Tools, practices and methods
The world is full of amazing tools that may be perfectly suited to accelerate our journey, but often we only discover them through chance encounters, and can lose years being stuck in sub optimal loops.
Our endeavor is to catalog a growing list of tools and eventually match them to you based on your context.
Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a form of Japanese bodywork therapy that involves applying pressure to specific points on the body using fingers, thumbs, palms, and sometimes elbows or knees. It is based on traditional Chinese medicine principles, particularly the concept of meridians or energy channels through which vital energy (Qi) flows. Shiatsu aims to balance the body's energy flow and promote overall health and well-being by stimulating the body's natural healing abilities. It is often performed on a floor mat or futon and can be adapted to suit individual needs and preferences. Shiatsu is known for its ability to relieve stress, tension, and muscle pain while enhancing relaxation and improving circulation.
Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini Yoga is a spiritual practice that aims to awaken the dormant energy believed to be coiled at the base of the spine, known as Kundalini. Through a combination of dynamic movements, breathing techniques, meditation, and chanting, practitioners seek to unlock this energy and allow it to rise through the body's energy centers (chakras), leading to spiritual enlightenment and self-realization. Kundalini Yoga is characterized by its emphasis on breathwork (pranayama), repetitive physical exercises (kriyas), and mantras to activate and balance the subtle energy within the body. It is often viewed as a powerful and transformative practice that can bring about mental clarity, emotional stability, and heightened awareness.
