Breath awareness exercise.
We'll sit in easy pose or in the chair.
Eyes are closed.
Pressed gently in gyan motor.
On your lap.
On your knees.
Your back is straight.
Open up your chest.
Move your chin slightly toward the chest.
Eyes are closed gently.
Focusing on the brow point.
Let your body feel balance and stillness.
And let all of your attention gather on the breath.
Sense the breath as a quality of motion.
How does it move in the different parts of your body as you breathe in and out?
We're all made of five elements.
Water,
Fire,
Earth,
Ether and air.
Think what element seems to dominate right now at the present moment.
And how does it change as you continue to meditate during this long deep breathing?
So now bring your attention to this one inch square area above the root of your nose where the eyebrows meet.
Focus your attention through the brow to the navel point area.
Concentrate just below the interior of the umbilicus.
Feel the motion like energy of the breath.
Let the breath merge with the entire cosmos and let the breath breathe you.
Experience yourself as a unit.
Notice the motion and changes in the breath.
Please don't alter it,
Don't change it.
Just observe it and learn to notice your baseline of prana,
Your life force.
You're teaching your mind,
Your awareness to notice the state of energy and motion in your prana.
If any thoughts come,
Just let them pass by.
The character of your thoughts and emotions is reflected in the motion and level of energy in your breath.
And one of the first habits of a yogi is to notice the state of the breath and prana in the body.
Any disturbance in the prana manifests in our body,
In our emotions and behavior.
If you learn what your normal state is,
Then you can notice deviations that are unhealthy as well as healthy as well as your own judgments.
And then you can choose your certain behaviors and patterns to shape your inner motion.
This really simple pranic exercise just increases your awareness of how other people influence you.
Establish your zero point internally so you can notice the impact of all kinds of breaths,
Combinations in your body.
This can be practiced from 3 to 62 minutes.
It's up to you.
And now inhale.
Hold your breath for a second.
Exhale through the mouth.
Relax your hands,
Relax your breath.
Your eyes are still closed.
Just notice your body,
Your breathing.
Notice changes or no changes,
Which is also good.
Okay,
There is no judgment,
No criticism.
This is the way it is.
This is your present moment.
And when you're ready,
You can open your eyes.
Sad mom.
Thank you for practicing.
