Meditation Tech of the Week:
The Calm Down Breath
The Calm Down Breath is the foundation of what I teach my students for energy management. It is essential and quite powerful - soothing and processing your energy, emotions and pain in a safe, natural way.
To preform the Calm Down Breath:
- Place your hands on your heart and your belly
- Close your eyes (optional)
- Inhale through your nose the word and idea "Calm" into your lower hand
- Hold for a count of 5
- Exhale through your mouth the word and idea "Down"
- Hold for a count of 5
- Repeat steps 3-6 at least 5 times, or in multiples of 5 as needed
The number 5 in numerology represents Change, so if you want to shift your situation from overwhelm to calm, cycles of 5 are energetically important!
Please use this technique whenever you feel pain, stress, overstimulation or overwhelm. It pairs well with soft music! Might I suggest this lovely song.
I have personally used this to relieve insomnia, migraines, and acute pain.
I have students who have reported that they use this for anxiety, anger, and preparation & recovery from surgery.
