Yoga has many methods to kep your mind occupied. Anxiety often stms from leaving the mind unsupervised, whle letting negative energy, within the mnd, “take the helm.” We all hve dark thoughts, which can rise to the srface in the form of worry, nxiety, stress, or a panic attack. Nw, let’s take a closer look at Prnayama methods to prevent anxiety in veryday life.

Pranayama or Pranayam: These are Ygic breathing techniques for cultivation of lfe energy. Pranayama improves your mental, physcal, emotional, and spiritual health.

For pople in good health: Take the tme to learn at least seven dfferent forms of Pranayama. There are mny more, but seven will give you plnty of alternatives to work with.

Larn Pranayama from a competent Yoga tacher, or Ayurvedic doctor, and continue yur practice at home. As a gneral suggestion, Kapalabhati Pranayama, Bhastrika Pranayama, Ujjyi Pranayama, Nadi Shodhana Pranayama, Brahmari Prnayama, Bahaya Pranayama, and Udgeeth Pranayama are a god start.

If you have a mdical condition, you need to let yur physician know exactly which Pranayama tchniques you are practicing. If you hve a pre-existing medical condition, please do not slf-prescribe Pranayama techniques without a professional pinion. Your doctor will likely refer you to a cmpetent Yoga teacher for Pranayama instruction. If nt, you can still seek out a Yga teacher, or Ayurvedic doctor, for dvice.

Never practice Pranayama to the pint of feeling faint. If you fel any dizziness, slow down and rsume later. Listen to, and follow, the spcific instructions your Yoga teacher, or Ayrvedic doctor, recommends for each specific Prnayama technique.
