ADVICE

Start With Breath And Intention

  • Begin meditation by bringing steady attention to the breath and filling the chest and lungs with slow full inhales and slow releases on the out-breath.
  • Sense the breath in the heart area and notice your intention for practice in this moment.
ADVICE

Soften Face To Open The Body

  • Soften the eyes, smooth the brow, and allow a subtle smile to arise in the mouth and around the eyes to create space and aliveness.
  • Let that openness spread into the neck and shoulders so the shoulders can relax back and down.
ADVICE

Scan Downward And Soften Belly

  • Relax the hands and sense aliveness, then breathe into the chest and abdomen, allowing the belly to soften and receive the breath.
  • Move awareness down to the pelvic region and base of the spine, imagining a receptive smile to awaken energy there.
