Hypnosis
Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness that allows a person to access the subconscious mind. Unlike the regular waking state, where our mind is constantly active, hypnosis involves deep relaxation while remaining highly focused. It’s a state where consciousness is directed towards specific thoughts, feelings, or memories without being distracted by the outer world.

Emotions: How They Shape Us and Why We Should Learn to Deal with Them
Emotions—how often do we stop to think about their influence on us? I believe that we are often unaware of how much power they hold and what they can do to us when left unprocessed.
Emotions are complex psychophysiological reactions to specific events, experiences, or thoughts. They arise in response to external stimuli (like an unexpected event) or internal thoughts, such as memories or imaginings. An emotion is not simply a feeling but a holistic process that involves physical reactions, mental processes, and behaviors.
Emotions can be categorized into different types, such as:
Positive emotions
Negative emotions
Neutral emotions
Self Love
Self-love – a term that somehow annoys us. It’s kind of clear, but not really. Self-love, self-care, accessing one’s own emotions, happiness, stress regulation, and so on – we don’t learn these things in school, even though it would be so important to integrate these aspects into everyday life. And to understand that it’s also about this. Not just about performance, evaluation, and perfection! So, how can we learn to love ourselves? In a world largely shaped by external demands, comparisons, and perfectionistic expectations.
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a calm and meditative form of yoga that focuses on holding poses for extended periods—typically between three to five minutes. Unlike dynamic yoga styles that emphasize muscle strength and movement, Yin Yoga aims to stretch and stimulate the connective tissues, joints, and fascia. This practice not only promotes physical flexibility but also encourages mental relaxation.
Affirmations
Affirmations are far more than just a few nice sentences you say to yourself in the morning in front of the mirror. They are powerful tools to transform our thinking, mindset, and ultimately our lives. But what exactly are affirmations, how do they work, and why is it worth integrating them into your daily routine?
Self-Concept
The self-concept is the idea we have of ourselves – the sum of our beliefs, thoughts, values, and feelings about ourselves. It includes how we see ourselves (self-image), how we believe others see us (social image), and how we would like to be (ideal image).
