Need to be energized?
Here a quick set….for all of us.
UJJYAI Breath does this for you:
it soothes the nervous system, calms the mind and increases psychic sensitivity. It relieves insomnia, slows down the heart rate and lowers blood pressure. It is a tranquilizing pranayama, but it also has a heating effect, stimulating the process of oxidation.
Here’s what you really need to know though,
You actually have to do the PRANAYAMA
Are you willing?
say YES!
I’ve made a worksheet to keep a “diary” of the amount of breathwork you’re doing daily and I’ve made 3 different patterns. Check them out HERE
I made this really for myself as sometimes I just don’t follow what I say, so this will hold me accountable to just me. I thought you’d like it as well.
If you’re wondering more about breathwork, I have a small book coming out soon so that you can read all about it. I’ll let you know when it’s done. It’s taking me longer since I’ve drawn the images in the book and I’m pretty particular about what I put out into the public.
Banyan Botanicals nails it with this statement:
Ujjayi Pranayama, also known as the Breath of Victory, is a widely used pranayama in the yogic tradition. Ujjayi comes from the Sanskrit prefix ud, which means “bondage” or “binding” as well as “upward” and “expanding.” This prefix is combined with the root ji, which means “to conquer” or “acquire by conquest.”
In other words, ujjayi pranayama is about obtaining freedom from bondage. Because it is performed with a slight constriction at the back of the throat, this objective speaks to both the physical and spiritual aspects of the ujjayi practice.
This pranayama is deeply tranquilizing, mildly heating, balancing for all three doshas, and appropriate for most anyone to practice.
So IF you’ve encountered restless nights, the need for energy, the purity of freedom, practice with me daily.
In my new Etsy store, I also have worksheets on “Letting Go” & “Sun & Moon Rituals” that you may want to grab at 50% off.

(I take summers off and I’ve traveled a lot. Currently I’m in the high country of Flagstaff, AZ…getting out of the sweltering heat of the desert.)
