Hello friend,
I welcome you to the present moment and to this guided Pranayama practice.
This breathing technique will help you release some of the tension and anxiety that you may be feeling right now.
We will practice Nadi Shodhana or alternate nostril breathing.
This Pranayama will help you concentrate on your breath and to find a little bit of peace when you need it.
It will clear the clouds and the fog that may make it hard for you to see the clear sky.
Now let's begin.
Put your left hand on your left knee and place the two peace fingers of the right hand on your third eye center on your forehead.
Gently close your eyes and with your right thumb close the right nostril.

Get back to your normal breathing,
No counting here,
Just you and your natural breath.
Feel the effect of Nadi Shodhana on yourself and keep this quiet space that you created throughout the day.
Without opening the eyes bring both of your hands in front of the heart center in Anjali Mudra.
Bow down to your inner teacher.
Thank you.
Namaste.
