Transcript

Welcome to your breathwork practice with myself and media.

During our practice today we'll be finding our breath through all the noise and busyness of our lives.

Before we start,

Take a moment to find a quiet and comfortable seat,

Placing your hands,

Placing up on your kneecaps.

I invite you to close your eyes when you're ready,

Taking natural and easy breaths.

Don't try to control anything.

Let the belly rise and fall without strain,

Giving your mind permission to wonder and just be allowing anything to come to surface.

Slowly becoming more aware of your breath,

Noting the length of the inhale,

The depth of the exhale,

Gradually deepening,

Elongating each breath you take.

Bring your full awareness to the rise and fall of belly.

As air flows in and out with ease,

Gently allowing the mind to quiet,

Bringing your focus back to your breath and your thoughts start to creep in.

Deep breath in,

Deep breath out.

Now bringing your awareness to your right hand,

We'll be exploring a breathing technique called Nadi Shodhana,

Alternate nostril breathing.

With your eyes still closed,

Gently fold down middle three fingers,

Keeping your thumb and pinky extended out.

When you are ready,

Bring up your thumb to press gently against the right nostril.

Take a deep breath in and as you exhale,

Close off the right nostril completely with the thumb,

Breathing out through the left nostril.

Inhale left,

Exhale left.

Continuing to breathe like this the next few breaths.

Nadi Shodhana is a beautiful technique for balancing the nervous system,

Lowering stress,

Ultimately improving your overall wellbeing.

Inhale left,

Exhale left.

Well done,

Just like that.

One more deep breath in through the left,

Switching nostrils as you place the pinky over the left nostril and exhale through the right.

Inhale right,

Exhale right.

Nadi Shodhana is a beautiful technique for balancing the nervous system,

Allowing your mind to quell,

Not only to exercise,

Contributorthese are all wonderful recipes.

You you you inhale one last breath and as you exhale releasing your right hand back down to your leg breathing out through both nostrils feeling the calmness and tickling energy surrounding you noticing the subtle shifts in emotions and tensions when you first started your practice slowly start to become aware of the body grounding down into the floor the sounds in the room you are in the sound of your heart beating the sound of your natural and continuous breath gently starting to move the fingers and the toes bringing life back into your body and when you are ready with more energy love and calmness opening your eyes to a new start me
