    Module 5: Mind body balance

    Synopsis:

    This module combines the theories, philosophies and correct postures to develop a balance between
    mind and body. Participants will be taught that meditation calms the mind and body, and then will
    leave the person feeling relaxed and refreshed. Developing mindfulness of the connections between
    mind and body is a form of intelligence just as important as IQ, EQ (emotional intelligence), or social
    intelligence. As awareness deepens, bodily sensations provide feedback and guidance about every
    aspect of life, from nurturing relationships to enhancing effectiveness at work. By learning some
    techniques participants can reduce stress, balance their life, and maximize their innate potential for
    health, creativity, and spiritual growth. Mind–body therapies explore the relationships between the
    mind, body, spirit, and behaviour upon the belief that the mind can regulate bodily functions and
    symptoms.
