How The Techniques Work

These techniques are very effective and safe biological exercises that have a cumulative effect, both in their alignment during one practice and in their action after a sequence of several practices. They mobilize the spinal cord and act upon the nervous, endocrine, respiratory and circulatory systems.

The physical techniques promote the regulation of weight by stimulating the endocrine system. They improve cerebral irrigation through the positions, thus enhancing tissue elasticity, motor coordination and body consciousness, by the retrieval of relevant neuronal connections.

The purification techniques promote internal hygiene of the stomach, intestines, maxillary cavity and bronchi, while also acting upon plexuses and glands.

The respiratory exercises produce an extra quota of vital energy and increase the capacity of the lungs. They establish a reconnection between the conscious and the unconscious levels, promoting emotional stability.

The relaxation exercises enhance the cumulative effects of the previous techniques and their absorption, managing stress by building and directing the positive self-awareness that results from the practice, enabling the anticipation of goals.

The concentration and meditation techniques bring a higher level of lucidity and self-knowledge.
