Ep. 78 - Breath of Life (with Michael Bijker - a podcast by Noor Kidwai

In this episode I speak with Yoga, Meditation and Breathwork expert Michael Bijker.  Michael helps people live a more fulfilling life.  We talk about how our minds work and how they create most of our suffering.  We talk about how in our society we chase comfort and try to escape negative feelings which is impossible. He talks about how meditation helps us have a different relationship with our thoughts and suffering.  

    Michael tells us how certain emotions cause tension and blockages in our bodies.  He talks about how you can use breathwork to become aware of these blockages and also to release them.  He explains to us the different types of breathing exercises.  He tells us the different benefits of using stronger, faster vs slower, calmer breathing techniques.  

    Michael also practices Qi Gong.  He explains what the practice is about.  He talks about how movements, breathing and focus can be used to open ourselves up.  He talks about the eastern concepts of Qi (Chinese Philosophy) and Prana (Yogic Philosophy).  Qi and Prana are seen as life-force and explain how they are viewed in different practices.
