Solo – Friday, March the 30th, 2012, Anand Krishna Information Center (AKIC) Solo held the first round of Neo Self Empowerment Meditation. It was attended by friends from Tourism High School of Surakarta and some friends who are regular participants. We all had a good time.
Meditation is a healthy lifestyle. Oftentimes we don’t give enough attention to our body. We rarely listen to them due to our business. As stated by Pak Triwidodo as the facilitator that our body consists of trillions of living cells. Every kilogram of our body consists of 1 trillion cells and they are all alive, living cells. In the meditation session, such attention paid to the body was done by stretching our hands, legs, and other parts of the body, then relaxing them afterwards. By doing so, we give relaxation to our muscles and instant rejuvenation to our body.
After that, the participants were taught about how to breathe correctly. As we get older, we tend to forget that the correct way to breathe is through and using our abdomen, or we call it the abdominal breathing, and by and by we switch it into the chest breathing due to our laziness and ignorance. Doing abdominal breathing is really helpful, beneficial, and healthy. A very simple lesson that we have to re-learn.
In the question and answer session, the participants were enthusiastic by coming up with a lot of questions related to the practice that had been just done.
May this togetherness create peace and serenity to the surrounding.
Thank you.
