I would like to share with all of you pranayama or breath work to balance your emotions and calm your heart when you feel overwhelmed or stressed or you feel anxiety in your body or fear.
So let's get into the comfortable position seated in a chair or a cushion with your spine straight upright but not too tight.
If you're sitting in a chair make sure your feet are on the floor and close your eyes gently bringing your attention to the body,
Noticing your body here at this moment.
Feeling the weight of your body on the chair or the floor.
Take one deep long breath,
Bring oxygen to yourself,
To your body and when you exhale relax more deeply into the posture,
Allowing your body to soften and relax.
And start rubbing your hands together in front of your chest,
Rubbing your hands,
Activate all the energetic points or nodules,
Energy channels you have in your hands.
And now put your hands in a prayer pose next to the heart center,
Your fingers are touching,
Your thumbs touching your sternum.
We're going to inhale through the nose on the count of four and exhale through the nose on the count of four.
And when you inhale on the count of four you make four inhales until your lungs are completely full.
And when you exhale you make four exhales until your lungs are completely empty.
So inhaling through the nose in four equal parts and then exhaling through the nose in four equal parts.
Continue at your own pace and listen to the singing balls while you're getting centered into your body,
Breathing into your body.
At your own pace we will do this pranayama for three minutes.
You can do it on your own for 11 minutes.
Breathing through the nose inhaling in four equal parts and exhaling through the nose inhaling through the nose in four equal parts.
And when you inhale you exhale through the nose in four equal parts.
And then exhale through the nose in four equal parts.
And now inhale.
Into your body through the nose and hold your breath for as long as you can.
And when you cannot hold it anymore exhale through the nose.
Now you can open your eyes,
Enjoy the benefits of pranayama that balances your emotions and helps you to calm down your heart.
