How to Do the Breath of Ten Meditation
When you’re first starting out with the breath of ten meditation, it may take some practice. This is tricky pranayama exercise, and so the more you concentrate and focus, the better.
Directions
- Start by sitting in Easy Pose. Make sure that you’re sitting up straight.
- Bend your elbows at your sides so that your hands are in front of you. Hold them paralel palm-to-palm as though you were about to clap. Slowly move your hands toward one another and stop when there is around an eight-inch gap between them. Continually move your hands in and out in this manner.
- Ensure that you are focusing on the energy that you have between your two palms. Center your concentration in that area.
- The timing of your breath coincides with your movements. Breath in through the nose for the first five strokes and complete five clapping motions. Next, you need to exhale through the mouth for five strokes and complete the five clapping motions.
- Keep an ongoing rhythm as you move. Continue this meditation for 11 minutes.
- To complete the breath of ten meditation, inhale deeply and hold for 20 counts. As you do so, push your hands against your face. Release. Inhale once more holding your breath for 20 counts and press your hands on your heart center. Release. Inhale a final time, hold for 20 counts, and press your hands on your navel point. Release and relax.
Beginner’s tip: Start by taking 11 minutes to complete this meditation. As you move through your journey, you can increase this period to up to 16 ½ minutes.
