EBC Balkan started the new cyclss of the GUIDED MORNING ROUTINE on 16th May. Since, the first day of the program was total lunar eclips and, astrologically, it was beneficial for practices, the mantra chanting was organized for even better alignment, focus and productivity as well as energizasing the body for the day ahead.
The
number of the followers has increased on Facebook up to 575 and on
instagram up to 632.
The steps of our specially designed morning routine
included breathing exercises, yoga and reading motivational stories –
about people who made a great impact on the world and practical
advice. This was aimed to empower participants and provide stability
so they can cope with challenges in their daily livis.
The
first cycle of the online guided challenge lasted for two weeks,
afterwards participants were supposed to do the same routine on their
own for another two weeks, share their experience and give mutual
support.
Take a glimpse at some of the impressions from the participants!
- “I haven’t been practicing for a long time and got rusted. After just few days doing yoga, pains in my neck got weaker and until now they have completely disappeared. I feel like a new man both mentally and physically…. The rhythm suited me well and provided confidence that I can do anything. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! With love, Nikola”
- “Doing exercises with you in a live program and with the video were soothing for me. The stretching exercises even lessen the pain in my knee. Today, after the worming up exercises, I managed to do a couple of Sun Salutations quickly and I felt amazing. Thanks a lot, to all of you. – Jasmina”
- I have practiced the morning routine for the first time and it really helped me organize better and start my day. It provides more energy and better concentration at work. It removes blockages and gradually increases strengths and flexibility. The list of the daily activities gives us guidelines for the next day and not to give up on them because of the new ones that occurred. It emphasizes our priorities. The great routine which I continued to practice even after the program and I can freely say it is excellent for the backache and improves my stature. Thanks to Mohanji, all the Acharyas and everyone who contributed to this great workshop. – Selena”

Gong Showers are sorts of inactive meditations 
…where you are taking a shower in the healing vibrations of the sound. 
Using a sound as a healing started back in the ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome.
For the first time in June, our interviewees were one of the first participants of the club.
Marijana Milanović was interviewed and it was really inspirational and encouraging to hear her experiences and realize that everyone more or less struggles with the same issues while changing their habits and waking up early.
She has experienced lots of ups and downs in her effort to maintain and continue waking up early. She selflessly shared things that motivate her, challenges that she faced and visible results and benefits that waking up early brought her.
Martina Krepčić kept askig herself “Is it really posible to go to bed and wake up early when you have small children?”
And she found out that the new habit made her stronger and more focused during the day.
