Hey guys what's going on I'm retired Navy SEAL Chris Sajnog and founder of the
SEAL training system and in this video I'm gonna teach you how to stop that
racing mind and start meditating now let's go ahead and get started
you've heard me talk about meditation and the importance of meditation not
just in shooting but really in anything you want to learn anything in life but
if you've tried it and you found that you've got just a racing mind or you
can't sit still I've heard from so many people like oh I just can't meditate
it's not for me I I can't sit there and do that an easy fix and the first thing
that you should really do if you experience this is to work on your
breathing so forget all about meditation like don't even put that on your plate
just yet let's work on your breathing and make sure you're breathing properly
first before you try meditation now most people do not breathe properly most
people what they do is they breathe through their mouths and this is not the
way we are designed to breathe we're designed to breathe in and out through
our nose and you can tell this if you watch a baby breathe babies breathe in
and out through their nose and that's why they have so many problems when
their babies if their nose gets clogged up so it's really important to breathe
in and out through your nose now the next thing that you want to be able to
do to breathe properly is to not use your accessory muscles so that means
your shoulders your chest your neck muscles if you were to take a deep
breath in and you look like this that means you're not breathing properly
you're breathing in through your into your chest and you're using all these
extra muscles that they're not designed to do I remember one time my brother he
broke one of his ribs he called me and asked me what he should do I asked him
well how are you breathing he said well I'm breathing normal I said well what
does that mean breathing normal you said well I you know I breathe in and I beat
on my chest moves it hurts my ribs and I said well you're breathing in correctly
can you try breathing in and out through your nose and have your stomach expand
and use your diaphragm and he did that and he was like oh wow I can breathe now
and my rib doesn't hurt so that's proper breathing is diaphragmatic breathing so
practice that practice breathing in and out through your nose
keeping your chest your shoulders your neck all still while your stomach moves
in and out when you can do that for five minutes five minutes of breathing
properly then a No then move on to practice meditation now
meditation is critical and it's important but I don't want you to be
frustrated with not being able to meditate because if you can't first
breathe properly you're never gonna get to the point of meditation and that's
where I want you to be because once you discover the benefits of meditation
you're gonna forget what life was like before that it's really powerful stuff
so anyways that is it that's all I have for you today and until next time keep
