Why this order

For days when practice should feel warm rather than technical. Most of the time here is spent in one repeated mantra.

Notes

  • Devotional practice can bring feeling up. Slow down rather than pushing through.
Before you begin

Breathe comfortably—never force, compete, or push through discomfort. Shoonyaka offers educational wellbeing guidance, not medical advice or treatment. Practise seated or lying safely, never while driving, in water, or operating equipment. Stop immediately and return to natural breathing if you feel dizzy, faint, breathless, numb, panicked, painful, or unwell. If you are pregnant, under 18, have a heart, blood-pressure, neurological or respiratory condition, or are recovering from illness or surgery, seek guidance from a qualified healthcare professional before breath retention or unfamiliar breathwork.
