Duration: 3 hours

INTRODUCTION

The respiratory system is a subtle yet dynamic system embedded in the human body. It is one the system which creates a constant communication between our internal and external environment. Respiratory tract anatomically begins at the nostril continues through the nasal cavity, merges at the back of the oral cavity to form the throat. Down below the throat, in front of the oesophagus, the respiratory tract is modified into a larynx, the voice box. It continues down into the centre of the chest as the trachea. The end of the trachea is at the beginning of two sturdy bronchus which permeates into the lung tissue through repeated branching divisions. The end of this is at the alveolus, the grape-like air sacs laden with the capillary network which allows for gaseous exchange. Marvellously structured, the respiratory system is the core system responsible for life to exist.

Breathing techniques called as Pranayama in the yogic system allows for the preservation and regulation of both the health and function of the respiratory system. A dynamic physical stretching of the body is also pivotal in maintaining the health of the respiratory system. Many respiratory diseases can easily be kept at bay and proven to be reversed altogether by these practices!

TESTIMONIALS

During the Manipuraka session initiated by Master Mani, I felt my body is lifting up, arms going to fly, a lot of energy inside the navel and spine, like a volcano inside. I naturally want to bend backward into Chakrasana (wheel pose) and move with the energy within the 4 to 5 days right after the Manipuraka, I’ve got nice sensations at the Trikuti (center of the eyebrows) and so much living in the present that time. It’s just beyond what I could comprehend.

Marina Borodina

I’m surprised that my body flow into asanas (postures), mudras (hand gestures) and hands drawing yantras spontaneously and naturally…the movement of energy is just amazing.

Navanesan

It’s really amazing and my energy flows nicely leading to various gestures and body movements that never happen in my life before. I feel fresh and all my strained muscles are healed after doing Manipuraka, my energy level has increased and had a much better sense of awareness and alertness where I am now able to notice things that I have never noticed before. Manipuraka, it works!

Priya Tee

What really impresses me is the energy I experience can heal myself and others.

Kelly Gee

My mother felt relieved when I performed Universal Yoga Healing for her leg pain. I feel more in tune with myself, more positive and my intuition has sharpened as I observe my daily activities…

Peggy Chan

YP, our 2 months old puppy, was very sick and hadn’t eaten for 2 days. Not knowing what else to do, as the vet clinic was closed, I tried Universal Yoga Healing on the weak, motionless pup. To our great surprise, the pup got up and walked over to his bowl to feed! The funny part was Tanesh, my son exclaimed, ‘Look…Amah made some magic on YP!’ now YP is growing healthily.

Meera Nathan

It was amazing for me to experience immediate relief from neck pain during the Manipuraka workshop practical and I am now fully cured of cervical spondylosis!

Nisha Chang

Manipuraka deepened my understanding of universal energy (chi or prana). I experienced self healing and can feel the flow of universal energy through me when healing other. It’s very positive.

Sharon Loo

I found myself moving gracefully from simple warm-ups to Tai Chi steps, follwed by a series of classic hand gestures, of which I had no previous experience. The movements were spontaneous and the rhythm varied and sometimes paused. I was awashed by feelings of peace and being loved.

Pavani Tuladhar

After practising Manipuraka & UniYoga Healing, I am relieved of my chronic backache.

Melissa Chan

The Manipuraka workshop is testament to how it is important to learn and know our own body. When we speak to our body, it listens and becomes one with us. That is how I perceive Manipuraka. It is also not too complicated to follow the movements which is good . I had a very pleasant experience and thankful for it. The world needs more positive healing energy.

Usha

Manipuraka workshop was awesome! It made me realize how we are all energy beings and that the universe is ready to guide and support us at all times. It was a great moment when I got to experience myself being moved by the energy around, me without any effort.
Urdhva Retas made me realize how intelligent human beings are but how sad these types of teachings were limited to a certain category of people alone. Huge thanks to MAYI and of course Master Manisekaran, for exposing us to these essential techniques needed for human beings to evolve and help one another in this world that we share. Such simple practice with a huge impact. I’m excited to see what changes would happen within and around me with consistent and persistent practices.
