This is breathwork and breathing practices to help you calm the mind and sleep.
The first thing we need to do is prepare—and usually when we prepare for breathwork, we get excited, because we are usually doing breaths for charging, awakening, and preparing for something we need energy for, but not at night.
Close your eyes.
To calm the mind, I invite you to take it to a beach, waterfall, mountain top, or a void where we are completely isolated and free of distractions, with no fear of the past or worry about the future.
Everything for the day is done and handled.
Time is no longer a concern.
We will not be counting anything. Counting replaces distraction with another distraction.
We are emptying the mind, being present, one with our being, and in control—we are mastering ourselves.
Take a few unrushed slow, deep breaths.
After a few breaths, breathe in deeply and hold for around five seconds. Breathe out.
Another deep breath. On this hold, go deep into your body and be one with your brain and heart, for it is you and in your control.
Let the air out and take another deep breath, and hold. Now connect with any feeling of unease, fear, or anxiety. Simply connecting to it and recognizing it will help you control it. Let it out.
Take another deep breath and hold. We do not master ourselves or are able to calm the mind without taking responsibility for our creation.
It is you and you alone who is pushing the mind, depleting it and causing feelings that do not allow calmness. Let it out.
Another breath. With this one, connect to your heartbeat...Stay connected. Let it out.
Take another deep breath and hold, stay connected with your heartbeat...you are in control. Lower it, slow down your thinking and mind. Let it out.
Another deep one...slow down...more......and more.........and more. Now you take it from here. Satnam.
