We must keep our back straight in order to favor breathing without there being any blockages in its natural flow, we place our hands on the chest and the other on the stomach.

We breathe slowly through the nose, hold the air for a second and exhale slowly until the air is completely drained. When inhaling, the chest hand should move as little as possible. As we exhale, we push the air with the muscles of the abdomen.

The sixth chakra or ajna chakra is located on the forehead right in the middle of both eyes, and is what allows us the ability to intuit and direct our mind towards our goals. Its purpose is to show us the particular path in life, the path of self-learning, it helps us to learn to "learn" from our mistakes. If the sixth chakra is not well balanced our intuition will be diminished and we will have difficulties to visualize and project.

To practice this technique we must sit in a quiet place, adopt a comfortable posture and close our eyes. Concentrating on the point that is located right in the middle of the eyes and visualize an indigo blue color. We try to erase all thoughts from our mind and focus only on that point. Inhale and exhale: with each inhalation we can recharge it with energy, and with each exhalation, we eliminate everything that does not serve us.

This meditation technique is ideal to reduce migraines, nervous tips and insomnia, among other discomforts related to stress.

This is a technique that is widely used in psychological therapies to reduce stress and anxiety to get the body and mind to enter a deep state of relaxation. Through this technique, a series of imaginary images are connected with positive emotions, which serve to change negative thoughts and achieve an optimal state of well-being.

To begin with this technique we sit with our legs crossed and our back straight, we relax with a couple of deep breaths. And we begin to imagine that we are sitting in front of a mirror: we visualize every part of our body, from the tip of your head to the toes. We have to look at ourselves as if we were someone else, we analyze how we are dressed, hairstyles, our features and expressions. Then we imagine ourselves from behind. Then from above, below, and finally, take a panoramic view of ourselves.

It is an effective technique to control stress and anxiety, relieve insomnia and reduce the symptoms of certain types of chronic pain. It is based on the simple practice of tensing, or tightening, one muscle group at a time followed by a relaxation phase with release of tension.

To put into practice this exercise we lie on our back on a comfortable surface, with arms and feet stretched and hands turned up. We close our eyes and breathe deeply to eliminate tension. When we feel ready, we focus all our attention on the toes. Let's contract as much as we can and count to ten, and then relax. We do the same with every part of our body: the ankles, tendons, thighs, hips, abdomen, chest, hands, arms, neck and face. Let's concentrate on the sensation that remains after contracting and relaxing every muscle in the body.
