For years, Tony Robbins has been starting his mornings with a 10-minute ritual that gives him a boost of energy and prepares him for the day. On a recent trip to Robbins’ Fiji resort Namale, where he was hosting the winners of Shopify’s Build a Bigger Business competition, he showed Business Insider how to perform what he calls “priming.”

Robbins, 57, is the world’s most famous life and business coach and is as busy as ever, averaging 60 events each year. He developed priming as a way to maintain his energy and focus.

The routine, which involves a forceful breathing exercise and visualization of light pouring through your head, can seem pretty wild, but it’s a slightly adapted version of a yoga technique called Kapalabhati Pranayama breathing and Buddhist mindfulness meditation.

Following is a transcript of the video.

Tony Robbins: My very first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is — I want to get my head right. I do this thing called “priming.” Now, some people get up in the morning and they meditate, and I think meditation is wonderful. But I haven’t met many people that can not think thoughts. This is a different outcome. This is about priming yourself. It’s about putting yourself in a state where your mind and body will respond accordingly.

We’ll do three steps. It’s really simple — over 10 minutes. So why don’t you sit down and I’ll guide you through it. So, just get really comfortable. You want to be sitting up. Is that back enough for you to be able to relax?

Richard Feloni: Yeah.

Robbins: OK, cool. And then the first thing you’re gonna do is your hands are gonna come up as you take the breath in and then you’re gonna explode out the nose down.

Good. Now, relax. Keep your eyes closed. Have your hands open, if you would, on your lap face-up like that. Just feel whatever you feel. Just take it in. And you don’t even have to respond to me anymore. You just enjoy it and take it in. And now just let your body relax deeply. And I’d like you to begin to think of a moment in your life that you could feel really grateful for if you wanted to. It could be something little, Rich, or it could be something big. It doesn’t matter. It could be from your childhood or this week. It doesn’t matter.

Do your best to remember it and then step into it as if you were there, kind of like stepping into your body and seeing what you saw then through your own eyes. Hearing what you heard then. Feeling what you felt then. Savor it. Maximize that sense of appreciation or enjoyment or gratitude. Enjoy it. Feel it. Fill up with it.

And now we’re gonna shift to the last piece. Really simple. All you’re gonna do is focus on three things, one at a time, that you want to accomplish. Three things you want to achieve. Live it and feel it and experience it.

How was that?

Feloni: It was good!

Robbins: Yeah? What’d you feel?

Feloni: It feels calming. Refreshing. It was good to like, escape inside myself.

Robbins: There’s two worlds to master – the external world and the internal world. They both have to be mastered, but if you master the external world, you know, a la, you know, Robin Williams, but you don’t master the internal world, there’s a big price. This is the one to master first. And so I start my day by making that – so I have this base to deal with. I’m gonna live from gratitude today. I’m gonna live from blessing – you know, I’m gonna be a blessing in people’s lives today. I’m gonna get stronger today. And I’m gonna achieve what I’m here and committed to do.

And then the whole thing, you know, we did that one in a little less than 10 minutes.

Andrew Gibb says:

I honestly thought Tony Robbins woke up, immediately ran out of his house, savagely scanned his yard for the closest wild animal to tackle to the ground and rip out its throat with his teeth.

ThankYou!

Ahh the Breath of Fire technique or Bhastrika pranayama, its a yoga breathing technique. Been around for 1000s of years. Those yogis really know their stuff, even Tony Robbins uses it because it works!

Benefits – builds up heat in the body making you feel energized and great for detoxing. 90% of toxins are released from your breath. Strengthens your diaphragm, and calms your breath.

Contraindications – people with heart problems, fever, stomach issues, HBP should consult a doctor first. If you're pregnant avoid this.

Should use this technique before meditation or asanas (yoga poses) , great for the mornings

Always do on an empty stomach, 2 hr gap btw meals.

20 reps x 3 sets with a 10 sec pause btw sets

Namaste!❤

Sure…..did nothing for me…..maybe the ocean would help.

Daniel says:

Great to see this on Insider Business. It's always best to face the inner business before doing the external business.

I love how you can see Tony look at his watch in the background when he is talking about mindfulness.

Josh Rager says:

How can he be such a self master and yet profoundly misunderstand what meditation is?

Tony Robbins: 아침에 일어나서 가장 먼저 하는 일은 — 머리를 바로잡고 싶어요. 저는 "프라이밍"이라고 하는 일을 합니다. 이제 어떤 사람들은 아침에 일어나 명상을 하는데 명상이 참 좋은 것 같아요. 하지만 생각하지 못하는 사람을 많이 만나지 못했다. 이것은 다른 결과입니다. 이것은 자신을 프라이밍하는 것에 관한 것입니다. 몸과 마음이 그에 따라 반응하는 상태에 놓이는 것입니다.

3단계를 수행합니다. 정말 간단합니다. 10분 이상 걸립니다. 그러니 자리에 앉으시면 제가 안내해 드리겠습니다. 그러니 정말 편히 쉬세요. 당신은 앉고 싶어합니다. 긴장을 풀 수 있을 만큼 충분히 뒤쳐져 있습니까?

리차드 펠로니: 네.

로빈스: 좋아, 좋아. 그리고 나서 가장 먼저 할 일은 숨을 들이마시면서 손을 위로 올리고 코를 아래로 내뿜는 것입니다.

좋은. 이제 휴식을 취하세요. 눈을 감아라. 당신이 원한다면, 당신의 무릎에 당신의 손이 위로 향하게 하십시오. 그냥 느끼시는 대로 느끼세요. 그냥 받아 들이세요. 그리고 당신은 더 이상 나에게 응답할 필요도 없습니다. 당신은 그것을 즐기고 받아들이기만 하면 됩니다. 그리고 이제 당신의 몸을 깊이 이완시키십시오. 그리고 인생에서 원하면 정말 감사할 수 있는 순간에 대해 생각해 보시기 바랍니다. 리치, 작은 것일 수도 있고 큰 것일 수도 있습니다. 그것은 중요하지 않습니다. 어린 시절이나 이번 주에있을 수 있습니다. 그것은 중요하지 않습니다.

그것을 기억하기 위해 최선을 다한 다음 마치 마치 그곳에 있는 것처럼 몸 속으로 들어가 자신의 눈으로 본 것을 보는 것과 같습니다. 그때 들은 것을 듣습니다. 그때 느꼈던 감정. 맛보세요. 그 감사 또는 즐거움 또는 감사의 감각을 최대화하십시오. 즐기세요. 느낌. 그것을 채우십시오.

그리고 이제 마지막 부분으로 넘어가겠습니다. 정말 간단합니다. 달성하고자 하는 세 가지 일에 한 번에 하나씩 집중하기만 하면 됩니다. 이루고 싶은 세 가지. 그것을 살고 느끼고 경험하십시오.

그건 어땠어?

펠로니: 좋았어!

로빈스: 네? 당신은 무엇을 느꼈습니까?

펠로니: 진정되는 것 같아요. 상쾌하다. 내 안의 탈출을 좋아해서 좋았다.

Robbins: 마스터해야 할 두 가지 세계가 있습니다. 외부 세계와 내부 세계입니다. 둘 다 마스터해야 하지만 외부 세계를 마스터하면 로빈 윌리엄스지만 내부 세계를 마스터하지 못하면 큰 대가를 치르게 됩니다. 이것은 먼저 마스터 할 것입니다. 그래서 저는 그것을 만드는 것으로 하루를 시작합니다. 그래서 저는 이 기반을 처리해야 합니다. 오늘도 감사하며 살겠습니다. 나는 축복으로 살 것입니다. 여러분도 알다시피, 저는 오늘 사람들의 삶에서 축복이 될 것입니다. 나는 오늘 더 강해질 것이다. 그리고 저는 제가 여기 있고 약속한 것을 성취할 것입니다.

그리고 그 모든 것을 우리는 10분도 채 안 되는 시간에 해냈습니다.

I love the combination of gratitude and aspirations together.
they help you become more thankful for what has been and also visualize what is to come. so when the time comes to open your eyes, you're your best now.
