Live Q&A The Longevity Code: The Power of Relaxation in Our Lives

Relaxation is not just a luxury; it is a vital component of our overall health and wellbeing. In our fast-paced world, where stress and overwhelm are often the norm, incorporating moments of relaxation into your daily life can make a profound difference.

In this live Q&A session, we will explore why relaxation is essential for maintaining balance in both the body and mind.

Why is Relaxation Important?

Relaxation allows the body to switch from the stress-driven ‘fight or flight’ response to the restorative ‘rest and digest’ mode. When we consciously relax, we reduce the levels of stress hormones like cortisol, lower blood pressure, improve digestion, and give the mind space to clear and focus. Regular relaxation is essential for improving sleep quality, boosting immune function, and preventing burnout.

Key Benefits of Relaxation:

• Calms the Nervous System: Relaxation helps regulate the nervous system, lowering stress levels and bringing a sense of peace and mental clarity.
• Improves Focus and Concentration: A calm mind is more productive and creative, allowing you to focus better and make clearer decisions.
• Enhances Emotional Wellbeing: Relaxation techniques support emotional resilience, reducing anxiety and enhancing your mood.

How Ayurveda Supports Relaxation

Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, offers many tools and practices to cultivate relaxation and balance. Practices like abhyanga (self-massage), deep breathing exercises, and guided pranic relaxation are designed to calm the Vata dosha (the air and space element), which is associated with restlessness, anxiety, and overactivity. Ayurveda recognises the importance of maintaining balance in mind and body, and it provides us with practical ways to promote relaxation in everyday life.

During this live session, we will also guide you through a soothing pranic relaxation, helping you connect to your inner calm and release any tension held in the body.
