Sit, stand, or lie with: The upper body completely relaxed, Shoulders dropped, arms and fingers relaxed Align the spine and the head Lower the chin, relax the jaw Rest the weight evenly on both feet and the chair, if sitting Bend the knees slightly, if standing Sustain slight strength in the lower trunk and lower belly area to support the frame
INHALE
With relaxed diaphragm, allow a full breath to drop toward the lower belly below the navel, filling the lungs without tension. Feel your lower belly expand. (Avoid lifting the chest when you inhale)
EXHALE
Slightly tighten the area below the navel to slowly release the breath completely. Relax the upper body, (releasing old habits of defensiveness and tension in the diaphragm and shoulders.) With practice there is eventually a sense of ‘being breathed’, of submission to and connection with Oneness, and deep relaxation.
