Wanted to share with you a powerful and effective breathwork meditation Essentially,
This meditation is going to teach you how to use your breath correctly so that you can reach a state of meditation I'm going to ask you to sit upright for this one You can cross your legs if that's accessible to you Or you can place your feet firmly on the ground,
The floor Just make sure that your spine is straight and erect When you have done that,
You can roll your shoulders back Releasing any burden and tension in the body and the limbs Allow the limbs to just hang loose You can place your hands on your thighs,
Knees,
Or one hand on top of the other This is what I like to do and just place that above your legs Allow your jaw to hang loose Releasing any illusory sense of control It's usually associated with the jaw When you're ready,
Close the eyes and begin to tune inwards So your entire body is beginning to relax now naturally Your face is loosening up Create space in the face,
In the forehead,
Between the eyes Loosen the jaw,
Relax the lips Tune into the body,
Become aware of your chest Relax the shoulders Relax the belly Soften the torso Relax the legs as well Feel your lower half firmly planted and rooted into your seat Ground yourself,
Feel the weight of your body Good Now let's take some deep breaths Breathe in naturally and comfortably Breathe out Breathe in You may want to exhale out of the mouth Breathe in Breathe out As you do this,
Allow your body to relax even more with every exhale Good Now begin to breathe into the belly Take a deep breath into the belly,
Allow the belly to rise And exhale out completely out the nose Breathe in,
Belly rises Exhale out completely,
Belly falls Breathe in,
Belly rises Breathe out,
Belly falls Breathe in And breathe out Good As you continue to breathe into the belly and out You may begin to notice your breathing slowing down So your breathing may begin to deepen as well So at this point,
You're breathing with the belly You are breathing slowly And you are breathing deeply This means you have tapped in to the parasympathetic nervous system You are eliciting a relaxation response in your body And this is powerful Because most people move through their days in a chronic stress response And this breathing pattern can easily help you shift out of the stress response into a relaxation response So breathe in to the belly Breathe deeply And breathe slowly You may already be doing this at this point But just a reminder that you can incorporate the uchai breath and that simply means constricting the throat slightly so that you're able to create this ocean like sound When you use the uchai breath you help yourself tune into the parasympathetic system even more It's incredibly soothing It also helps you rest your awareness in your body In meditation,
This is very important Because the body is the subconscious mind It is the key to the deeper aspects of ourselves The key to healing The key to inner connection and awakening So use the sound of your breathing to breathe deeply Slowly And with the belly Now I want to invite you to become aware of the length of your inhales and the length of your exhales As you continue to observe and breathe in this relaxed manner your inhales and exhales are going to begin to balance The inhales are associated with masculine energy and the exhales are associated with feminine energy In order to reach a state of equilibrium emotional,
Mental,
Energetic balance which is the state of meditation we have to balance our inhales and exhales But this cannot be forced The more you force,
The more you resist and that will cause stress and mind level thinking So do not force and simply observe Awareness of your breath can take you to that point of balance So continue to breathe and simply observe and observe,
Relax and be that inner witness to it all And you may even want to observe how spacious you feel in your body right now How relaxed you feel energetically and the slower you breathe the more you may begin to notice how you have detached from the mind When you breathe deeply and slowly the thoughts go away naturally So begin to notice how your mind is quite spacious as well as your body and there is all the stillness and calm in the mind You have gone to this point in the meditation Thank kudos to you Really good job Let's wrap up the meditation because this is more than enough for a daily practice In this meditation,
You have learned that in order to elicit a relaxation response and soothe the nervous system you have to breathe slowly,
Deeply and with the abdomen You also have to observe your body and mind,
Your breath so that they reach a point of balance in the length of exhales versus inhales When this happens,
Your energy is balanced and you reach a state of no thought,
No mind and pure meditation Let's take 3 breaths together,
Releasing every exhale through the mouth to conclude this practice Breathe in and exhale Breathe in Exhale Breathe in and exhale Last time,
Breathe in and exhale Very good Begin to move your fingers and toes Then when you're ready,
You can open your eyes First,
Becoming aware of your body Just observe your body You are here in this moment with your body with your breath and your conscious awareness and notice your space coming back into this moment with complete clarity,
Calm and stillness Thank you so much for joining me in this practice Thank you for being open to it I hope you found it helpful and I will see you next time in the next video Goodbye
