I realised my dream of owning a gym, however, I could not have predicted what was to follow. Power surges, divorce, family fall outs, massive debt, bailiffs and much more. These 10 years were enough to break anyone’s resolve and faith.

Mindfulness - How?
I keep getting told to be mindful. "Mindfulness is the key!" I keep getting told. Whether its my friends, partner, therapist...they all keep telling me the same thing. However, what exactly is "mindfulness"? At first I thought it had to do with self-awareness, and how my behavior effects others. Then, one day in group therapy, the therapist asks us all to close our eyes and be mindful of the things around us. He asked us to tap into our five sense.

MEDITATION: WASTE OF TIME? UNDERSTAND MINDFULNESS.
Mindfulness is a state in which you are completely aware of the impulses, thoughts and feelings that are affecting you. The power that this brings is immeasurable, since by understanding and creating a mindset for each of these aspects, we can achieve Emotional Balance, also known as the Emotional Intelligence soft skill.

The Anchor of Purpose
As a rather sensual, sensitive, and open Soul, I find that I am naturally more receptive to new ideas. I'm open to them all usually and I thoroughly enjoy the rush of energy that accompanies an idea I'd like to act on.

Self healing
I felt the need to create this post because now more then ever, us humans need a little more extra attention spent on ourselves. With everyday life’s activities our schedules get so hectic that sometimes we neglect our own physical being needs. Have you ever ran in to a busy human and they are all over the place and you ask them if they meditate? And they reply with; “whaat? I don’t have time for that! Look at my schedule!” Lol! This actually used to be me!!!

WHY DOES MEDITATION MAKE ME CRY
We live in a suppressive culture. On every level our culture teaches us, from birth to death, to suppress what we feel for the greater good. To suppress our opinions in case they cause trouble. To suppress our emotions to keep things nice. And often even, to suppress our abilities so as not to stick out from the crowd.
