Breathing & Chakra Meditation
The breath is our interface between the outside world and the internal one. Through it we receive air and life energy, vitalizing and strengthening us… Breathing & chakra meditation Correct breathing has to be learned, though.
Through breathing techniques and a conscious perception of breathing, tensions and blockades can be dissolved, illnesses can be prevented and symptoms of disease can be alleviated.
The lung capacity improves and a feeling of peace and tranquility comes over you. Correct breathing supports the stamina (mentally as well as physically) and everyday obstacles may be easier to overcome.
Chakras are the human body’s energy centers. You may imagine them as batteries in which energy is stored and from where energy is sent to the rest of the body by means of different canals.
Energy blockades may be dissolved through the perception and concentration of the 7 main chakras along the spinal column. Energy may flow freely and unimpeded again and at the same time your batteries are recharged.
Every chakra is assigned to one of the 5 elements (earth, water, fire, air and ether=space) and is associated with specific sounds and colors.

Trail running in your holiday in “Sand in Taufers”
Trail running is one type of long-distance running off the roads, thus it is taking place in mountainous terrain. Typical routes for trail runs are gravel paths, forest track, paths in parks, stone paths, and exercising paths in alpine terrain.

These will not only improve your physical endurance but also your skills to coordinate and increase your power of concentration. Your whole body will be stabilized by the trail run and your body will use more muscles than usually during the trail run.
