0:00.0	This is episode 2050 of the Daily Meditation Podcast.
0:06.0	I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you back to day four of our series on brain health and your breath. In this week's series you are exploring a different breathing technique in each episode and these are breathing techniques that have been around for many years, like a few thousand years, to help calm your mind and
0:39.2	body. Many of the techniques are classic yoga meditation techniques for your breath.
0:46.0	And when you are able to manage your breath, you are able to manage your emotional state and that can be valuable in these days of
1:00.6	uncertainty with all that's going on in the world right now.
1:06.7	So as you do today's breathing technique, pay close attention to where you hold your emotions in your body.
1:18.0	The breathing technique I'll be sharing with you is called the Durga Prana Yama breathing technique.

2:26.0	It's as if a wave of oxygen sweeps through your body
2:32.0	and as you exhale you will feel the wave reverse.
2:40.0	Your chest begins to relax your ribcage and your abdomen sink back downward as you release tension and toxins. I invite you to practice feeling this effect within you right
2:59.6	now. You can place a hand on your abdomen and then place your other hand on your ribcage.
3:10.0	And now take a deep inhale through your nose and feel your optimum expand outward.
3:21.0	Feel your
3:25.0	chest expand outward.
3:29.0	Do you feel that?
