Transcript

Hello and welcome.

My name is Jen.

Today's three-minute meditation is called Satali Pranayama,

And it's a breathing meditation.

So this meditation is designed to cool the system,

To boost immunity,

And to help us to find calm and equilibrium when upset or stressed.

It's a very simple technique,

And yet it can have profound impact,

Especially when practiced on a daily basis.

It is recommended that you practice this meditation and pranayama for a total of 40 days.

So let's begin by sitting tall,

Finding a nice meditative position.

The crown of the head is reaching up toward the ceiling,

And our sit bones are in contact with the ground or chair beneath us.

Our spine is straight and tall.

Gently close the eyes,

Rolling the gaze up and in toward the brow point,

And just take a few deep,

Slow breaths through the nose.

Your hands can rest gently on the knees,

Index finger and thumb touching lightly.

Now we'll begin the breathing technique by sticking the tongue out of our mouth slightly so that just the tip of the tongue is outside of the mouth.

Then we'll curl the tongue in a U shape and breathe in through this rolled tongue,

Deep as you can,

And then release through the nose,

Slow and steady.

Continue on like that,

Breathing in through the rolled tongue,

Deep and slow and releasing through the nose.

Continuing to breathe in through the rolled tongue,

Focusing the gaze point at the brow,

Eyes gently closed,

Spine straight,

Allowing the system to cool,

To find equilibrium,

Feeling the coolness of the air as you inhale and the warmth as you exhale slowly through the nose.

Continue on just a few more.

Last few breaths,

Really ensure that the inhale is as deep as you can,

Really filling the body with breath and exhaling completely.

Two more times.

And after your last round,

Keeping your eyes closed,

Just take a deep inhale through the nose and release.

Gently blink your eyes open,

Take in the light of the room and notice any subtle shifts in your energy.

Very well done.

This meditation is best practiced every day upon waking up.

Thank you for breathing with me today.

Reviews

I practiced this meditation when I was sick with a fever and it cooled me right off! Thank you so much 🩷

Thank you for the clear explanation and gentle support.

Thank you, Jen that was so relaxing & enjoyable. Not sure I did it completely correctly, but it felt right & I plan to give it 39 more days, at least. I like that it's short. I'm used to waking up slowly thru a long, lazy laying down meditation. I often drift back to sleep. This short meditation followed by my sharings with post pals, gratitude group & lovingkindness metta will fit better with my day. I am GRATEFUL I found you

Very different! Thank you 🙏🏽

Wow that really worked. Thank you so much.
