3. Sit with back straight Keep hands in the lap
Do deep breathing for 2 – 5 min
Gently control your respiratory system, making each breath longer & deeper than the last one
Breathe out any tensions, that you feel, are restricting your lungs from moving fully & naturally
Feel that your mind is becoming clearer with each breath
Notice the resistance your mind creates
Notice the worries & judgments your mind comes up with
Take several deep breaths & dissolve these barriers
Breathe deeply & gently
Remember
 you are breathing in vital life force
Hold the breath at the top of inhalation for a moment
 feel its fullness
Exhale smoothly,
letting your hands drift down into your lap
 relax
 feel the vitality of breath circulate throughout your body
