Do you find you are overly critical of yourself? Constantly comparing yourself to others? Never feeling like you are good enough? You are not alone.
A little self-disclosure. When I first watched this video after recording it, I was picking it apart. There were a few times my hands were too high outside of the frame of the video. And in the second part, my arms were at different levels. But in the spirit of self love, I decided I did my best and did explain it correctly, so I didn’t re-record.
This self love meditation from Kundalini Yoga will help to open your heart, create a positive relationship to yourself, and make you available to receive love.
There are three parts. In part one, you’ll be holding your right palm six to nine inches above the top center of your head facing down. The left elbow is bent with the upper arm near the rib cage. The forearm and hand point upward with the palm facing forward. Your eyes are closed and focused at the middle of the chin.
Here you will breathe long, slow, and deep with a feeling of self-affection. If you can, try to extend your breath so you inhale for 20 seconds, hold for 20 seconds and exhale for 20 seconds.
In part two, you’ll extend your arms straight out in front, parallel to the ground extending as far out as possible, with the palms facing down. Your eye focus and breath remain the same.
In part three, you’ll extend your arms up with the palms facing forward continuing with the same eye focus and breath.

When I find myself feeling blue and out of sorts, practicing a meditation like the one in this video really helps.
Placing your hands back to back with your fingers pointing away from your body at a level between the heart center and the throat center. It’s important that your knuckles touch. Your wrists are about 6 inches away from your body. Your forearms are as parallel to the ground as possible. Your thumbs point straight down parallel to each other. This position creates a great deal of tension on the back part of the hand.
Focusing your eyes on the tip of the nose or on the upper lip. Inhaling deeply and repeating Wahay Guru 16 times on the exhale.
We’ll be practicing for only three minutes, but it’s most effective with a minimum of 11.

Would you like have something on hand to help when you start to feel a sense of panic? You already do! It’s your breath. There are a number of conscious breathing techniques that can help manage symptoms of panic and I’ll be sharing one of them with you in this video.
You’ll be inhaling long and slow through your nose and then suspending the breath as long as possible without straining. When you are ready to exhale, you’ll make an “O” with your mouth and exhale powerfully through it, taking care not to puff out your cheeks. The exhale will come from your navel and psoas.
We’ll be practicing this breath for three minutes in the video, but you can expand your practice up to 11 minutes.

How do you move forward when you aren’t sure where you are going? If you can calm yourself and still your mind, the answer often comes. The meditation we’ll be practicing in this video can help you develop that capacity.
It has a lovely hand mudra, simple breath pattern and uses the mantra “Whaaho Guru.” You’ll first be repeating this silently to yourself, and for the last minute, you’ll repeat it out loud.
We’ll be practicing for a total of about four minutes in this video, but you can do this on your own for up to 11 minutes for the first portion and from 5 minutes to 2.5 hours for the second portion.
