You will learn to combine the use of sound, music, and breathwork—controlled breathing techniques, with Ragas (melodic patterns) to activate and balance energy centers in the body, through listening, meditation, and singing techniques.
Practicing Ragas fosters emotional stability by harmonizing the energy centers, promoting better awareness of emotions and thoughts. This enables conscious control over actions and responses, enhancing self-discipline and emotional regulation.
Incorporate 30–45 minutes of daily practice in the morning, focusing on listening to or chanting specific Ragas while maintaining awareness of your breath.
