Namaskar. Many people carry the weight of their mental fatigue without even realizing it. You
may feel tired even after a full night's sleep. You may find yourself irritable, distracted or
overwhelmed by small, small things. Often this is not a physical tiredness. It is a mental clutter.
In yoga we say that mind needs rest just as much as our body and one of the simplest ways to do
that is through breath awareness. Today we will understand how the breath can help you to detox
your mind and at the end we will guide you short two-minute practice. You can do it anytime
and it can help you feel calmer and more focused and at the end I will also give you a special tip
to manage negativity and negative thoughts. So let's understand how breath awareness works
in clearing your mind. In yoga breath is called prana, the life force and the state of your breath
is directly linked to the state of your mind. Throughout the day your mind collects impression
from the moment you wake up. You are exposed to news, conversations, notifications, tasks,
worries and endless distractions. Each of these leaves a trace and slowly without realizing it
the mind becomes crowded. When the mind is like this it becomes disturbed and when your mind is
disturbed your breath becomes shallow. You may feel confused, anxious or emotionally exhausted.
Small things may start to bother you. Even restful activities may not feel restful anymore
but when your mind is calm your breath becomes deep and steady. This connection works both ways.
If you learn to observe your breath even for two minutes it can help you pause endless flows of
thoughts and emotions. It brings your attention to the present and helps your mind settle. This is
not a technique to control the breath. It is simply about observing it quietly without judgment and
over times it just becomes a habit that clears the mind naturally. Now let's practice a two-minute
guided breath awareness. Sit comfortably be on the chair or on the floor. Keep your spine straight
and shoulders relaxed. If possible close your eyes gently or you can lower your gaze. Now give your
attention to your breath. Just notice it where you feel it in the nostril or your chest or your
abdomen. Let it be natural. You are not changing your breaths only observing. As the breath comes
in and goes out with each breath allow your mind to rest. If a thought comes gently return
to your breath. Feel the cool air as you breathe in. Feel a warm air as you breathe out. This inhale
exhale. Let your breath flow like a gentle wave in and out. If the mind wanders just return to the
breath with kindness and patience. Now take one more gentle breath in and slowly breathe out and
gently you may open your eyes now. Now at the end let me also give you a practice to deal with your
negative thought that is Pratipaksha Bhavana. This technique will help many of you being in a
constant negative state that has become a big problem in your lives nowadays. What you have
to do is in this technique is whenever your mind has negative thoughts you have to replace it with
positive thoughts. For example if you feel upset because someone is interrupting you try to shift
your focus something you value about them. Maybe they are supportive. Maybe they have a good sense
of humor or are always willing to help when you need them. Slowly train your mind to look at the
brighter side instead of getting stuck on the negative. So use Pratipaksha how to deal with
overly negative thoughts and use breath awareness for mental detox. This breath awareness practice
can be done anytime when you feel overwhelmed or restless. Even two minutes of quiet breathing can
help you feel centered and present. We do not have to wait for a perfect time you only need to pause
sit quietly and have a breath awareness. When your breath becomes your friend
mind slowly begins to heal. So take care of your mind. Namaskar
