UJAYII BREATH FOR TRANQUILITY
In this downloadable recording, I guide you through how to practice Ujayii Breath.
As taught by Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, this breath is also known as the victorious. conqueror or psychic breath. It’s a soft audible breath that we all do at night when we are deeply asleep. This breath slows down the inhalation and exhalation, having a calming effect and signalling the body to enter deep rest.
Ujayii can be done quietly or loudly. When we practice it loudly, we can ‘drown’ our thoughts in the sound. It can be helpful to imagine the sound of Ujayii as the sound of the waves in the ocean. We can visualise the sound of the ocean in our throats taking us into a place of profound peace and quiet.
Use the Ujayii breath when you need to centre yourself. Or if you’re feeling anxious or scared. It can also be used as a contagious sleepy breath, you can use it as a lullaby for yourself or your children to encourage the journey into sleep. Ujayii breath can be very effective to encourage deep rest while practising Yoga Nidra.
You can do this practice from a comfortable and appropriate resting position. It’s often easier to begin lying down and, once it becomes familiar, you can do it in any posture or even on the move with your little one.
