The busy mind that often accompanies chronic anxiety can make it difficult to meditate or calm your nervous system. In this short class, David shows you how you can use gentle pranayama to more effectively transition into a meditation practice.
This is a very energizing practice, with the active inhalation and exhalation and gentle pumping action increasing gradually in speed . I can really feel how it gets my blood circulating and my awareness drawn to my abdominal muscles. Very glad you suggested that it was natural if I felt tingling and a little dizzy afterwards to accept and relax into these sensations . For me it naturally led into wanting to sit and breath meditatively and mindfully observe all these sensations gradually subside!
