I say prayer in a non-denominational sense.
Saying a small prayer of gratitude is a great way to set the tone of the day.
It doesn't even have to spoken in words (although that does add a good amount of power). A feeling in the heart, an idea in the mind, or simply acknowledging that each breath is a gift, will ground you in gratitude.

Prana, or breath/lifeforce, connects the body, mind, and consciousness. Balanced breath is rhythmic. When we are out of balance breath is irregular, maybe even jerky.
Yoga and Ayurveda offers several breathing techniques. One of the easiest to access during times of stress is the "equal parts breath."
Regulate your breath to be the same quality and quantity by counting to four or six on the inhalation and on the exhalation. Let the counting relax the breath so that it is the same on both sides.

So Hum Meditation.
This simple meditation is so powerful.

Inhale and think, see, or feel the word "So."
Exhale and think, see, or feel the word "Hum."

"Inspiration (breathing in) is living; expiration (breathing out) is dying. ...... Hum means "I" or 'individual ego' ; So mean 'He, the Devine.' So in the natural course of So-Hum meditation, when So goes in and Hum, ego, our limited individuality, goes out." The Complete Book of Ayurvedic Home Remedies By Vasant Lad, B.AM.&S., M.A.Sc.

What is Kapha, you ask? Kapha is one of three Doshas, or energies/function principles. I'll go into more detail in the next three posts, but for now...
Kapha = Earth
Pitta = Fire
Vata = Wind
Humans have all three, all of the time. Usually, though, one is dominant, and when things are really out of balance, you're likely experiencing the effects of one dosha being very dominant or very lax.
The doshas are complex and present in every aspect of our human experience, as well as in the universe. I know that sounds big, but stick around and keep an eye out for the next half of the twelve days of self care.
