Part 2/6:
The practice begins with an invitation to settle into a comfortable seated position, using a blanket or bolster for support if needed. Participants are encouraged to root down through their sit bones, elongate their spines, and engage in mindful breathing. By bringing awareness to the breath, practitioners check in with both the quality of their inhalations and exhalations, observing their thoughts without judgment.
Engaging the Breath
Following the initial settling in, the focus shifts to a three-part breath—a technique aimed at expanding the lungs and promoting deep relaxation. With hands placed on the belly and heart, participants engage in breathing techniques that heighten awareness and foster inner tranquility.
