Sat Nam!
Today I’m excited to show you a meditation practice called ‘Meditation for a Calm Heart’.
I have found this meditation very useful at different times in my life – when I’ve felt anxious or had a lot of emotional turbulence and change happening. This meditation will help you to cultivate a peaceful heart and a neutral mind, so that you can communicate from your intuition, grounded in peace.
It is a beautiful practice for beginners because it involves an easy mudra and a simple breath pattern.
Practice this Kundalini meditation to relieve yourself of anxiety, strengthen your immune system, open your heart, and bring clarity to your relationships. This meditation brings stillness to the heart centre, and gives you space to perceive and assess your relationships.
I highly recommend that you give this practice a try. Perhaps commit to doing it once a day for 3 minutes every day this week! With consistent practice you will find yourself coming into a neutral, non-reactive place and feel steady and strong amidst the challenges you face.
The entire posture of this meditation induces a feeling of calmness. The left hand is for receiving, placed at the heart centre. It creates a deep stillness at that point. The right hand is for giving, for projecting, for action and analysis. It is placed in a receptive, relaxed mudra and put in the position of peace.
Emotionally, this meditation adds clear perception to your relationships with yourself and others. If you are upset at work or in a personal relationship, sit in this meditation for 3 to 5 minutes before deciding how to act. Then act with your full heart.
Sat Nam,
I’m so excited to share this short Kundalini yoga practice with you today. It’s a personal favourite of mine for increasing my energy levels and helping me to feel focused and grounded. This short meditation technique can be used as a tool to completely re-organise your energy. If you are feeling stuck, fearful or overwhelmed, this is the meditation for you!
Note: If you are pregnant or on the first three days of your menstrual cycle, do long, slow, deep breathing instead of breath of fire.
The practice I’m going to share with you today is known as Ego Eradicator, it combines an arm position with a powerful breathing technique known as the Breath of Fire.
This practice is an amazing way to increase your physical and mental endurance. Ego eradicator is an incredibly energising practice, oxygenating the blood, expanding lung capacity and activating the digestive system. It can also balance the left and right hemispheres of the brain and strengthen the nervous system.
I like to do this short meditation practice before I go into a presentation or a meeting or have an important conversation, anytime that I need to feel aligned, confident and focused.
Emotionally, this meditation adds clear perception to your relationships with yourself and others. If you are upset at work or in a personal relationship, sit in this meditation for 3 to 5 minutes before deciding how to act. Then act with your full heart.
