Good morning beautiful soul.
Welcome to this breathing yogic technique called Nadi Shodhana,
Also known as alternative nostril breathing.
It's a calming pranayama practice that balances the body,
Mind and energy channels.
So,
By gently alternating the breath between the left and right nostrils,
It helps to clear blockages in the nadis,
Which are the subtle energy pathways,
Bringing in more harmony to our nervous system.
So,
This practice is often used to reduce stress,
Quiet the chatter in the mind and just to prepare you for meditation by creating a sense of inner balance and clarity.
So,
Let's begin.
Find a comfortable seated position with your spine tall and your shoulders relaxed.
Rest your left hand gently on your lap.
With your right hand,
Bring your index and middle finger to rest between your eyebrows.
Your thumb will be used to close the right nostril and your ring finger will close the left nostril.
Take a deep breath in through both nostrils and gently exhale.
Breathe in through your belly.
Breathe out through your right nostril.
Breathe in through your left nostril.
Breathe out through your right nostril.
Breathe in through your left nostril.
Breathe out through your right nostril.
Breathe in through your left nostril.
Breathe out through your right nostril.
Breathe in through your left nostril.
Release your thumb and exhale fully through the right nostril.
Inhale.
Close your right nostril again and exhale fully through the left.
Inhale through the left.
Close your left nostril.
Exhale through the right.
Now,
Without the guide of my voice,
Follow your breath at your own pace.
Slowly,
We're going to finish through our left nostril.
Release the breath.
Place both of your palms on your lap.
Now,
Just breathe through both of your nose.
Inhale.
Hold your breath.
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
Exhale through your nose.
You can repeat as many times as you want.
Three rounds are recommended.
As you breathe,
Notice the calming rhythm.
Feel your mind become clearer,
Quieter.
Your body start to relax more and more into your surface.
Your energy feeling a bit more balanced.
Continue practicing for a few minutes and come back to this practice anytime you want to calm your mind and cultivate stillness.
Observing the sense of harmony within you that you created within this breath.
I hope you enjoyed this practice.
Now,
Have a wonderful day ahead.
I'll see you in the next one.
Much love.
