The 4 x 4 Meditation

This is my absolute go-to breathing technique, for times of high anxiety and mental restlessness. The technique is to breathe in for a count of 4, and then exhale for a count of 4. These breaths can be as slow, deep, or short as you need them to be. The counting is a really good method of giving the mind a simple task to follow. Which can be very useful if you are having trouble getting to sleep, or your mind cannot focus on one thing, or you are experiencing heightened emotions and need a moment of calm. I will guide you through a few rounds in this video, and then you will have some time to keep going at your own pace. I hope you find this as helpful as I do. // View my online Yin Yoga Teacher Training courses: drkarinasmith.com/courses Other meditations that I've recorded: www.drkarinasmith.com/meditations Follow me on Instagram or Twitter @drkarinasmith

Yoga Nidra For A Restless Mind | 30 minute

Do you have times when your body and mind are at complete odds with each other in terms of letting you rest? Sometimes when stress levels have been very high for a long time, that feeling of being wired and on edge becomes constant, and it can feel like there is no respite. This can be especially frustrating when you try to rest, and your body is still, but your mind is all over the place. This guided yoga nidra is particularly aimed at helping to quiet the mind, in order for you to receive some much needed rest. I hope this brings you some ease and relaxation. If you enjoy this yoga nidra, please consider subscribing to this channel. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Karina Smith, Dr. Of Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture and Yin Yoga Educator B.A Health Science Chinese Medicine Studies; Acupuncture and Herbalism majors. karinasmith.com.au
