About this episode
A Calm Coach Guides You Through Intentional Breathwork to Recharge, Reset, and Find Inner Harmony
0:00
For over two thousand years, a simple breathing technique has been used to synchronize the left and right hemispheres of the brain.
0:16
In our last daily breathwork reset, we focused on the power of intentional routines.
0:26
Today, we add a tool that brings immediate, felt balance.
0:33
Find a comfortable seat.
0:36
Spine tall, but not rigid.
0:39
Let your shoulders fall away from your ears.
0:45
Allow your hands to rest in your lap.
0:49
Close your eyes.
0:51
Just arrive here.
0:53
In this chair.
0:55
In this body.
0:57
In this breath.
0:59
Nothing else is required of you right now.
1:04
We are going to practice Nadi Shodhana.
1:09
Alternate Nostril Breathing.
1:12
It sounds complex.
1:14
It is not.
1:15
It is a simple, physical act that quiets the mind.
1:22
Bring your right hand up toward your face.
1:27
Let your left hand rest, palm up, on your knee.
1:33
On your right hand, fold your index finger and your middle finger down into your palm.
1:43
Your thumb, ring finger, and pinky finger remain extended.
1:50
This is the position.
1:53
You will use your thumb to gently close your right nostril.
2:00
You will use your ring finger to gently close your left nostril.
2:08
The pressure is light.
2:11
Like you are touching a soap bubble without popping it.
2:18
Let’s begin.
2:19
Take a deep breath in through both nostrils.
2:25
And a full breath out.
2:27
Now, use your thumb to gently close your right nostril.
2:34
Inhale slowly, quietly, through your left nostril.
2:40
For a count of four...
2:43
three...
2:44
two...
2:45
one.
2:45
At the top of the inhale, use your ring finger to close your left nostril.
2:54
Both are now closed.
2:57
Hold the breath for just a moment.
3:01
Stillness.
3:02
Now release your thumb from your right nostril.
3:08
Exhale slowly, completely, through the right side.
3:14
Four...
3:15
three...
3:16
two...
3:17
one.
3:17
Stay here.
3:19
Inhale through that same right nostril.
3:23
Slow and steady.
3:25
Four...
3:26
three...
3:27
two...
3:28
one.
3:28
At the top, close the right nostril with your thumb.
3:35
Both closed.
3:36
A moment of quiet.
3:39
Release your ring finger from the left nostril.
3:44
Exhale fully, gently, through the left side.
3:50
Four...
3:51
three...
3:52
two...
3:52
one.
3:53
That is one complete round.
3:56
You have balanced one cycle of breath.
4:01
Now, continue on your own.
4:04
Inhale left.
4:06
Exhale right.
4:07
Inhale right.
4:09
Exhale left.
4:10
Find a rhythm that feels good for you.
4:15
Unforced.
4:16
Smooth.
4:17
If your mind wanders, and it will, just bring it back to the feeling of the air.
4:27
The coolness on the inhale.
4:30
The warmth on the exhale.
4:33
There is nothing else to do.
4:37
Left side.
4:38
Right side.
4:39
Each breath a path back to your center.
4:44
You are not trying to stop your thoughts.
4:49
You are just giving them less to hold onto.
4:54
Continue for three more rounds at your own pace.
5:00
This is your time.
5:03
This is your breath.
5:05
After your next exhale through the left nostril, complete your final round.
5:14
When you are done, release your right hand back down to your lap.
5:22
Keep your eyes closed.
5:25
Breathe normally through both nostrils.
5:30
And notice.
5:31
Just notice the shift.
5:34
The quiet.
5:35
The stillness behind your eyes.
5:39
The feeling of being settled in your own skin.
5:45
This clarity was here all along.
5:49
You just cleared the path to it.
5:53
Take one more deep breath in.
5:56
And let it go with a .
5:59
When you are ready, you can open your eyes.
6:04
The center is always there.
