Thanks for tuning in this year folks; I truly hope it has been helping. Today’s session starts with two rounds of energetic mouth breathing, followed by a 4-7-8 breath pattern. A great way to finish the year and reflect on how this year has been for you. Thanks again for tuning in! Huge love to you and your family.  purvida x

Holotrophic is an ancient technique which was used to essentially ‘reset’ the brain. Usually sessions involve three hours worth of fast and deep breathing. I’m delivering it in 12 minutes 🙂 - you’ll still feel the benefits. When we breathe to this degree, CO2 will start to decrease from the body and blood alkalinity will start to increase. When this occurs, certain areas of the brain light up, wh...

Good day all. This session is designed to calm things down. We use the method of CO2 build up which essentially means we take small and slow breaths of air in, building up CO2 in the blood. This releases oxygen from the red blood cells and into the cells, muscles and brain. We also further our exhale which activates the parasympathetic nervous system, putting us into a state of calm and reducing l...

Join me for a science-backed approach for reducing anxiety and stressful thoughts and feelings. Come explore a rhythm of 4 seconds on the inhalation, 5 second holding and a 8 second exhalation. And breathe... purvida x

Three rounds: 10 breaths with a 10 second exhale hold 20 breaths with a 20 second exhale hold 30 breaths with a one long exhale hold A powerful practice for clearing the head and resetting yourself. You’ll also feel a great buzz after!   purvida x

Find a nice quiet space in a kneeling position and prepared to be energised through the power of ‘piston breathing’. An intense breath practice used as a way of escaping the mind very quickly and providing a nice mental release. Don’t force anything - go with the flow!  purvida x

Join me today for a quick body scan release and a coherent breathing session. Coherent breathing is a 5 second inhale, 5 second hold and a 5 second exhale. A session designed to escape heavy thoughts and leave you refreshed. I hope you enjoy!  Purvida x

This evening, we set an intention for the session with something we want to let go. Any tension, stress, anxiety or pressure is to be released with this session. With every exhale, let it go!  Thanks for tuning in 🙂 Purvida x

Come and end your week with this 15 minute guided Breathwork session. A session designed to help you end your week with a bit of peace and calm. I think you’ll enjoy this one.  purvida x

3 breathing exercises, 10 minutes of calm and a whole lot of meditating. That’s how I’d best describe tonight’s session. Find a nice quiet spot and come join me for another sleep session. You’re great. Thanks so much for tuning in!  purvida x

Today we start with a bit of transcendental meditation; a much shorter demonstration but still a form of the meditation nonetheless. We then delve into a nice controlled triple inhale, single exhale relaxation.  I hope you enjoy the session and as usual, it is helping you one way or another    purvida x

Today we set an intention for the week; followed by a breath flow to get our day going. A lot of the time, if we set our minds to something and bring it to life, such as an intention for the week; we are more likely to do that specific thing in mind, rather than just thinking about it.  I hope it provides some direction for you going into a new week. You’re great.  purvida x

One easy and calming breath session; designed to help you sleep and there for when you can’t sleep. I really hope you like and enjoy it!    Big love, as always  purvida x

Come take 7 minutes out this weekend with a practice that will give your headspace what it needs: a refresh. I hope you like this episode and my voice didn’t sound too groggy, like my head.  purvida x

A nice and simple one to follow but I think you’ll feel pretty lovely after doing this one. Come take some time out with purvida and take your mind away on a little holiday.  Thanks for tuning in as always. purvida x

Big love this Monday all. This was uploaded as a shorter version for World Mental Health Day yesterday. It’s easy to follow, no waffle and ticks the mindfulness box for the day. Thanks so much for taking the time to tune in to purvida. To me, that’s one step closer to the vision.   purvida x

A new session for you to try out and one which I am getting into myself - Alternate Nostril Breathing. A nice calm feeling to follow... I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for tuning in purvida x

Skip to 01:48 seconds if you wish to skip the lowdown as to why we may have the Monday blues, according to psychologists.  Nice and simple with some mouth breathing, to generate some energy, to start our day.  Tick mindfulness off today’s to-do list.   purvida x

I couldn’t think of a sleep title for today’s session. Macbeth came to mind. Backed up by science, sleep is a natural anxiolytic (anxiety inhibitor) if we get enough of it. Sleep is going to be a huge part of purvida. Which I cannot wait to keep evolving to help you all further. purvida x

An evidenced-based way to reduce anxiety is to further our exhales, greater than our inhales. This will reduce the fight and flight stress response, reduce heart rate variability (space between beats) and ultimately lead to a ‘more’ relaxed state of mind.   Enjoy. As usual, thanks for tuning in! purvida x

Working on slightly different and new techniques which I believe, work really really well. As usual, follow along and be guided all the way through, for a mental refreshment.   purvida x

Diaphragmatic breathing (belly breathing sounds better), has been shown by many studies that it reduces feelings of anxiety and creates calm. Although, I personally don’t believe this is the result for everyone, it certainly brings ‘some’ send of peace and joy. I think you’ll really like this one. purvida x

Although not totally silent, there’s something real refreshing to just sit there and not focus on anything but relaxing music. Remember, purvidashorts are sessions you can do really quickly without taking too much time out of your day. Enjoy.   purvida x

Setting an intention for the week, a little breathing session and a calm mind to start your Monday. Purvida style. Enjoy!  purvida x
