Breath of Fire Meditation (Kapalbhati) | Releasing Stress in Stillness

We're practicing Breath of Fire or Kapalbhati today.

This is a quick-paced, rhythmic breathing practice, also known as 'skull-shining breath'. It is considered an internal purification practice, used to cleanse the internal organs, energize the nervous and circulatory systems and boost metabolism. Tingling sensations and light-headedness may be experienced with this technique.

That said, if you are pregnant, have high-blood pressure or feel dizzy, please stop immediately and substitute with soft slow breathing.

More benefits of Breath of Fire:
increased physical endurance
reduced addictive impulses
boosting of the immune system
releasing of natural energy throughout the body

Sometimes the loudest healing happens in silence.
If your thoughts feel like they never stop racing—or if you’ve been performing strength while secretly exhausted—this live silent meditation is for you.

Together, we’ll create a gentle pause: no pressure, no perfection, just a quiet space to breathe, reset, and remember you don’t have to hold it all alone.

This isn’t about “getting it right.” It’s about giving your nervous system a break, letting your mind settle, and discovering what peace feels like—right here, right now.

✨ What you’ll experience:
A supportive, welcoming entry into silence (no experience needed)
A chance to release stress and overthinking without forcing it
Space to reconnect with calm, clarity, and presence
Even a few minutes of silence can change the way you move through the rest of your day. You are safe to pause. You are enough.
