How to balance your energy levels
There are several things that you can do to boost your energy levels. For instance, getting enough sleep, consuming a healthy diet, and reducing stress are elements that have an enormous effect on your energy levels, and therefore your physical health. Furthermore, practicing meditation and doing yoga also provide excellent energy distribution throughout your body. Below we will take a closer look at how the Wim Hof Method is a great way to get the most out of your meditation and yoga practice.
Meditation to release energy in your body
The first thing you can do to balance your energy is practicing breathing meditation. As breathing is vital for our physical well-being, breathing meditation is an important part of the Wim Hof Method. Practicing meditation on a daily basis offers many positive effects. For example, it can lower your blood pressure and reduce cardiac irregularities. The particular breathing exercises that the method uses share aspects with ancient techniques such as Tummo meditation. Tummo means ‘inner fire’ and combines breathing and visualization techniques to enable someone to control their body temperature. Once you master the breathing exercises of the method, you will be able to release energy in your body to help improve your physical health.
The power of yoga
Another great way to take care of your body is by practicing yoga. Yoga poses combined with deep breathing exercises get you harmonized with your energy, increases the blood flow in your body, and warms up your muscles, resulting in building up strength and flexibility in your muscles. It might even reduce chronic pain like arthritis, soreness and lower back pain. The Wim Hof Method includes breathing techniques similar to Pranayama breathing techniques, which increases your energy and lets it flow throughout your entire body. These techniques are an excellent way to get the most out of your yoga practice.
