Namaste everyone.
So this particular breath technique is called stress breath.
It's a very very simple technique to release any kind of tension.
Relax the nervous system and soften the heart rate so it kind of lowers the heart rate.
So if you're doing some form of exercise and you need to kind of lower the heart rate,
Then you would do this particular breath technique.
Also if you get stressed out or a little bit of anxiety or panic you can do this as well.
It's just so effective in this way.
It only takes a couple of minutes and you can do it anywhere.
Anywhere.
And you can just do it if you want to add it to your routine of breath technique,
Pranayama or meditation.
So let me get you familiar with it.
Let's come to a comfortable seated position and if you want to lie down,
That's okay,
Too.
Start to soften the body.
Relax your shoulders,
Ground your sit bones,
Your thighs,
Legs and feet.
Completely relax.
Completely relax.
Now to relax it a little bit more.
Put everything to the side.
So pretend you have a jar,
Like a mason jar.
You're going to place all the things from your mind in there.
So your worries,
Your fears,
Your everydays,
All the things.
Shapes,
Forms,
Identity,
All the things.
Just put it in that particular jar.
So you can be completely relaxed and not distracted.
Now you'll be using your mind a little bit,
Not much,
But just to listen to the direction and then you can be mindless after that.
Again,
You can use this particular technique anywhere.
Just release stress,
Anxiety or panic.
Now start to relax a little bit more.
Start to breathe,
No pain.
And start to breathe.
No particular technique yet.
Just find your breath.
Ah,
There it is.
So I'll repeat and tell you this particular technique.
So all you're doing is inhaling through the nose.
And pretend like you have a small little straw in between the lips and you'll exhale through that tiny hole in your mouth.
Inhale deeply through the nose,
Slowly and efficiently.
Exhale slowly through the mouth in that little hole.
Inhale through the nose.
Exhale through the lips.
Exhale through the lips.
And notice as you exhale,
The length of the exhale makes the body just relax.
The nervous system,
The heart,
Everything.
Keeps you present in presence,
In awareness.
Now continue.
Notice the heart rate is a lot better.
The nervous system is just peaceful.
Your self,
Your being is peaceful as well.
It's always peaceful.
The body is relaxed.
Even the breath is relaxed.
Feel the sensation of the whole body.
Couple more times.
Inhale through the nose.
Exhale through the mouth.
Take your time.
Go slow.
Exhale through the nose.
Exhale through the mouth.
Now let's come back to the natural breath.
So seal your lips.
Again,
Sit up tall.
Find your comfortable seat or position lying down.
Rest your tongue on the roof of the mouth.
Just breathe through your nose.
No more controlling the breath.
Simply relax into the breath.
The last seconds here.
Thank you for joining me.
Namaste everyone.
Namaste.
