Stress. It’s a six-letter word that can wreak havoc on our minds, bodies, and spirits. But what if there were ways to combat stress that went beyond the usual advice of exercise, sleep and nutrition (although those are important too!)? In:ha Wellness, a haven of tranquillity nestled in the heart of Mumbai offers a unique blend of therapies designed to identify and diagnose the root cause of your stress, melt away tension and leave you feeling revitalized with a fresh perspective.
1. Dive into Deep Stillness: Meditation
In:ha’s meditation sessions go beyond simply sitting cross-legged and trying to clear your mind (although that’s part of it!). In:ha’s expert meditation facilitators guide you through various techniques, from mindfulness meditation which focuses on present-moment awareness to somatic meditation which uses repetitive chanting to quiet the mind. Their experienced facilitators guide you through various techniques, each with its own benefit:
Mindfulness Meditation: This practice trains your attention to stay focused on the present moment, without judgment. By observing your thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, you can cultivate inner peace and reduce anxiety.
Somatic Meditation: Here, you silently repeat a calming word or phrase (mantra or intention) as a way to quiet the chatter in your mind. This repetitive focus can help induce a state of relaxation, clear the mental, emotional and physical blocks and improve concentration.
Regular meditation has been shown to reduce anxiety, improve focus, and promote better sleep – all essential ingredients for stress management.
2. Breathe Easy: The Power of Breathwork
Most of us breathe shallowly throughout the day, which can contribute to feelings of anxiety and tension. Your breath is a powerful tool, and In:ha’s breathwork sessions help you reconnect with your breath and harness its power for healing, relaxation and recharging. Through techniques like pranayama (yogic breathing exercises), ancient methods and guided visualizations, you’ll learn to regulate your breath, bringing calmness and clarity to your mind and body.
Pranayama: This ancient yogic practice involves specific breathing exercises designed to regulate your breath and increase oxygen intake. By consciously controlling your breath, you can activate the body’s relaxation response and calm your nervous system. Controlled breathing also leads to regulation of thoughts and emotions.
Guided Visualizations: Combining breathwork with guided visualizations can take your stress relief to a whole new level. Imagine yourself in a peaceful place, breathing deeply as you soak up the tranquillity. This imagery can create a powerful relaxation response and help release emotional blockages. This also involves the practice of sacred geometry breathwork – innovated, only and specially available at Inha
Breathwork can also help release emotional blockages, leaving you feeling lighter and more centred.
3. Immerse Yourself in Sound: The Soothing Symphony of Sound Baths
Imagine being bathed in waves of sound – gongs, singing bowls, chimes – that vibrate and resonate throughout your body. In:ha’s sound bath sessions create a deeply immersive experience. The rich soundscapes promote relaxation, reduce stress hormones, and even induce a meditative state. The sounds produced by these instruments promote relaxation in several ways:
Entrainment: The rhythmic sounds can entrain your brainwaves, slowing them down to a more relaxed state.
Stress Hormone Reduction: Sound baths have been shown to decrease levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, promoting a sense of calm.
Meditative State: The combination of sound and focus can induce a meditative state, allowing you to let go of worries and anxieties and begins to train your brain to experience freedom from negative emotions and creating a safe space to allow you mental and emotional freedom.
A sound bath is a truly transformative way to de-stress and unwind. It’s like giving your mind and body a gentle massage with sound waves.

4. Align Your Space, Align Your Self: Vastu & Space Energy Alignment
Vastu, the ancient Indian science of architecture, considers the flow of energy within a space. In:ha’s Vastu consultations can help optimize the energy layout of your home or workspace. By aligning furniture and objects with specific principles, you can create a more harmonious environment that promotes well-being and reduces stress. Here’s how Vastu helps reduce stress:
Energy Flow: Vastu principles consider the natural flow of energy within a space. By arranging furniture and objects in specific ways, you can create a more harmonious environment that feels less cluttered and promotes a sense of ease.
Mind-Body Connection: Our surroundings can significantly impact our mood and physical well-being. A Vastu-aligned space can subconsciously promote feelings of peace and tranquillity, contributing to stress reduction. At Inha we align your space to your potential, future dreams and goals.
Living or working in a Vastu-aligned space can be a powerful way to manage stress and create a more supportive environment for relaxation for the mind, recharging your bodies and building a growth centric haven because it all begins in our space.
