The intention of this meditation is to entrain your subconscious mind to more easily enter a State of Flow. You know, that state of complete absorption, where you are so immersed in an activity that you lose the sense of time and achieve optimal performance. A state where everything just works, a state of peace and calm, forgetting about yourself, rising to the challenge at hand with inner drive, focus and achieving a better results.
Use this meditation to entrain yourself to enter this state of flow – in work, play or study. This meditation is energizing and not meant to do before sleep or rest.
This is a classic Soma Breath Daily Dose of two rounds. It has two rounds rhythmical breathing, two breath holds on the exhale and two breath holds on the inhale.
A Daily Dose is basically the recommended amount of Soma Breath per day and generally have two or three rounds. We use music in these meditations to help you get into a restful state and to keep the rhythm of your breathing smooth and consistent.
The rhythmical breathing rate in the first round is 4 counts in and 4 counts out. In the second round it starts with 4 counts in and 4 counts out and then switches over to a faster, more energized rhythm of 2 counts in and 2 counts out.
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.
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.
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.
In 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.
I hope you enjoy!
