How to achieve peace through pranayama and meditation
Focusing on breathing
Before starting meditation, it is important to sit in a comfortable position. The back should be straight and comfortable, and the eyes should be closed. The first stage of meditation is to pay attention to the rhythm of breathing. Clearly understand the speed and rhythm of breathing while inhaling and exhaling.
This practice follows a simple breathing pattern:
- Inhale for a count of 4
- Exhale for a count of 6
This regular breathing rhythm calms the body and mind and relieves anxiety.
Body scan
After focusing on the rhythm of your breath, it is necessary to move on to different parts of your body. This process is called a body scan.
In this, you will start with your feet and gradually move your attention to:
- Feet
- Knees
- Thighs and pelvic area
- Abdomen and lower back
- Chest and upper back
- Shoulders and arms
- Throat and head
- All the muscles of the mouth and face
Focusing on each part, making it calm and comfortable with your breath.
Focusing on the midpoint
After the body scan, bring the attention to the midpoint (between the sides), that is, between the two eyebrows. Focusing here improves the concentration of the mind and frees you from scattered thoughts.
If the mind wanders, do not get angry and patiently try to bring the attention back to the midpoint. Repeating this process continuously increases the concentration of the mind.
Nadi Shodan Pranayama: Balance of Breath and Peace of Mind
What is Nadi Shodan Pranayama?
Nadi Shodan Pranayama is an ancient breathing technique that cleanses the energy channels (nadis) of the body and calms the mind. In this pranayama, the rhythm and path of the breath are changed, which is extremely beneficial for the body and mind.
How to do Nadi Shodan Pranayama
- Bring the left hand into Chin Mudra (the union of the thumb and the other fingers of the hand with the thumb and radius).
- Place the index and middle fingers of the right hand on the brow bone.
- Inhale through the left nostril, exhale through the right nostril.
- Then inhale through the right nostril and exhale through the left nostril.
- Repeat this cycle.
Doing this Pranayama regularly brings peace and freshness to the mind.

Respect and gratitude (gratitude)
After meditation and breathing rhythm, it is very important to invoke respect and gratitude in the heart. This activity increases positive energy and love in the mind.
