Learning to control and deepen one’s breath aids in achieving mental clarity, heightened focus, and overall relaxation. These practices are extremely important in learning to manage our emotions. Through our mindful breathwork training, we teach our martial artists to gain a control of the most important thing, themselves.
5. Meditation: Mindfulness and meditation are central components of the Mind, Body, and Spirit Training. Regular meditation practices promote mental resilience, emotional balance, and increased concentration. Participants develop a greater sense of self-awareness and learn to manage stress effectively. Practicing single pointed focus in our meditation increases our awareness, calmness, and increases our neural plasticity. Through meditation we may further our knowing of ourselves helping our understanding grow. Instilling endless calm through the river of chaos that is life, our meditation caries us where no other tools can.
