Architecting your Wellbeing | Yoftahe Manyazewal | TEDxYouth@Arada


I grew up as a little child and I was

less communicative what’s more

explorative I was just exploring just

about anything I knew you need to open

anything that premises to the house as a

gadget or anything starting on the

television – Carter – anything that

minion kind of misfires moving on behind

the stage or behind the sin if there’s

one that I opened was this is phenomenal

but I don’t know the ones with my

confession of my mother I say as a child

is mother I wish we had a zipper for

this body and really see what’s

happening inside history he kind of grew

up even if I it’s often missing body

mind I was exploring different ways that

can make me get in touch with this human

body mind so I was exploring from

martial arts acrobatics from dancing to

painting from hiding jumping climbing

whatever that could really stretch the

lead from the body in the mind and at

times I used to slowly to myself just by

myself without phone writing anything

just making thing and just observing

what’s happening within some of these

explorations I need to had a pattern I

just saw a pattern of relations with

those gadgets that I used to open and

this cement mechanism where the body

mind and that is Haysom access most of

the things that we’re designing as a man

they have become easily accessible so it

miscue engineering the outside pretty

much in higher level so many things that

we used to go and impress the function

now we can put them very much or this

case with glue as you can see but then

that we can so much accessible at the

same time it’s more than ever easy to

make someone angry intimate piece of

someone or to make someone irritated or

anything else because we have pretty

much opened up our system in a way and

through engineering the outside kind of

forgotten

within so as through the ages

we’ve been programmed as generation in a

way to bring about well-being truth in

engineering and concluding on what’s

happening outside circumstance anything

it’s I feeling like we are at the back

of the car and some circumstance or

people are dragging us on our way so I

really wanted to be at the driving chair

how can i really be in charge of my own

life how penury to be in charge of my

own fittings so to this I really again

kept on exploring and exploring

throughout the floor then down the line

I need to join the field of architecture

so studying architecture gave me even a

wider perspective to the real of art and

design to building great environments

and to building great spaces but then

what designing buildings my obsession

was a still pattern in design every

human being

so human design or human architecture

was my obsession back then through this

process I really want to even design the

closest house that I have which is the

body and the mind I mean whatever so

through these steps I get to see a

pretty much big relation between the

study of oxygen of having and the

sciences that are exploring one side

that explored was the science of yoga so

all these signs I kind of so pretty much

similarity from the idea of the elements

of the process or the science so the

same way as there is structural

engineering part through my designs

there is a specular enduring part of

this system there is a structure the

body

the bones that wanted everything and the

way we work these days sitting long

hours in the computer we’re basically

screwing up the spine and how this body

can be related in a better performance

and the same way there’s another part

which is electrically getting part of it

which I can relate from the yogic

sciences they are similarity and that

you can tie the waves of the system

which your science we call them noddies

so a 90 is basically a same electrical

pathway in this human mechanism and we

have about seventy two thousand of them

and determine mechanism so I get to

explore how are these things flown so

the nervous system is interacting the

different body parts how I thought he’s

transmitting impulses and everything

then I also get to see another part of

designs there is even a chemical

engineering part of it which happened to

be also within this body man the super I

mean our hormones

because just our eighty emotion or any

feeling as you have to do with our

emotions or the chemicals because if I’m

depressed depression is one kind of

chemistry if I throw a pill inside that

could kind of change the chemistry so

that’s not good chemistry I’m going on

carry a chemistry sadness is another

chemistry lab in another one do another

one so any kind of emotion has got to do

with the soup that’s happening inside so

that’s another dimension that let me

explore the inner alchemy the way so

exploring these different dimensions

through my field of architecture and the

science of yoga I get to explore more

going occurred and studying in different

universities and there is even a yoga

University that I was surprised to get

into where you get to explore different

of these sizes from the level of the

laboratory there was Smith laboratory by

over

and that’s to be laboratory so that we

can really get in touch to the science

of these engine science which kind of

gets back to 5,000 years back so through

this process I really get to explore the

narrow damage me in a better way and

coming back home I started to set up

this platform which is called Google

come on policy development center which

offered to be the first or listening to

what my Center as well and now we’re

saying after because yoga studio in the

country as well so some of the programs

that I really wanted to partake through

this platform was a program that I wish

I had encompass the course is like

happiness one-on-one courses like joy

one-on-one or relationship or business

things that we really kind of use in our

life we are not going to be accountants

architects or doctors but we all want to

be happy we all want to really make life

the level of excellence that we really

feel connected ourselves in without us

around us so the two designs I get to

see another inside that we all have this

illusion of I am this body mind that

this thing is keeping maybe all of

humanity from experiencing the inner

state or in a sense all the chaos that’s

happening in the world

boom been killing petrichor ever is from

the fact that I am this body mind and

that person is that body mind and when

you go deeper this is the house we’re

just figuring out different houses and

we’re just creating that division or

illusion between these four houses or

our body minds so the sense I felt is

that oneness that we all can experience

with this dimension and go into the

deeper level of yoga or the yogic

sciences there are different limbs of

course it’s a pretty big science maybe

one of the ancient science in a way I

would just maybe give you a bit of intro

a brief journey through the UV sciences

just between three of the pillars three

of the pillars I mean that really can

let people know that you experience in a

different

the level of obedience on an insight so

what is called pranayama

Hana Yama is the easiest or the closest

to definitely be the breath but not

literally because the pranayama goes a

little deeper so prana stands for life

energy

so whatever what we inhale it has to do

with our life maintenance in a way but

it also equates with life itself when

someone comes to this planet we say they

took their first breath and where they

depart they took the last bit so life

kind of requests with the breath itself

but from the science we basically

breathe engaging one third of the lockup

acity toasted orbits what must be

engaged so this pretty much keeps the

biggest potential that’s the bread or

the life energy that gives to the system

and again from the science about thirty

percent of the oxygen that we inhale

goes to the brain so same thing with the

brain functionality creativity memory

skills or whatever that this brain can

really perform it is less of it because

we’re not taking the oxygen that we

really demand so two pranayama will get

to fuel the system with bread and as

well prana another where people

basically see yoga with is a physical

posture in practice when you see yoga

video yoga magazine you see people

painting stretching and everything which

basically is a tiny part of yoga as a

science because that is a one-part

creating space into the system getting

back to my field of architecture we

design spaces to create whatever that we

want to use it for the same thing

through this physical portraits that we

one thing that we can create is through

the stretch that we take them to we

create a space this space is basically

intercellular space every time specially

with the engagement that we have at this

modern age we sit mostly we don’t have

much of movement so the body’s kind of

kept clogging and squeezy

so through this practice we let it to

become open and wide and spacious in a

way so that the first one which is the

Panna

the life energy flow through the system

and cleanse the system so posture even

if it has so many benefits as an end by

itself flexibility strength losing

weight so many of them every week that

is new science coming up yoga meditation

and how we can really hacked

line from inside out in a way I

sometimes consider myself

hacking my own life from the level of

the body mind at all so through these

steps again one thing that I mostly

share about when I talk these signs

about yoga meditation is the third

element which sometimes call it savasana

or the maintenance part and how I relate

this with our analogy is our food needs

to charge right and sometimes we have to

service our car but we pretty much don’t

have a similar modality that we

regularly do the same thing for this

human mechanism maintaining it or

letting it refuel itself or rejuvenate

so one thing that we do or practice in

Yoga is taking times I love the system

to really rejuvenate or refill itself

through different practices so through

these three basic contents we get to

explore the you each sciences from the

level of the body the mind the emotions

so you can go up into the energy systems

of the body so I’m not going to say a

lot about it because mostly thing is

sage unless grasped the listen to things

experience it so I want you a bunch of

you love Ted open-minded people that I

really admire because I’ve learned a lot

as well from Ted to a bit of a journey

through the experience of these new

designs so for this I wanna invite you

all to stand up for a moment

it’s been free if you I gotta do

something completed by site to relax it

stage maybe a bit up smile very good so

we may not be pretty much comfortable to

practice some of the physical postures

breathing is of endings here but it

could be something similar that can

really give it the same benefit which is

which I could is this body Smith’s

practice so what you’re going to do is

going to be we’re going to squeeze the

different body parts one at a time

so that we can create that body

connection in a way so standing there we

start up squeezing that pose whatever

you are standing on the floor try to

squeeze the floor as if an angle grabs a

fish from intellect try to grab your

feet on the floor and just feel that

connection with the floor exquisite

very very very good Dana shoulders on

the ears keeping it all squeezed from

toes up squeeze ear showing us that the

ear is a bit closer try to touch it

very nice now I’m going to make a funny

face squeeze the face in your nose well

it’d be funnier squeeze the passion

muscles and you’re going to make it even

funnier with by open your mouth make it

sound very good and squeeze out these

please and let’s squeeze every body part

come on your toes squeeze squeeze

that was a bit of taiking of the system

just with an admitted you can feel a

different sensation now i see more smile

it’s done before very good so again to

just let you through the journey of this

experience

i’ll get you to few practices some

breathing in some relaxation so I’ll be

much comfortable to sit so one thing

that we advocate in yoga is keeping the

alignment of the body so all the

physical means that we do is partly to

create alignment so in alignment

Northern well really take off couple of

years of our life because energy systems

or the body’s not well maintained or

regime it in a way so as you sit try to

make your spine straight keeping your

spine straight creates a good alignment

for your body and as well makes the

whole energy lines from the base of the

spine to the tip of the okay to be on

the same alignment

so one thing we start up is a breathing

practice so the first breathing practice

is a little funny baby and maybe it’s

called the Breath of Fire or I call it

country mean what is practice what we

going to do is as I said earlier most of

the lung capacity is not to be tired and

maybe air that we have in ear to three

days ago still there so we’re going to

flick it out and so what I’m going to do

is going to be you can put your right

hand on your belly to practice this one

breathing if you’re pregnant and if you

have be people preggers we must leave

this practice

let me get pretty much higher than I use

this practice as a coffee by the way it

pretty much creates a pretty nice

interaction of your nerve impulses so

that the nerve impulses becomes faster

the same thing sometimes that drugs what

going to do is they create the norm

impulses become passive like you

different sensations or perceptions all

higher so if you notice the same time so

if you wanna take the night a little

longer when I was in my pictures only if

I want to stay a little longer maybe two

three days without sleep I use this

practice and it keeps refreshing the

system so I can put the hand on your

belly and what to do is going to be pump

in the breath so we take a deep inhale

and as we breathe we use the abdominal

muscles to squeeze the lungs as if we

squeeze a balloon and lick the XPath

so just I’ll do it one round of it and

open it together I inhale it’s done so

what you do is keeping your hand on your

baby try to pump the blood with the help

of your abdominals so get it together we

so just observed for a moment what

happened in the system you may feel

sensations around the nose trios some

dizziness feeling light-headed maybe

this is like most of the nerve endings

kind of was hibernating in a way as if

polar bears hibernate but there’s no

food we’re not giving them in a box into

the system so they’re kind of slimming

when they give them dope of oxygen

they’re like what’s happening here or

that sensations are uncommon so you can

do this practice officially in the

morning to be start your day it’s pretty

simple the second practice I’ll be

sharing with you is called alternate

nostril breathing it’s pretty much

powerful breathing practice to

synchronize the two hemispheres of the

body starting from the lungs then goes

to the brain hemispheres which is the

left and the right the scientists in the

artists the ethical and imaginative so

tune the Japanese but mostly the logical

wins the game

so kind of try to bring them both

together on the stage so that we can

really excel in life so to this practice

one thing we do and most of them are

kind of clogged with our lifestyle with

what we consume being in a city the

inhalation of smokes and toxins is kind

of blocking all the systems around so

through this practice we’re going to

cleanse as well as balance so for this

practice you can use the right hand

class all the four fingers together it

is the last two fingers so this is like

the poster or kiss we go in the right

hemisphere and the other two will be

holding the left nostril as we

alternates yes so we hold the right

nostril and exhale with the left nostril

fully exhaling out of the left and in

arrow the same nostril left or the left

being head with the right there was one

round with our two more rounds

so that’s at the you know the next X

inhalation we’re going to hold both

nostrils

inhaling tall boys on streets and stay

some divers in house

closing their nostrils in there very

good so mostly in the practice we do

this like 10 to 15 rounds to really get

to see what’s happening in the system

but even with the two three rounds I

guess you have felt a bit of opening in

the Union maybe a little different the

coolness of the air and one thing I talk

about these two systems is the left and

the right no students they have to

complete different tasks the left most

really basically is this task is to cool

down the system and the right nostril is

hitting the system so basically if you

can take part of this gadget I call it

the induce easy you can be in a desert

and still cool the system and you can be

at the top of a freaking cold mountain

and still he says that there are Yogi’s

who can be at the top of Himalayas

sitting naked in parts of the yoga

because they have sort of control or

tackling this technology this is the

most toughest thing in technology I

believe in the planets so as the last

I’ll just take you through a moment of

just taking a space for yourself so just

remind yourself to say to relax your

shoulders you can keep your eyes closed

or open but around 80% of our

communication with the environment is

through the ice so if you close your

eyes you have this instruction by 80% so

just staying there for a moment you just

take a moment to observe the breath one

just relaxing here take a moment to

listen to whatever is around the aware

of sounds taking women to smile what

they can experience at the moment what

can you smell to be aware of what air is

swallowing and feeling saliva goes down

your throats your body in the chair

touch between your hands and legs take a

moment

the next five seconds to be grateful of

something that happened today let’s

before someone or something this

relaxing releasing this to the next

breath to bring our attention back to

the body slowly start to leave the

fingers about right hand the fingers of

the left hand you can slowly arrive your

hands together create someone with your

and then you can store inside your hands

smiling and there was like a moment to

so that was just a brief session glimpse

of practice just to let you see that we

are all architects of our life our own

well-being and we can get out and share

whatever is there within the body mind and make it better play it together
