A Simple Kundalini Practice for Mental Calm, Focus, and Nervous System Balance
Some days, the mind just needs a reset.
Life can be over-stimulating. So energy builds up, and our attention starts to scatter.
On tougher days, our thoughts might loop, focus slips, and we get reactive. The nervous system gets noisy and agitated.
WE GET IT!
This Kundalini practice offers a simple, effective way to come back into balance - using breath and movement to calm the mind, reconnect with clear intention, and release excess energy from the body.
It’s helpful for releasing mental chatter, anxiety, restlessness, or in moments when you want to feel more grounded and self-directed.
It can be especially helpful when working with compulsive patterns or intrusive thoughts.
Rather than forcing control, the practice helps our internal system organize itself, so the ability to perceive and choose from expansiveness arises naturally.
Here’s the practice:
⭐️ Left Nostril Breathing with Exhale through the Right Nostril (Chandra Bedhana) - Calms the mind and soothes the nervous system (1-3 minutes)
⭐️ Breath of Fire - Activates balanced will, focus, and inner steadiness (1-3 minutes)
⭐️ Shaking & Movement - Releases excess energy and physical tension from the body (1-3 minutes)
Following the video below will move you through each phase in sequence, allowing the effects of one to prepare you for the next.
Even 1 minute of each phase will shift your state 🙏
Being clear and self-directed doesn’t have to mean excess effort or restraint.
Sometimes it’s simply the result of a calm mind, a deep breath, and a body that’s been given permission to move and release.
Use this practice whenever you want to feel more centered, focused, and at ease - or anytime your system needs a reset.
* Quick note on Breath of Fire:
Breath of Fire is a powerful, activating breath. This practice is not recommended if you are pregnant, have had recent surgery (especially abdominal, spinal, or cardiac), have uncontrolled high blood pressure or heart conditions (including a pacemaker), epilepsy or seizure disorders, an active hernia, or a history of severe anxiety, panic, or breath-induced dissociation.
If you’re unsure whether this breath is appropriate for you, choose slow, steady breathing instead.
