This meditation is designed to listen to first thing in the morning. You're guided to get out of your head and into your heart where you will explore a desired feeling to show your subconscious how you would like to move through your day. Moving away from habitual thoughts that reside in the past and focusing your attention and intention towards how you want to feel to co-create your day.

Start your day with intention

A 7-minute guide for deep belly breathing to stimulate the vagus nerve and calm the body's stress response. Aim for 6 breaths per minute: 5 seconds inhaling and 5 seconds exhaling. Allow a complete sense of relaxation come over you.

Deep belly breathing

Kumbhaka in sanskrit essentially means “to retain the breath.” This breath technique is known to help restore energy, improve circulation, increase cognitive function and strengthen the respiratory system. Its ability to oxygenate the blood are of benefit to the liver and digestive system as a whole. In thisrecording, we practice the breath retention at the top of the inhale and bottom of the exhale. Aiming to breathe and hold for equal parts/counts. If you find it hard to hold the breath for the full amount of time, release and resume with the next part. It will get easier with practice and you can lengthen the amount as it’s accessible for you over time.

Kumbhaka breath practice

Anapana means observation of natural, normal breath. It's designed to keep you coming back to the present moment and helps develop concentration. Don't worry about the thoughts, that's normal. 
Just keep coming back to the breath. Every time you do this practice you strengthen your capacity to be in the present moment.
