Hey everybody, So today we are going to be practicing a energizing breath style. We're going to do this for just a few minutes. If you would like to continue practicing this breath for longer, Please be my guest. Feel free to do so. It's not going to hurt you to go longer. I just want to give you a quick and energizing uplifting practice that you can do in a short amount of time. So this breath is very, Very easy. You're going to start with two inhales through the nose. I know that sounds dramatic, But you're going to inhale sharply into your nose twice, And then you're going to exhale out your mouth. You're going to inhale through the nose, Exhale out the mouth. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. And out. In. Out. Keep it going. Keep the breath going. You might start to feel a little bit lightheaded. If it's too much for you, You can slow the breath down a little. That's no problem. Just keep invigorating your body with sharp inhales and a nice long exhale. Something else that might make you lightheaded is if you're pushing the exhale. So I want to encourage you to just let it fall out of your body. Just falling it out. See, Falling out, Not pushing it. Letting it fall out, Rather. Keep it going. At your own pace. You can always speed it up a little, Slow it down a little. I find that pace to be pretty good. It's pretty invigorating. You are activating your nervous system with this breath, Bringing in more oxygen and flooding your body system with more oxygen. Bringing it into all of your bodily systems, Helping your body perform better and function better, Helping your brain get more oxygen. Keep it going. Okay, Now take a deep breath in through your nose. Fill up all the way to the top and hold your breath as long as you can. And when you're ready, Big exhale out the mouth. One more time. Deep breath in. Feel that energy, All that prana running through your body. Feel the tingling, The invigoration of your system. And whenever you're ready, Deep exhale out the mouth. Take a nice regular breath in. Alright, So I know that's a short practice, But hopefully you are already feeling more awake and alive. If you would like, Continue practicing for longer. You can play this twice. You can repeat that sequence doing about three minutes of the active breath and then taking those breath retentions. Totally up to you. Let me know how it went. I hope you have a great rest of your day.
