Can someone suggest a simple relaxation meditation/technique?
Using breath works well because the mind is connected to the breath, so we can use the breath to adjust the mind; therefore:
1. To slow down thought and relax the mind, make the exhale longer than the inhale. Inhale normally fairly quickly for a count of 4, and right away begin to do a slower exhale for a count of 6 or 8, then hold the breath out for a count of two, then repeat: inhale for count of 4, exhale for 8, etc. Do for about 7 minutes, sit quietly, and see how you feel.
2. To interrupt mind thoughts, do breath of fire for about a minute or two, inhale, hold with bhandas, then exhale and relax.
Conversely: To energize and activate, inhale for count of 6 or 8, then hold the inhale for 2, then and exhale for count of 4, and start over right away (with no pause at bottom of exhale). Similarly, for acheiving a balance of the mind, inhale for same count as exhale.
