When finding a healthy outlet to express emotions and release past trauma, we all have a preferred method that initiates healing. Some choose physical outlets such as exercise, while others prefer various forms of traditional therapy such as behaviour, cognitive, or psychotherapy in clinical settings. But what if there was a method that meshed the artistic expression of the mind and body movements and applied psychological theory and cognitive functions?
"Be still for one song (5 minutes) per day, close your eyes and breathe with the bell. Your mind will clear, your body will relax, and your life will change."
The power of 5 minutes can change your life. But, unfortunately, with the constant busyness that every day brings, it can be hard to get a few minutes to yourself.
But what could setting aside 5 minutes a day do for you? Well, 5 minutes of hype music can excite you, 5 minutes of silence can distill peace, and even 5 minutes of talking can help express built-up emotions.
We lack the mental clarity and a sense of presence needed to restore our minds and heal our bodies. This is why so many people today embraced the ancient practice of Yoga. Yoga can be traced back to Northern India 5000 years ago, which was used to bring harmony between mind and body. Since it was initially developed as a way to physically and spiritually prepare for guided meditation, it has evolved into a physical and mental exercise system designed to promote health and well-being.
