[quote][blue]Also I feel it is important that the members are aware that such workshops have nothing to do with  'sufism' (the patron of the site Javed sb would chuck me out if it was [B)] ) [/blue]

for e.g. in this one it was demonstrated practically that how the sound of adan can take away stress by reminding a believer after every few hours, when he/she may be stressed due to day to day resposibilities, fears and anxieties because of agressive environment created by fellow human beings that

[purple]'hayya alal salah' come to the prayer/salah
'haya alal falah' 'come to prosperity' [/purple]

reminding that here I am, your Lord, to take care of all your affairs, who has not just left you on your own after creating you.

It can be compared to a mother calling out a lost child in a busy fair. Imagine the feeling of security that child will experience. [:D]

[blue]However this does not undermine the importance of the fact that each salah is a warning as well to get rid of the previous sins while trying to correct oneself as this may be the last prayer in one's life.[/blue]

Facts like 45 meridians of acupuncture are stimulated by wudu thereby giving physical comfort (based on a Chinese research).
 [blue]Similarly 'The Gate theory of pain'which implies that by stimulating pressure receptors on skin, pain receptors can be suppressed hence the pain relief expected by rubbing the limbs and face while washing for the wudu few times a day.[/blue]
At the same time being an opportunity to wash the sins off; as the beloved prophet sws taught us.

Flow of blood to the upper part of the spine, lungs, head including eyes, ears and brain in the ruku and sajda position etc.

Opportunity to learn patience by sitting calmly in the tashhud position and standing in qayam in the divine presence.

[purple]I said 'opportunity' because each of us may not be able to achieve this despite praying regularly due to 'rush prayers' or lack of concentration.[/purple]

The workshop was run by a certified religious psychologist Mrs.Zahida Ashfaque who has been awarded by a local borough council of the UK; for producing excellent results in regards of stress relief among muslims and nonmuslims.[/quote]
