Song 1: I Am Loving Awareness (Ram Das, East Forest)
Nadi Shodhana: Alternate Nostril Breathing
Relax your left palm comfortably into your lap and bring your right hand just in front of your face.
With your right hand, bring your pointer finger and middle finger to rest between your eyebrows, lightly using them as an anchor. The fingers we’ll be actively using are the thumb and ring finger.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath in and out through your nose.
Close your right nostril with your right thumb. Inhale through the left nostril slowly and steadily.
Close the left nostril with your ring finger so both nostrils are held closed; retain your breath at the top of the inhale for a brief pause.
Open your right nostril and release the breath slowly through the right side; pause briefly at the bottom of the exhale.
Inhale through the right side slowly.
Hold both nostrils closed (with ring finger and thumb).
Open your left nostril and release breath slowly through the left side. Pause briefly at the bottom.
Repeat for the entire song, allowing your mind to follow your inhales and exhales.
Song 2: I Faith’s Hymn (Beautiful Chorus)
Humming Practice
Research has shown humming to be much more than a self-soothing sound: it affects us on a physical level, reducing stress, inducing calmness, and enhancing sleep as well as lowering heart rate and blood pressure. Humming activates the vagus nerve and turns off your fight or flight reflex. It tells your brain and heart to calm down. It triggers the release of feel-good neurotransmitters including oxytocin to promote feelings of relaxation. And it tells your body to rest and digest.
This is why we have the natural instinct to hum and sing to our children.
Song 3: The Power of Live is Here Now (Alexia Chellun)
Mushti Mudra
Mushti mudra is one of the simple hand gesture that we all come holding on to the earth. As a newborn baby’s hands remain clenched with folded fingers, the same is done while performing mushti mudra.
Besides this, humans generally form this hand gesture subconsciously whenever respond to negative emotion.
Practicing this mudra even for a few minutes helps to alleviate anger, irritation, or aggravation in our systems.
