Kundalini Practice For A Calm Heart

This practice is really like a medicine. Use this Mudra (hand position) and Pranayam (breath control) to ease your emotional, mental, physical and spiritual heart. Practise it for a broken heart, for nerves that have become frayed, for that bad day and when you are missing someone or something.

Transcript

Settle into your seated position.

Make sure your spine is tall and straight.

Shoulders are relaxed and hips are squared in beneath you.

Take a few long deep breaths here.

And feel yourself drop into your body.

Press your palms together at the center of your chest.

Shoulders are relaxed.

And close your eyes,

Focus in between the eyebrows and slightly above.

Come back to that tall straight spine.

And we begin by tuning in with a mantra,

Ong Namo,

Guru Dev Namo,

I bow to the teacher within.

I call on my highest consciousness.

Take a deep inhale.

And exhale through the nose.

Inhale very deeply.

Exhale completely.

Inhale and let's tune in.

Ong Namo,

Guru Dev Namo.

Two more times.

Ong Namo,

Guru Dev Namo.

Ong Namo,

Guru Dev Namo.

Inhale very deeply.

And set your intention for this meditation for a calm heart.

Maybe for you it's relaxing after a long day.

Or mending your heart after a breakup.

Or starting to feel again after a time of numbness or overwhelm.

Relax your hands now.

And bring your left hand over the center of your chest.

Thumb is pointing towards your chin and your palm is flat against your chest.

Open your fingers wide.

We're creating a still point at the heart for prana,

For energy,

And awareness of love and compassion.

Bring your right arm up by your right side with your palms facing forward.

As if you were taking an oath.

And then bring the first finger and thumb to touch.

Point your fingers directly up to the sky above you.

Close your eyes.

Once again at the brow point.

And begin to breathe slowly and deeply through the nose.

Inhaling fully and completely.

And then hold the breath as long as you possibly can.

And then through the nose,

Exhale completely.

Inhaling fully and completely through the nose.

Breathing the breath as long as you possibly can.

And then through the nose,

Exhale completely.

Continue to use this pattern of breath to calm yourself,

To collect yourself,

And to remember who you really are.

We take a few minutes of silence now.

Three minutes in total.

Continue to breathe,

Inhaling through the nose.

Breathing and pausing as long as you can.

And then exhaling completely through the nose.

And then through the nose,

Exhaling through the nose.

And then exhaling through the nose.

Completing your final round of breath now.

Taking one last long deep breath here in this meditation.

Hold completely,

Fully,

Deeply.

And then exhale all the air out,

Bringing your belly button towards the spine.

Hold your hands in place for a few more moments.

Let the energy circulate.

Take in this experience.

And now press your palms together at the center of your chest.

Close our practice now with a long sat,

Short nam.

Press your thumbs into the bone of your chest.

Come back to a tall,

Straight spine.

Close your eyes.

Anc then take a deep inhale.

Sat,

Nam.

Wonderful practice. Thank you ❤️

sitting with this track on the heels of a disappointing end to a friendship over a lack of communication and authenticity.

my heart was in turmoil coming to sit for this practice. I felt (and still feel) an array of emotions amounting to frustration, betrayal, and a wish for some semblance of closure.

but for a moment, in the deep breaths with mudra, I was able to relinquish these desires and feelings; coming to terms with the truth my heart knew all along: that I am sovereign even in this moment of conflict. whether it is resolved in a way I am comfortable with or not, only I can find absolute comfort within myself.

no one holds the key to my heart, my equanimity, or my thriving. it is a doorway with no door. all I must do is choose to walk through and remember that I belong there.

grateful for this practice. 😌🙏🏾

Really good! I would love to have a meditation with the chant you did at the beginning. Do you have one on Insight Timer?

Nice combination of breath, intention and silent meditation.

That was a lovely healing start of the day.
Thank you🌷

I knew I recognized your voice I am jen Andrade on you tube. I'm on day 8 of your heart and mind kriya✨️ I've been doing this meditation on insight for a few weeks also but just realized it's you Selima! Divine intervention always. Thanks again!

Loved this. Thank you. Great to experience mantra and pranayama from kundalini tradition.

Beautiful and what a lovely calm voice. Thankyou 🙏🏼

Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful experience. 🙏

I couldn't understand how that hand position should be. Salima can you please explain that? Or give a picture?

I have returned to this, after using it during a difficult period, as I have recently had a bereavement and it was like a welcome friend and hug. So grateful for this meditation 🙏🏻💚

I came to this meditation with a heavy heart. Feeling much lighter now 🤍 Thank You

Truly amazing experience. Thanx for sharing. Namaste.

A deeply grounding and integrating meditation and devotion. Thank you so much.

What a powerfully calming meditation! Thanks so much for sharing. 💜

Loved it, so simple and calmed me down immediately. I tend to tear up while meditating, but I cried quite a bit during this one. 💚

Thank you so much!
