Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 5, Verse 27

Krishna said
स्पर्शान्कृत्वा बहिर्बाह्यांश्चक्षुश्चैवान्तरे भ्रुवोः।प्राणापानौ समौ कृत्वा नासाभ्यन्तरचारिणौ ॥5.27॥

sparśānkṛtvā bahirbāhyāṃścakṣuścaivāntare bhruvoḥprāṇāpānau samau kṛtvā nāsābhyantaracāriṇau

Meaning

Krishna describes meditation: shutting out outside sense contacts, fixing the gaze between the eyebrows, and making the inward and outward breaths even as they move through the nostrils.

हिंदी में अर्थ

श्रीकृष्ण ध्यान की विधि बताते हैं: बाहरी विषयों को बाहर ही छोड़कर, दृष्टि को भौहों के बीच टिकाकर, और नाक से चलने वाली अंदर और बाहर की साँस को एक समान बनाकर।

Practise it today

Sit comfortably for five minutes, close your eyes gently and breathe in and out through the nose at an even, relaxed pace. Never strain or hold the breath.

Reflect tonight

Did you sit for those five minutes? How did even breathing change your state of mind?
