Namaste my beautiful,

Sacred,

Magnificent souls.

I'm Ranjith and I'm here with a new meditation.

The world today is in a desperate need for a nervous system release.

I heard a Hindu monk recently mentioned that human beings today are a bunch of really tight nerves and muscles fighting to survive.

And in this meditation we have one goal and only one goal and that is to bring total complete relaxation to our body,

To our mind and our soul.

This meditation is best suited in the evening after a busy and tiring day.

However,

There's only benefits to relaxing your body whenever possible.

So let's dive right in.

This meditation can be done lying down or sitting.

In case you're sitting,

Please ensure that your chest is slightly lifted up.

This ensures that your spine is erect.

Let's gently arrive in this moment on our two feet.

Let's feel the presence of our being on this earth plane in this now moment.

Like a monk,

Observe the surroundings,

The aromas,

The sounds,

The sensations.

Let them be and all you need to do is be an observer.

And with a gentle beautiful smile,

Close your eyes.

In your own way,

Get about 20% more comfortable than you already are.

Your body will know how to get there.

Without any extra effort,

Let's bring our attention to our breath.

Feel,

Become aware of the inhale landing in your belly and exhale going all the way out.

Now,

Let's mentally give permission to the body and mind to really let go and relax.

Just for this moment,

Just for a few minutes,

Gently place all your agenda,

Your to-do lists,

Your problems,

Your worries on the back burner of your mind.

It's just a few minutes.

Let go and be free.

Give yourself permission to be free of any of this mental chatter and step into this track of your powerful magical breath.

Let's now go on an intimate journey with our breath.

As you inhale and as you exhale,

Realize that your breath holds immense power to transform your life.

I am now going to take you through a breathing technique that I always use with my clients who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety disorder and they immediately find relief and long-term consistent use of this breathing meditation has given them immense benefits.

We are now going to do an inhale,

Hold,

Exhale technique.

We are going to inhale for a count of three,

Hold for a count of two,

And exhale for a count of three.

Let's begin.

We inhale one,

Two,

Three.

Hold one,

Two.

Exhale one,

Two,

Three.

And remember,

Both the inhale and the exhale is done with the nose,

So we do not use the mouth for this particular technique.

Okay,

Let's go on a date with our breath.

Inhale one,

Two,

Three.

Hold one,

Two.

Exhale one,

Two,

Three.

Inhale one,

Let's add a gentle smile to this date.

Inhale one,

Exhale one,

Smile.

Inhale one,

Exhale one,

Inhale one,

Hold one,

Two.

Exhale one,

Two,

Three.

Let's go slightly deeper.

We inhale for a count of four.

We hold for two.

And we exhale for four.

Let's go deeper.

Inhale one,

Two,

Three,

Four.

Hold one,

Two.

Exhale one,

Two,

Three,

Four.

Inhale one,

Two,

Three,

Four.

Hold one,

Two.

Exhale one,

Two,

Three,

Four.

I will leave you for about a minute to continue this breath with a smile.

Can we breathe some freshness?

One,

Two,

Three,

Four.

Hold one,

Two.

Exhale relief.

Two,

Three,

Four.

Inhale new life.

One,

Two,

Three,

Four.

Hold one,

Two.

Exhale the old.

Two,

Three,

Four.

This four count breathing activates your sympathetic nervous system that helps you cool your nerves down.

I'm going to leave you for a couple of minutes.

Anchor yourself with the word relief.

Relief.

Relief.

Keeping this word as your anchor,

Keep continuing the breathing which is a four count inhale.

Hold for two counts.

Exhale for four counts.

Remember the feeling is relief.

We gently bring our attention back to our body.

Become like a monk,

An observer of the aromas,

The sounds,

The sensations and the feelings.

With a lot of love in your heart and a smile on your face,

Let's gently open our eyes to a magical world.

Namaste,

My beautiful people.
