About this session
- Boosts natural energy
- Deepens gratitude
- Clears the mind
- Opens abundance
This is a 22-minute breathwork journey with Niraj Naik. You begin by picturing a scene from your life that fills you with thankfulness, then a future one. Next you follow spoken counts of in and out to the music, with breath holds that stretch gently past where you'd normally stop.
It suits mornings when you want a lift without caffeine, and evenings when you want to close the day open-hearted and charged with purpose. Come with a goal or dream in mind, and use it whenever you want to feel more alive, grateful and in tune with what's ahead.

Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
Why does the session begin with two gratitude scenes?
Niraj asks you to picture a movie of a time you felt grateful to be alive, with you as the lead character, and then a second one set in the near future, after finishing a task that would make you equally thankful. If the future is hard to picture, you simply feel gratitude in the present. That feeling is what you carry through the whole breathing journey.
How does the breathing rhythm work?
You breathe in when he says "in" and out when he says "out", following the counts in time with the music. The aim is a slow, smooth, steady pattern, which he compares to an ocean wave. You also imagine breathing in gratitude and breathing out love.
What happens during the breath holds?
After a deep breath, you squeeze and let go, then breathe out fully and hold. He describes this as pressing pause on life, a moment of deep relaxation and stillness. When the urge to breathe arrives, you wait a little longer, then take a small sip of air and exhale.
What does pushing past the comfort zone mean here?
When you feel the first strong urge to breathe, you're invited to override it briefly. Niraj frames this as a metaphor for life: strength and growth appear just beyond what's comfortable. Stay within what feels okay for you, and let go with a sigh whenever you need to.
What is the colour and light imagery for?
Early on, you notice where the feeling of gratitude begins in your body, give it a colour and watch it rise and expand with each breath. Later, on a full held breath, you imagine energy shooting upward as white light, radiating through your body and out into the cosmos. It gives the energy a shape you can follow.
What am I meant to take away at the end?
The closing words ask you to carry the gratitude forward, notice how it affects the people around you, and imagine attracting others on your wavelength. You leave with heightened energy, awareness and inspired thinking.
