If you would like to start off your day fresh,
Wind down your day before going to sleep,
Or simply recenter yourself throughout the day,
Then this is the best breathing meditation to try.
This progressive relaxation technique is focused on alternate nostril breathing.
It will help to cultivate a profound sense of well-being and achieve a balance on your physical,
Mental,
And emotional aspects.
Please be seated in a cross-leg position or be seated on a chair with your feet touching the ground.
Make sure you feel comfortable in your position and remember to keep your spine straight.
Whenever you're ready,
Gently close your eyes.
Let's take a deep breath together.
Inhale deeply.
Then exhale slowly.
During this exercise,
You'll be using your index finger and your thumb alternatively.
Please use your index finger to close off your left nostril completely and inhale deeply through your right nostril.
Now,
Please use your thumb to close your right nostril completely and exhale through your left nostril.
Next,
Please inhale through your left nostril fully.
Now,
Close your left nostril completely and exhale through your right nostril.
That was one complete cycle and we'll repeat this alternate nostril breathing again.
Use your index finger to close off your left nostril and inhale deeply through your right nostril.
Then,
Please use your thumb to close your right nostril completely and exhale through your left nostril.
Next,
Please inhale through your left nostril fully.

Now,
Please repeat this alternate nostril breathing for the next few minutes.
Wherever you are in your breathing process,
Please lower your right hand and let it relax on the side.
Inhale deeply with both nostrils open.
Hold the breath for a few moments.
Exhale slowly.
Observe your natural breathing for a minute and let the energy you have just created internally settle down within yourself.
Now,
Please repeat this alternate nostril breathing for the next few minutes.
Great job.
You did it.
Hope this meditation was able to bring you to a calm state,
Make you feel more at ease,
And maintain your mental clarity.
