Breath as Medicine: A Tibetan Mini-Retreat

07:00 PM – 09:00 PM
US/Central

BODY-MIND-AND-SPIRIT-240X240

Co-sponsored with Ligmincha Texas and Asia Society

Guests can experience how Tibetan spiritual traditions utilize mind-body practices as a way to heal one’s body, energy, and mind. Over the last few decades, there has been a growing interest in mind-body practices and their therapeutic use. One of the most potent mind-body medicines is the use of breath, sometimes known as prana, qi, or rlung in Tibetan. In fact, many times these practices are called mind-breath-body practices. In this mini-retreat, Tibetan master Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche will share his knowledge of these ancient practices and how to apply them in our modern Western setting.
