Guided Pranayama and Mindfulness Meditation for a Calm & Peaceful Mind

- Pranayama is conscious breathwork. There are a variety of Pranayama breathing techniques, and all serve to hyperoxygenate the body and recharge you both physically and mentally. Mindfulness meditation is an awareness technique to cultivate presence. Together, these two practices can create a calm and peaceful mind.
This breathwork and meditation will help you feel grounded and present, calm and clear. This practice will cultivate mental alertness and clarity, while also creating a sense of peace and being in control. It’s a great practice to do in the morning so you start your day with focus, clear intentions, and grounding.
Follow along with Ashton August in this short yet powerful guided pranayama and mindfulness meditation for a calm and peaceful mind. She begins the practice with simple pranayama breathwork and moves into a guided meditation to cultivate awareness and relieve stress.
For this meditation and pranayama practice, we recommend using aromatherapy as a way to deepen your focus and concentration. This video features the Dew Essential Oil Diffuser from ZAQ to create a peaceful and serene setting for your guided pranayama and mindfulness meditation.
Aromatherapy using essential oils is a great way to immediately feel grounded and present, while also encouraging deep and conscious breathing. You can choose any type of essential oil you like, but we recommend lavender for calming, peppermint for deep conscious breathing, and citrus for focus and awareness.

The original video starts at 3:39
You're welcome
Most important thing which has to be understood by the pranayam is that the narrator should themselves be in a calm state. If it is guided, the most important priority is to be calm and explain the audience to be calm themselves. The moment she started breathing, it looked like an anxiety attack which is WRONG! At first attempt, no one can intake that amount of air in one go and most of them are amateurs so the lung capacity is less. It should begin with 2-3 normal' breathing and then gradually increasing the intake as convenient by each individual.
Thank you!💗 Wanted to comment that the music after meditation starts too harshly, it can scary after the relaxation.
beautiful thank you

YogiApproved.com ok thank you
I havent seen this type of breathing in other pranayama before, Its usually slower. Thats like panic attack breathing for me.
It is used a lot actually, eather this perticular circular breathing or in breath of fire kapalabati ( dont know how it written) which is even faster. it is true that it can feel scary but it is so balancing and helpfull if you need more energy or if you need to calm anxiety. There is a need to surrender to the scary part i guess in order to enjoy it, and it might not be for anyone
I felt that too at first, but after trying this I feel great, it helps me deepen my breathe further ❤️
Slooooowwwww down. Needs natural rythm as possible. Emphasize belly breathing. Looked like all chest. - check out some RUclips videos.
I switched off after a 2 minutes. You might want to try this one - ruclips.net/video/mVchZ8D15Ec/видео.html or his other videos for beginners. It's the best one I found - calm, steady, wonderful cues, no sales pitch. I'm sharing because I believe everyone should benefit from a real and proper Pranayama practice especially in today's state of world affairs. May peace be with you and may you be an instrument for peace.
The diffusers from Saje are better.
no.
The diffuser sales pitch totally took me out of the moment - awful!!!

Also maybe don’t put loud happy music at the end of a meditation🤣😂
This is not pranayam...she seems stressed
You have a pretty face
