Humanity through the ages has been fascinated by the planets and stars that surround our world in the vastness of space. We have projected different qualities of our psychological and spiritual nature onto these celestial bodies. Through the following breath and movement practices we can re discover these hidden aspects of ourselves necessary for leading richer and more effective lives.
The best way to learn these wonderful practices is from a teacher or in a class you can find these through us at the Self & Soul Center. Another wonderful source of classes is the Sufi Ruhaniat International (search through their calendar page).
