Johanneskapelle Pürgg

Grimming-Donnersbachtal, Styria

Name: Johanneskapelle Pürgg Description: The Johanneskapelle in Pürgg was built at the beginning of the 1 2th century as the oldest church in Styria in the Romanesque style on a rock plateau above the village of Pürgg. The unique wall paintings make it a UNESCO-protected World Heritage Site! The wide view over the Ennstal, to Grimming and Trautenfels Castle is indescribable. THE RESONANCE EXERCISE LIGHT SHOWER FOR THE DIAPHRAGM For You Find the best footing on the rock plateau that holds everything. With closed eyes, perceive the light with the imagination of standing under a “light shower”. Inhale deeply and thus absorb the light through the body deep into all cells. Exhale until the lungs are maximally emptied. Close your nose and mouth and try to inhale, even though it's not possible. Feel the relaxation in your diaphragm and continue breathing normally. For Couples, Groups or Families Perform the breathing exercise together and with each subsequent, shared inhale and exhale, explore how your own breathing power – felt – increases in the resulting rhythmic field. THE EFFECT ON YOUR HEALTH Focus Allergy relief Mental strengthening Movement Physical Diaphragm relaxing, loosening, breathable The diaphragm is a muscle-tendon plate that separates the chest and abdominal cavities. It has a dome shape and is the most important breathing muscle. A free, relaxed diaphragm counteracts feelings of tightness and restricted movement in the chest and back Mental Liberating Perspective-visionary HEART QUESTION How does the relaxation in the diaphragm feel? How do I perceive the light? Which areas of my body are particularly grateful for the light shower right now? RECOMMENDED TOUR This Natur.Kraft.Platz.
