Power of Breath Meditation

(This is a two part exercise. Feel free to do one or both!)

Sit comfortably (either cross-legged or in a chair) Make sure that your back is straight and chin slightly tucked in. Place your wrists on your knees with the palms facing up. Touch your index finger to your thumb making a circle. This Mudra is called "Guyan Mudra" and it fosters knowledge and openness. Allow your eyes to close.

Phase I - Deep Breathing (Yogic Breath)....

On the inhale, allow your abdomen to expand first, then allow your chest to expand as your lungs fill with air. When your lungs are comfortably filled with air, reverse the process. On the exhale, allow your chest to collapse first and then collapse the abdomen and continue to comfortably contract the abdominal muscles towards the spine pushing as much stale air as comfortably possible and then repeat the process. Continue like this for a few minutes or as long as you like.

Phase II - The 4:1 Healing Energy Breath

In your comfortable meditating posture, with your eyes closed, allow your attention to be drawn to your third eye ( the area directly above the space between your eyebrows.) With your mouth closed, inhale completely in four distinct, smooth, gentle "sniffs". Then, allow the breath to escape in one long, relaxing exhale. Continue like this for as little as 3 minutes or as long as 11minutes. (If you are new to meditation or energetic work,  take it slow. doing too much too quickly may be more harmful than good.)
