Brain Energy Practice

Some mornings the mind is slow to arrive. Jumpstart Your Brain's Energy is a short, guided way to wake it up — gentle movement and breath to lift your energy and meet the day clear.

Led by Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D., this brief practice carries you from a few centering breaths through energizing movement and a focused mind-and-body exercise, then settles into a few quiet minutes of stillness. In about twelve minutes you have a calm, grounding ritual to return to each day — whatever your age or experience level.

In this practice you'll:

• Tune in and center with a few quiet breaths
• Move through gentle, energizing movement and breath
• Settle into a focused mind-and-body exercise
• Rest in stillness, and carry the calm and clarity into your day

Make it a morning ritual — even a few mornings a week builds a rhythm your mind comes to look forward to. Sit on a cushion or a chair, keep an easy, tall spine, and let the breath lead. Nothing here needs to be perfect.

"The way you live your life today helps shape how your mind and memory serve you tomorrow."
— Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D.

All you need is a calm spot, a comfortable seat, and about twelve unhurried minutes.
