Good Morning with Niraj Naik

After recalling a time you felt truly grateful, you imagine finishing something important, such as a task, a job or a goal. You're asked what you'd be doing and what it would bring into your life, then to feel it as though it's happening now. The idea is to link gratitude with something ahead of you, so it becomes a pull toward action.

First you breathe in and out in a smooth, steady rhythm on Niraj's cues, taking in gratitude and letting go of old energy. Then comes one deep inhale, a full exhale and a hold with empty lungs. Near the end you take a deep breath in, hold it, and send that energy up toward your midbrain before letting go with a sigh.

Niraj compares it to pressing pause on life, or a defrag on a hard disk, so your thoughts can reassemble and bring clarity. He says you may notice sudden ideas or bursts of creativity and asks you to hold on to them. If the urge to breathe comes, you can take a small sip of air and carry on.

When the urge to breathe is strong, you take a deep breath in, squeeze your pelvic floor muscles and slightly screw up your forehead. You imagine life force energy rising through your spine to your midbrain and third eye as a white light. When you can't hold any longer, you relax and release with a sigh.

It was made as a group immersion, so Niraj invites you to feel connected to people around the world and to be grateful for that connection. The jungle setting, with its sea breeze and birdsong, gives your mind a place to settle before the breathing starts. You climb the steps together as a collective tribe.

The closing words say you leave supercharged with a higher frequency of thought, helping you make better decisions and take more precise actions toward what you want. Keep hold of any ideas that came during the hold, and let the feeling of gratitude guide the first task you tackle.
