Baptism is an important ritual in the Catholic community. This is the start of the child’s journey in his spirituality, and his or her parents, godparents, relatives, and friends are there to welcome him and support him. Beyond this welcoming ritual, baptism carries also with it other deep spiritual meanings and symbolisms that reflect some important aspects of the faith.

October 31st, 2010

Pranayama literally means “restraint of the breath” and is the foundation of many yoga and relaxation techniques.

Sometimes it is referred to as “control of life force” and is used in many forms of relaxation and as an alternative to more intrusive medical treatments for common problems.
