Meditation is often misunderstood.

It’s not only for the calm, quiet, zen people.
It’s not about ‘clearing your mind’ so that you have zero thoughts.
and you’re not doing it wrong, if you don’t feel calm afterwards.
Meditation meets you exactly where you are - stressed, busy, overthinking or just curious.

A few minutes a day can transform how you feel, how think, how you move through life.

If you’re ready to start your meditation journey, comment MEDITATE below, our experienced teachers will guide you into deeper meditations and you will have a lifetime access for follow-ups with your teacher and ask any questions as they come up during your practice.

Even if you have left the office by 8pm, it doesn’t mean your brain left the office.

If you spend all day making high-stakes decisions, dealing with back-to-back messages and emails, and meeting tight deadlines, your body stays locked in fight-or-flight mode long after you head home (hello, doom-scrolling and binge-watching TV!).

When you lie down to sleep, your muscles might be still, but your nervous system is still running a marathon. That’s why you wake up feeling like you’ve barely slept at all.

To switch off work mode, you don’t need another espresso or even a weekend to rest — you need a physical circuit breaker for your stress response.

Save this post for tonight, try taking a few deep breaths before going to bed, and notice how rested you feel the next day.

Comment HAPPINESS to learn how breathwork impacts other aspects of your life — including your health, anxiety, and insomnia.

Reason 13 of 99 to Learn SKY Breath: Deep Relief from Depression

Depression and chronic low mood often leave the nervous system locked in a state of exhaustion, brain fog, and chemical imbalance.

Multiple peer-reviewed studies demonstrate that depressed patients experienced a 68–73% remission rate within just one month of practicing Sudarshan Kriya (SKY Breath). Remarkably, practitioners showed no evidence of depression during the evaluated period.

Instead of relying solely on mental effort, regular breathwork directly regulates your vagus nerve, balances brain chemistry, and clears stored emotional stress from the inside out.

You can’t out-think a nervous system that’s locked in fight-or-flight.
When you spend 10+ hours a day managing high-stakes decisions, emails, and deadlines in Central, your brain chemistry physically shifts to survive the load:

🧠 The Amygdala (Threat Center): Hyper-activates, keeping you on edge, impatient, and constantly scanning for problems—even when you're off the clock.
📉 The Prefrontal Cortex (Focus & Logic): Loses blood flow, leading to brain fog, decision fatigue, and mid-afternoon burnout.
☕ Cortisol & Adrenaline: Stay chronically elevated, making deep, restorative sleep almost impossible at night.

Trying to "force" your mind to quiet down through willpower doesn't work because stress is stored at a cellular level.

Swipe to see what happens to your brain when you switch from mental effort to somatic breathwork:

You don’t need a 2-hr practice; you just need 20 minutes.

When your workday is officially over, but your brain refuses to sign off.

It’s not a productivity issue; it’s a nervous system issue. You’re still trapped in the fight-or-flight mode, and your stress response is still high.

Try this quick breathwork hack to calm your nervous system down, to signal to your body that it’s time for rest.

Before you begin, a quick body check - notice your body and mind: are you tense? Are you breathing fast or slow? Do you have many thoughts?

1. Find a quiet place to sit, with a backrest.
2. Close your eyes and take 2-3 deep, full breaths.
3. Inhale for 4 seconds, hold your breath for 2 seconds, and exhale for 8 seconds.
4. Repeat for 3-5 rounds.

Repeat the body check. How do you feel now? Calmer? Empty? Relaxed?

This is the power of breathwork - when you change the rhythm of your breath, you instantly change the state of your mind.

Breathwork and Meditation isn’t just for those who want to benefit from it or who are really struggling. Many of us loveo ur jobs and feel like daily life is going generally ‘okay’ - but beneath all that, we sitll carry moments of worry, nervousness, and feeling powerless against daily demands.

This is exactly how Neva felt, before joining the Happiness Program she liked her life, but didn’t realise how much tension and stress she was holding onto until she learned the SKY Breath.
