Part 2/6:
To commence, Mari encourages participants to find a comfortable seated position with a tall spine and hands in prayer pose at the heart center. This initial grounding helps to center thoughts and focus on the intention of the practice.
Participants then join in the Mantra "Ong namo guru dev namo," a powerful affirmation of bowing to the infinite wisdom within, setting the tone for a reflective journey.
Engaging with Breath of Fire
The first physical exercise introduced is the Breath of Fire, characterized by a vigorous exhalation through the nostrils while rhythmically pumping the abdomen. This breathing technique is designed to energize participants and encourage the release of anything that no longer serves them.
