Furthermore, on a mental level, the lungs are the organ of grief.<\/p>\n<p>Through breathing exercises, trapped emotions can be released and &#8216;released&#8217;, creating space for new feelings and a positive attitude towards life.

The sensitivity of each point can provide information about imbalances in the body and its tissues (Santa Dhatu). Stimulating specific points regulates the functions of the associated tissues. Marma point massage can be used to relieve pain and improve metabolism, circulation, nutrition and tissue rejuvenation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-53hyd-77734be898cb9d643cf71a62f6878e75'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p data-fake-id='#toggle-id-13' class='toggler   av-inherit-font-color hasCustomColor'  itemprop=\"name\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-13'>Meditation<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-13' class='toggle_wrap  '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" ><div class='toggle_content invers-color av-inherit-font-color hasCustomColor'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Calm, clear and align the mind, relax the muscles and bring awareness to the here and now. These are the benefits of regular meditation. Meditation can be done simply sitting on a chair. It is enough to get rid of all possible external disturbances for a certain time and to concentrate your attention. The types of meditation are varied. It can be a guided or silent meditation. Aids such as a lit candle or other object can focus the mind and calm the thoughts. The frequency of our brain waves changes and a deep relaxation occurs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-1aymwd-2ed298d7268acfb800bfbd8aa74baa99 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3q5px-1796b8220e2e7a7722d7ddc04a277a2a\">\n#top .togglecontainer.av-3q5px-1796b8220e2e7a7722d7ddc04a277a2a p.toggler{\ncolor:#dbdbdb;\nbackground-color:#a66480;\n}\n#top .togglecontainer.av-3q5px-1796b8220e2e7a7722d7ddc04a277a2a p.toggler .toggle_icon{\ncolor:#dbdbdb;\nborder-color:#dbdbdb;\n}\n#top .togglecontainer.av-3q5px-1796b8220e2e7a7722d7ddc04a277a2a .toggle_wrap .toggle_content{\ncolor:#dbdbdb;\nbackground-color:#a66480;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='togglecontainer av-3q5px-1796b8220e2e7a7722d7ddc04a277a2a  avia-builder-el-15  avia-builder-el-no-sibling ' >\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-z8i51-369207808a35f0dd0f842604eeee14f3'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p data-fake-id='#toggle-id-14' class='toggler  activeTitle av-inherit-font-color hasCustomColor'  itemprop=\"name\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-14'>Prevention \/ Daily Routine <span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-14' class='toggle_wrap  active_tc' style='display:block;'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" ><div class='toggle_content invers-color av-inherit-font-color hasCustomColor'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Ayurveda is primarily a science that focuses on prevention.
