“We can’t always change what’s happening around us, but we can change what happens within us.” -Andy
Ms. Vishu conducted a workshop on 19 Feb 2024 on Body Tapping and Meditation. She initiated the session with simple stretching and light exercises. Thereafter, she introduced us to the technique of ‘Body Tapping’. Tapping is a type of acupressure that operates on the many meridians, each of which has very particular locations on the body, to ensure the proper energy flow and bring the body into balance. The session helped the teachers in clearing obstacles that prevent the body’s stagnated energy from moving freely, which can improve mental clarity and emotional balance. The session ended with a guided meditation session which helped our teachers feel fresh and focused for the rest of the day.
