Nose tip gazing meditation (Nasikagra drishti)

A great way of meditation for beginners. A powerful practice to concentrate. It connects with Root chakra and stimulates Kundalini.

Sit tall, relax the shoulders, palms on the lap and feet flat on the ground. Don’t force to get fit into a pose. Always try the pose to fit your body. Consistent practice helps you to achieve the goal. That’s the healthy yoga practice. 

Tip for beginners 

To focus on the nose on the nose tip, lift your right hand with index finger pointing up straight in front of your nose. Gaze at the finger tip, bring towards the nose, once you touch the nose, gaze the nose tip and take away your hand to the lap. To balance both the sides repeat with your left hand too. 

Close your eyes 9/10 and gaze the nose tip with 1/10th part of open eyes. If you feel strained you are free to close your eyes and bring your mind focusing on the nose tip.

Hold the Buddha mudra, one palm on the top of the other and the thumbs pointing up with tips touching together. It symbolises being humble, to be grateful and ready to receive.

Clear your mind, forget everything what to do next where to go next like that. Take a few normal breaths and relax . Now getting into meditative steps of breathing and visualising.

1. Inhale pure air fill in and exhale the impurities.

2. Inhale calmness fill in and exhale the stress.

3.Inhale good thoughts and exhale the unwanted thoughts.

4. Inhale the life energy and exhale the trashes.

5. Inhale consciousness and exhale the Ego.

You are free to choose the steps single or multiple based on your personal needs. Repeat each step for three times.

Close your eyes, mind focus on nose tip and enter into the second part of the meditation bring your hands up to the chest and hold Anjali mudra. Anjali mudra is the prayer pose. 

Anjali mudra symbolises the we feeling, ready to accept and serve the universe. 

Say to self ‘ I am calm, I am filled with goodness, I am filled with Divine energy, I am related with the higher consciousness. I am connected with the Higher Consciousness! 

Rub both your palms strongly, feel the warmth on the face, open your eyes slowly with gratitude for the opportunity for meditation and for being kind to yourself.
