Breathing, Vagus Nerve, and Gentle Transition in Awakening

Background

I am Guru Sanju. This written discourse is adapted from a real session with Joshua, a client who had been struggling with sensitivity to light and sound, compulsive thoughts, waves of panic, low energy, and racing thoughts at night that disrupted sleep. His work is a seated, eight-to-ten-hour shift in a truck parts store, and he often returns home feeling flat and uninspired. He carries a deep sense of responsibility for his mother and sister, with little to no experience of a father figure, which has shaped how he holds masculine energy and risk-taking. Prior psychedelic use further activated his sympathetic drive, leaving him overstimulated and emotionally overwhelmed even while trying to spend time in nature. In this discourse, I keep the original tone and guidance while restructuring the instructions so you can practice them step by step. The goal is calm, parasympathetic breathing, vagus nerve activation, and a gentle transition toward meaningful life changes.

Opening Clarity

Yes. Yes, so—yes, so—what is troubling you right now? I want clarity from you about the main problem you are facing. Is it connected to thinking, or are you facing energetic challenges? I will ask a few questions about your life. Are you doing a job or running a business? What is your professional work connected to?

You tell me: a truck parts store. What is your role? Are you happy with the work you are doing currently? How long have you been in this work? Are you progressing, and is it a job or a business? You say it is a job. How many hours of the day do you spend there? Eight hours; sometimes ten. What is the quality of your work? How much movement is involved? Is it sitting work, or do you move your body a lot?

That is the problem. You need to know a few practical things I will guide you to, and then I will guide you toward life purpose today, and that will remove the anxiety or the fear around existence you are facing right now.

First Medical Baseline

First thing: have your testosterone level checked once. Testosterone is a masculine hormone. If your level is low, you may feel the kinds of symptoms you are experiencing now. Get it tested. If it is high or low, based on that I will guide you toward certain actions in life in the next session once you have the results.

Inspiration Check

Do you feel inspired every morning to go to work? Are you inspired enough? You say no. What is your educational qualification—how much have you studied, and what have you studied? Did you play sports or any physical activities in your school days or anytime in your life? What is your daily routine? When do you get up, and what do you do through the day until night?

When do you get holidays or breaks? You say Saturday and Sunday, and the rest of the five days are mostly an eight-hour sitting job. Is there scope to get up from the desk every half hour or every hour to take a break? If yes, use it. If possible, take a five-minute break every hour.

Micro-Break Practice

In every hourly break, walk for five minutes and pair the walk with mouth exhalation. Mouth exhalation supplies energy in the body by improving exchange and promoting parasympathetic tone. It improves oxygenation to the brain and can begin to settle the over-activation that fuels anxiety. The prime diagnosis here is inadequate oxygenation to the brain coupled with sympathetic dominance. When oxygen supply improves, many things begin to change.

There are many things I will change in your life over time, but if I change too much too suddenly, you will not adapt. You are going through spiritual awakening—Kundalini awakening—and Kundalini is going to uproot you from your present life. This job, whatever you are doing, a time will come soon—three months, six months, or a year down the line—when you will not feel like going to this job. It will suck you; it will not inspire you any longer even though you are getting money. Do not label that hopelessness. It is the end of robotic repetition that does not serve your soul.

There is a transition phase coming. If you remain connected to me, I will guide you smoothly. You do not have to bring abrupt change because it will activate sympathetic breathing again. Slowly, gradually, bring change so your brain can adapt. Ultimately this phase will pass. You feel this way because Kundalini is making you feel that your life energy is being wasted by uninspired routine. You are not inspired to continue a robotic life. Do not worry; I will guide you through gradual life changes.

Family Field and Masculine Imprint

Are you single or married? Do you live alone or with family? How is your relationship with your mother and sister? Good. Tell me about your father. When a father is absent, the masculine imprint of inner guidance, risk-taking, and boundary-holding can be thin. Without that embodied presence, the nervous system often favors comfort over challenge, and decisions become shaped by an invisible sense of responsibility to protect female family members. You may feel that if something happens to you, you cannot take care of them. These feelings often dominate daily choices.

Reflect honestly: when challenges come, do you prefer comfort, avoid risk, and keep decisions small to maintain safety for your loved ones? Do you feel compelled to stay physically, mentally, energetically, and emotionally present for your mother and sister each evening, even when they are not actually dependent? Notice whether your body assumes that obligation by default.

Environment Scan

Where do you live—city or nature? Wherever you are, begin by checking your present energy level through breath dominance. This is a self-diagnosis protocol you can use any time of day.

Breath Dominance Test

Place both palms under your nostrils to feel airflow. Take three to five natural breaths with eyes closed. Notice which nostril is more active: left or right. If the right nostril is dominant, sympathetic arousal is higher. If the left nostril is dominant, parasympathetic tone is stronger. You report right nostril dominance. That indicates anxiety and mental hyperactivation.

Left-Nostril Breathing for Parasympathetic Activation

Activate left-nostril breathing to engage the parasympathetic system and the vagus nerve. Sit comfortably with the spine neutral. Use your left hand. Place the index and middle fingers lightly on the bridge above the right nostril. Gently close the right nostril. Inhale slowly through the left nostril. When inhalation completes, close the left nostril and exhale through the right nostril. This is left-inhale, right-exhale. Hold the breath for about one second after the inhalation before switching sides for the exhale.

Breathe slowly. Do not force. Let the belly expand on inhalation and gently deflate on exhalation. Repeat ten rounds. After ten rounds, sit quietly, eyes closed, palms resting on thighs. Recheck dominance by placing palms under the nostrils. If the left nostril has opened or balance has improved, continue with the next refinement. If not, continue for several more rounds until calm deepens.

Rapid Left-Nostril Flush

When left-nostril function remains limited, close the right nostril and perform quick inhalations and exhalations through the left nostril only, as if flushing out congestion. Keep the face relaxed and shoulders soft. Do this briefly, then return to calm left-inhale, right-exhale breathing. Next, lightly tap the upper nasal bridge and eye socket margins with the index and middle fingers. Massage the depression at the top of the nose and along the nasal cavity with gentle pressure. Keep eyes closed; continue tapping and massaging until the nose feels lubricated and open.

Take a few complete breaths through both nostrils. Recheck the nostril dominance. Your left should feel more open than before. Notice your state—less thought, more presence, and a calm baseline that does not strain to manufacture stillness. This indicates vagus activation. When the vagus nerve tones upward, you return to center. Thoughts subside naturally. Even if you try to think intentionally, you may find nothing arrives because your system is centred in consciousness rather than in mental noise.

How to Practice Through the Day

Use the left-inhale, right-exhale technique frequently. Inhale through the left, hold one second, exhale through the right. Layer the rapid left-nostril flush when needed, followed by tapping and massage of the nasal bridge and cavity. Recheck dominance and continue. Practice this every hour during micro-breaks. Do it for one week and observe your baselines: less obsessive tension, calmer breath, steadier energy, renewed hope. You will sense that there is more to life than the repetitive loop you have endured.

Mouth Exhalation While Walking

From morning onward, whenever you sit or work, maintain conscious mouth exhalation as a foundational practice. Keep your spine neutral. Exhale through the mouth fully; let the belly move inward as the breath empties. Walk while you exhale. If you are at home, walk around your room or corridor. If you are at work, use your hourly five-minute breaks to walk and exhale. Stay aware of the sensation of breath leaving. Make the exhale complete without strain. This practice anchors presence through the day without needing a separate session.

Deep Rest Protocol

For five to seven minutes, transition from walking to lying down. Lie on a firm bed or mat. Cover the eyes with a light cloth or mask. Bring both hands to the navel. Inhale and allow the belly to rise. Exhale and allow the belly to fall. Establish a simple rhythm like a gentle swing—inhale, belly up; exhale, belly down. Inhale deeply, then exhale fully, letting the belly deflate. Continue for several breaths, dropping every concern about past or future. You are in an evolutionary journey. You are in the Kundalini awakening journey. Kundalini is doing her task. Your role is not to push as an ego or a personality. Provide the conditions and surrender as a soul. Be receptive to what flows from the Guru. If the mind becomes too loud, breathe for thirty minutes and let everything settle.

Daily Schedule for a Week

Follow this protocol: thirty minutes of breathing twice a day—after rising and before bed. During the rest of the day, keep doing mouth exhalation whether walking, sitting, or moving. Every hour, take a five-minute break for left-inhale, right-exhale with a one-second hold. This sequence activates the vagus nerve and quiets anxiety, stress, and obsessive thoughts. You will not need to fight the mind about the future. Presence will arrive as physiology shifts. Sensitivity to light and sound, compulsive loops, panic waves, low energy, and exhaustion will begin to dissolve. Sleep will improve. Practice for seven days with discipline and dedication. When you observe improvement, connect again and I will introduce external breath holds in the next phase when your body is ready.

The Gentle Transition

Be disciplined and dedicated to your health. As your health improves, Kundalini processes more smoothly. Remain with the breathing for the next thirty minutes when you finish reading this section, then get up and begin your day. After seven days, connect. I will share the next protocol level.

Your main problems began after psychedelic drugs activated sympathetic breathing. The result was light and sound sensitivity, compulsive thoughts, panic, low energy, and non-restful sleep due to a racing mind. This fight, flight, and freeze mode was keeping you locked in hypervigilance. Breathing exercises helped. Time in nature helped. Yet you still felt emotionally overwhelmed. This is common in Kundalini processes: old structures loosen, inspiration falls away from matrix routines, and your system seeks alignment with a new current. If you, reader, are experiencing similar symptoms, apply these techniques now and seek personal guidance if needed.

Technique Reference and Cues

Use these cues for accuracy and safety:

  • Posture: Sit with a neutral spine or lie down with the head supported. Keep the jaw soft and the face relaxed.
  • Inhalation: Let the belly expand without lifting the chest excessively. Aim for smoothness, not force.
  • Hold: After inhaling through the left nostril, pause for about one second. A gentle, brief still point is enough.
  • Exhalation: Empty through the right nostril or mouth, depending on the technique. Let the belly move toward the spine.
  • Pacing: Slow is strong. Lengthen exhalation slightly compared to inhalation.
  • Awareness: Keep attention on the tactile feeling of air at the nostrils and the movement of the belly.
  • Checks: Recheck nostril dominance periodically with palms under the nose. Adjust with the rapid left-nostril flush and tapping as needed.
  • Safety: If dizziness appears, reduce intensity or stop and rest in normal breathing.
  • Integration: Pair the practices with hourly micro-breaks and dedicated morning and night sessions. Track how your sleep, energy, and mood shift across seven days.
  • Environment: If possible, take brief walks in fresh air. Even urban settings have corners of stillness that refresh the breath.

Life Purpose Emerges from Regulation

When breath stabilizes and the vagus nerve tones, the center opens—the central channel known as Sushumna begins to conduct more freely. From the center, life purpose is not a forced decision. It is a felt trajectory. You will notice that when you try to manufacture thoughts, nothing comes, and that is good; it means you are in the field of awareness rather than in reaction. From awareness, the necessary next step appears without agitation.

Kundalini uses discomfort to dislodge you from stale patterns. The sensation that the job is draining your soul is not nihilism; it is a summons. Respond steadily, not abruptly. Continue micro-breaks, left-inhale/right-exhale breathing, mouth exhalations while walking, and nightly navel breathing. Maintain the week-long protocol. When the body learns safety, the higher instruction becomes audible.

Masculine Reweaving

Without a father’s presence, the nervous system often keeps scanning for safety by over-giving at home and under-reaching in the world. Masculine reweaving is not a performance of hardness; it is the capacity to take right risk while remaining rooted. Low testosterone can mimic spiritual collapse by removing hormonal vitality from the system. Check it. Address it medically if needed. Meanwhile, breath will rebuild signal-to-noise ratio in your nervous system so courage is not a spike of adrenaline but a stable line of power.

Set small challenges: speak clearly about your needs at work, ask for hourly movement where possible, and follow through on the breaks. Plan gentle steps toward work that engages your body and spirit more directly. You do not have to abandon duty to your family to honor your path. Boundaries and breath can coexist as one movement of dignity.

Seven-Day Practice Map

Day by day, give yourself this map:

  • Morning: Thirty minutes of practice—start with five minutes of left-inhale/right-exhale, include a brief left-nostril flush if needed, add gentle tapping and massage, then fifteen to twenty minutes of belly breathing with awareness at the navel.
  • Daytime: Hourly five-minute breaks for walking with mouth exhalation and a short set of left-inhale/right-exhale. Recheck nostril dominance.
  • Evening: Thirty minutes before bed—repeat the morning sequence. End with a few minutes of gratitude for the breath and for the subtle shifts you notice.

Journal three lines daily: What changed in my breath, what changed in my energy, what changed in my mood? After seven days, review the notes. You will see a trend toward presence.

Closing Encouragement

If you find yourself with no thoughts, that is not emptiness; that is your center. Let it be. If you must think and nothing comes, smile. Sushumna is active. The mind serves the center, not the other way around. Do the protocol as given. Be disciplined and gentle. After seven days, return for the next step. The journey is already in motion. Kundalini is processing well when your health is tended with breath, rest, and honest listening.

If these symptoms are yours—light and sound sensitivity, compulsive thought, panic, tiredness, racing mind at night—apply the practices above. If you need direct guidance, reach out to my team. We will support you in the next movement of your awakening.

Refinements and Troubleshooting

If the mind races even while the breath slows, add a subtle inner cue: at the peak of each inhalation silently say, now; at the end of each exhalation silently say, here. Now, here. This anchors awareness without creating mental strain. If chest tension rises, place one palm on the sternum and one on the navel and feel both move together. If the throat tightens, imagine the exhale as a warm breeze moving out through a soft jaw. If the lower back feels rigid when lying down, bend the knees and place the feet hip-width apart so the sacrum spreads. If you notice shallow breathing returning during work, do three conscious mouth exhales, then one left-inhale/right-exhale round before resuming tasks.

Hydration supports mucosal ease for nostril work; sip water. Keep the room airy. If frustration or sadness arises, let the breath keep moving while the feeling completes its wave; you do not need to interpret it. The body is unfreezing patterns and finding a new baseline.

Case Reflection

Joshua’s description of returning home uninspired, staying present for his mother and sister out of duty, avoiding risk, and struggling to sleep because the mind races is a classic picture of sympathetic dominance amplified by an old masculine vacuum. The body tries to be both shield and provider while never quite resting. When left-nostril breathing, mouth exhalation, and navel awareness return agency to physiology, the shield softens and the provider becomes creative rather than tense. From there, next steps in work and purpose become visible without force.

Commitment

Make a simple commitment: for seven days I honor breath, rest, and gentle movement. I respect my nervous system. I will return to center again and again. Then I will report, and we will continue.
