Tools, practices and methods
The world is full of amazing tools that may be perfectly suited to accelerate our journey, but often we only discover them through chance encounters, and can lose years being stuck in sub optimal loops.
Our endeavor is to catalog a growing list of tools and eventually match them to you based on your context.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy(CBT)

Jivamukti Yoga classes typically follow a themed structure, which may include a warm-up, dynamic asana practice, breath work, meditation, chanting, and relaxation. The practice is often accompanied by music and incorporates elements of Bhakti (devotional) and Karma (selfless service) yoga.

Hygge is creating a comfortable social and emotional environment for yourself. It’s about who you choose to surround yourself with and what you choose to spend your time doing.

Now a days a gentle version of it is even used on the face as a facial technique. Your technician may apply mild pressure, and gradually increase intensity to determine how much force you can handle.
