Daily meditation discussions include practicing techniques of pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses from the mind), followed by dharana (mental awareness) which help to relax, concentrate and build internal awareness leading to dhyana (continued awareness). Topics related to the philosophy of yoga, the structures of the yogic system, the yogic and meditative lifestyle, the positive effects of mantras (sound vibrations) and self-study are discussed during these sessions. Daily personalized Pranayama sessions promote breathing techniques that lead to control of pranas (energy) and the mind. Personalized yoga sessions focus on asanas accompanied by an awareness of one's energy. Soothing and healing therapies complement the mindful meditation and yoga sessions. Ananda’s unique Dhyana meditation programme harmonizes the physical, mental & spiritual faculties, balances chakras leading to spiritual enlightenment, stimulates reflex points to restore energy flow in the body, improves cardiovascular and circulatory health, reduces stress, improves circulation, boosts the immune system, improves memory and normalizes sleep patterns & blood pressure.
