Guided Meditation or Yoga Nidra. Make sure

you don’t hate the voice of the speaker, and

the background music doesn’t irritate you.

Then just sit down or lie down, listen, and

relax: easy to follow and no preliminary

knowledge required.

Another option is breathing exercises.

Pranayama is a powerful practice, so start from

the basics and never rush for complicated

things. Your nervous system might be not

ready for them, and you don’t want to let

pranayama ruin your health.

You could start with a simple version of

Alternate Breathing. Do the equal number of

counts when you inhale and exhale and

don’thold your breath.

Use Nasarga Mudra to stimulate the region

between eyebrows: place the

tips of the index and middle

finger on this spot; thumb,

ring, and small finger are

relaxed and used to close the

nostrils (ring and little finger

are joined together).
