HOME THERAPIES – (for best results, use two or more)
1)
**Yogic Breath Technique ('20-20-20' technique):
Inhale, hold, and exhale breath for a count of 20 each. It does not need to be 20. Use whatevercount is comfortable without straining, so long as the inhalation, holding, and exhalation are the same and equal. Repeat the cycle 6 times. Can be repeated throughout the day if needed. Great before bed!
2)
Buddha Belly Breathing
Lie on your back with legs up the wall. Place a hand on forehead, the other on abdomen. Take slow deep breaths. On inhalation, fill your belly with air, like filling a balloon. Hold for 3 seconds, exhale completely. Focus the breath low into the abdomen not the upper chest. Continue for 5 minutes.
3) Alternate Nostril Breathing (Pranayama)
Close the right nostril with your thumb, inhale slowly through the left nostril, then close it with th ring finger. Pause. Open and exhale slowly through the right nostril. With the right nostril open, inhale slowly, then close it with your thumb. Pause. Exhale through the left nostril. Once exhalation is complete, inhale through the left. Pause before moving to the right. Repeat this pattern 5-10 times. It may take some practice, but it's worth it!
4) **Guided Meditations
This is possibly the most requested and successful method of deeply calming the mind and body. Go to
yogananda.org, and click on Meditate, then under Experience Meditation, choose either '
Instructions for Beginners', or '
Guided Meditations'. Scroll down and find a guided meditation that appeals to you. They are all fairly short. For those who don't have much time, these are perfect! Many people find there's an immediate relief or sense of calmness and peace. Others find it takes some time and patience. The investment can pay rich dividends as these are lifetime skills. And they're
FREE! Enjoy.
