5min guided relaxation & listening mindfulness practice

Ask a Finished Yogi Are you able to just stop? Are you in control of your thinking and your emotional reactivity? Manish Singh explains our addiction to doing.

Asked a Finish Yogi Many people are feeling mixed emotions as we adjust to the current uncertainties created by the Covid-19 situation. For some of us, being at home - with no or less work - has left us with feelings of boredom and discomfort with having less to 'do'. Manish Singh discusses boredom in relation to the practice and how it can be a good thing.

Manish applies our 5mind model to a 20min practice

Ask a Finished Yogi Manish Singh talks about 'thinking about thinking' whilst you practice and how this is a step in the right direction as we train our mind to become more present.

Finished Yogi Manish Singh talks through the practice of flapping (technical term: flapasana 😉) The practice of ‘Flapping’ involves raising your arms above your head as you inhale and lowering them as you exhale. If you’ve ever done yoga, it’s like the very first part of a sun salutation. It’s a brilliant way to warm-up, loosen and expand your entire breathing apparatus. It's a great way to start your day. Flapping will teach you what a full, freeing breath feels like, whether you move your arms or not. Tension in your breathing – especially in your diaphragm – is the keystone (the locking piece) for all the tension in your body. You have long-held structural body tension that is the accumulation of decades of reactivity and stress. It is by far the number one most harmful thing in your life, and must be dealt with in order to live well (healthy, happy and successful). The practice of flapping will move you gently, strongly and directly in that direction.
