Key Techniques of Tamarkoz:

• Mental Relaxation:

  Develops control of the neural circuitry of the brain, consciously slowing down brain waves. This halts habitual interfering thought patterns, diminishes emotional reactions, and prepares us physically and mentally for concentration.

• Meditative Movements (Movazeneh®):

  Movazeneh® is the Sufi art of balancing and harmonizing the body and mind. It includes specific postures as well as slow-motion movement exercises which are done in coordination with our breath and with complete concentration. Movazeneh is one of the five techniques of Tamarkoz, and Tamarkoz® as a whole aligns, balances, and harmonizes the energy fields of the body so that one becomes receptive and in harmony to realize his/her hidden abilities.

• Breathing Exercises:

  Focuses on increasing respiratory capacity and controlling the rhythm and duration of breathing. This ensures maximal oxygenation, helps to regulate other vital processes, and reduces reactivity.

• Deep Relaxation:

  Teaches muscular control, and means of relieving tension and reducing stress. This allows the body to recuperate and revitalize when you just want to experience the overall benefits of Tamarkoz.

• Imagery:

  Replaces critical, negative thought patterns with more positive, healing images which encourage hope, vitality, motivation and creativity. Also provides neurological and sensory training which enables us to learn to focus like a laser beam on a single point on the heart.
