Nine Breath Method Circle
We breathe not only to take in oxygen (as a fuel supply for our bodily processes) and to expell carbon dioxide (the 'waste'), but our breathing is also an energy exchange with the rest of the world.
Breathe animates our body. It has been said that inhaling and exhaling symbolizes the alternating rhythm of life and death, the manifestation of, and re-absorption back into, the Universe. Many ancient people believed that our breathe is the vehicle of the soul. In Greek the word for soul and air were synonymous: pneuma. In the Vedas of India the vital principle, self, or soul was called 'Atman' or 'Atmen', which also means air and which is recognizable to us in an other Greek word fro air: 'atmos', from which we derive our word for the atmosphere.
Lotus Oasis Retreats offers unique type of Pranayama using a technique called, "The Nine Breath Method" or Tumo from the chinese tradition. This type of Breathe work is perhaps the most beneficial for the mind and body, because when you deal with the breathe, you are dealing not only with the incoming and outgoing air to the lungs, you are also dealing with the feelings that are produced through the Qi that surge through your body. You will learn how to sensitize yourself to the Qi, and allow it to flow unimpeded and effortlessly through you.
The goal of this circle is to energize your body, feel a connection to the ALL, experience bliss, ground oneself, and stimulate compassion. To awaken oneself to one's true nature is to become fully conscious.
