The "sense of being" is difficult to describe. It's really not something that CAN be described. So here. Instead of trying to put it into words, let's just meditate and try to feel it. Isn't that better anyway?  Check out my Patreon to show support for this podcast: Rian Michael Yoga

Equal breath ratio, alternate nostril breathing, using color to purify.

Watching the breath, counting with om, and clearing the energy centers.

Here we develop our relationship with life force through the simple act of total breath awareness.

Awareness moving to each area we experience the breath, counting backwards from 27 to 0.

This includes an equal breath ratio and a segmented inhale an exhale, also equal. Creating balance in the push and pull of breath.

A simple lil breath practice designed to fill ya and thrill ya

This is a simply a space for you to sit and "meditate." This is less of a guided practice and more of a chance for you to sit, relax, and be.

The practice deepens energetic awareness and allows you to check in on each energy center, just to feel how each center is and see what is held within.

These practices are best done on an empty stomach right in the morning. This is meant to awaken the digestion and energy at the core.

This is a pointed and potent return to centering. Enjoy.

Simple breathing awareness and entering into a quiet space within yourself.

This version of Kapalbhati, or breath of fire, is simplified for beginners and includes an introduction to retaining the breath.

This is a super simple practice. It involves following the breath through several centers, growing deeply calm, and experiencing inner quiet.

This recording is designed to relax you in a short and palatable mouthful. Longer practices go deeper, but this is just an introduction.  Lie down on the floor, or find a comfortable seat that you can relax in.  We will breathe, be aware of the body, and breathe. Just listen to instructions for 13 minutes and see the change.  For more, see my website .
