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:

1. Place your hands on your heart and your belly
2. Close your eyes (optional)
3. Inhale through your nose the word and idea "Calm" into your lower hand
4. Hold for a count of 5
5. Exhale through your mouth the word and idea "Down"
6. Hold for a count of 5
7. 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.
