A disturbed breath leads to a disturbed mind, while a steady breath results in a steady mind. This profound connection between our breath and mental clarity. Regular practice of pranayama, not only regulates breathing but also positively influences our state of mind, promoting inner calm and clarity.

Here are 5 Pranayamas:
1. Shunyaka Pranayama
– After complete exhalation, suspend the breath for a duration comfortable for you.
– Benefits include improved focus, reduced thoughts, and calming of the mind.
– Activates the colon and helps normalize lung and heart functions.

2. Kumbhaka Pranayama
– Involves holding the breath after inhalation or exhalation.
– Increases carbon dioxide levels, activating the brain’s respiratory center.
– Enhances oxygenation, promoting better overall health and concentration.

3. Rechaka Pranayama
– Focuses on extended exhalation to release air from the lungs.
– Facilitates better oxygenation and ventilation.
– Reduces mental clutter and improves concentration.

4. Anuloma-Viloma Pranayama
– Involves alternating breaths through each nostril in a regulated pattern.
– Balances the positive and negative effects of breathing on body and mind.
– Enhances oxygenation, sedates the nervous system, and improves concentration.

5. Bhramari Pranayama
– Mimics the humming sound of a bee during exhalation.

These pranayama techniques are beneficial for calming the mind, improving concentration, and enhancing overall mental clarity. Regular practice can significantly support your mental well-being along with complementary practices like yoga asanas, mindful dietary choices, and relaxation techniques.

  24. The Thinking Mind has always something to say, observe it. It will go back and forth and even say contradicting things. Observe how it is Judging, Labeling, Analyzing, Assessing, Planning, Reacting (without knowing the complete truth). It never stops and that is the nature of our Thinking Mind….Past or Future, seldom IN THE MOMENT.

    The key is to become AWARE of its nature and you will take a step closer to freedom. Watching the thoughts Come and Go, OBSERVE the Space between the Thoughts & The Silence underneath the Noise.

    It is absolutely OK we get pulled into by The Thinking Mind, it will happen frequently. The TIP is that each time when you realise that you have been pulled under, just be Aware and Mindful. It's like a swimmer who come up for air and gets pulled under again.

    Overtime with consistent practice of oberving Mindfulness and Awareness …thoughts will have less control on us. We will definitely get pulled under by our thoughts again and again but by observing, being aware each time we will spend less time under and breathe more Air. Remember it's a continuous battle between our Conscious and Unconscious Mind ( which governs our thoughts and actions 95% and makes us on Auto Pilot Mode from Childhood itself).
