This is a short, 11 min guided Soma Breath meditation for relaxation and restoration. It has one round rhythmical breathing, a breath hold on the exhale and a breath hold on the inhale.
For the best experience use headphones. You can either sit up with your spine straight or, lay down on your back, somewhere you will not be disturbed. Comfort is of importance.
Remember, always breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. Breathe in, down in your belly first, then the chest. If you choose to lie down, you can monitor your breathing pattern by having one hand on your chest and one on your belly, where the hand on the belly rises first. Alternatively, keep your arms at your sides. Comfort is important.
The rhythmical breathing rate is quite slow, 5 breaths per minute with 4 counts in and 8 counts out. For some this can be a bit slow at first, but after you have used it a few times it will be fine. Breathe fully, but soft and quiet.
For the breath hold on the exhale, try to push your limits, move your head, neck and shoulder to help you and take a quick sip in and out if you need it. The hold on exhalation becomes easier with practice and easier for each round in the Soma Breath meditations with more than one round.
In our guided meditations we work in our inner world, so using our imagination is essential. And, as we all know, if we can’t use our imagination nothing is ever created – so just follow the guiding and let it take you for a journey.
Dive in for a quick, but deep relaxation to recharge your batteries on a busy day. I hope you enjoy!
