We're here on Inside Timer and I am Dr.
Siri Satnam Singh.
My name means great believer in the truth.
And today we're going to do a pranayama,
A meditation that just focuses on the breath and that will bring us to a calmness of being.
We're going to do it just for three minutes,
For it takes three minutes for the blood to circulate through the body once.
And in so doing a meditation for three minutes,
We come to make an effect in the whole totality of the being.
So I'd like for you to bring your palms together,
Thumb to thumb,
Index finger to index,
Saturn finger,
Apollo finger,
Mercury finger,
Palm together with the palm.
And cross your thumbs and bring the heel of the hand next to your heart chakra.
Now the mudra,
This is a mudra,
Should be pointing at a 45 degree angle from your chest.
This is called prayer mudra.
And I want you to close your eyes.
If you're sitting in a chair,
Just have your feet flat on the floor,
Your back straight and your neck an extension of your spine.
And focus at the third eye,
At the root of your nose between your two eyebrows.
And for three minutes,
Begin to breathe through your nostrils long and deep.
Look the lower lungs,
Middle lungs,
Upper lungs,
With the inhale and on the exhale,
Exhale the breath all the way out.
I'm going to allow you to be in silence for a minute.
Just focus on your breath.
Make sure your mudra is at the heart chakra.
That's the center of your chest,
Your sternum.
Keep the breath going long,
Slow and deep.
This will balance you.
This will bring you into mental balance.
One more minute.
You're doing great.
Last few seconds.
Keep up.
Inhale,
Deep.
Hold the breath.
Exhale the breath all the way out.
And relax your hands.
Just stay on your lap and just see how you feel.
Just for a few seconds before you come back into the world.
You went into the beyond,
Beyond your limitations.
Inhale,
Exhale.
And just shake your hands out.
Just have your hands in front of you.
Just shake them.
Get rid of any tension,
Any anxiety.
Anything that just feels worrisome.
Just shake your hands and just relax.
You should feel very calm now.
I'm very proud of you.
You did a meditation to enhance your mental balance.
You should applaud yourself for sitting down to consciously meditate.
And thank you for sharing your time with me.
