60 seconds to a calm mind

We all take breathing for granted and probably don't give it a second thought. This is fine, but when you feel stressed if you take a moment and focus on your breathing and follow the instructions below you will be able to induce a calm mind in no time.

Here is a quick exercise that will release stress and calm your mind is about 60 seconds. It's a Yogic breathing method called "Alternate Nose Breathing".

It is simple and here is how you do it:

1. Sit comfortably and take a few slow, deep breaths.
2. Take your right hand and tuck your index and ring finger into your palm.
3. Then use your thumb and close the right nostril.
4. Inhale through your left nostril to a count of about eight. While doing this focus on the life giving breath entering your body.
5. Close your left nostril with your ring finger, release your thumb, then breath out your right nostril to a count of eight. While doing this visualize the energy circulating throughout your body.
6. Keeping your left nostril closed, breath in your right nostril to a count of eight.
7. Go back to step three and repeat.

This exercise is also a great way to begin a meditation or a self hypnosis session. It puts you in a perfect state for growth and will balance the right and left hemishperes of your brain.

I also perform this technique, when I feel groggy and need a clear mind.
