Just BREATHE !

" Suffice it is to say that breath is the link between the body and the mind and between the conscious and unconscious mind. It is the master key to control the emotions and to the operations of the involuntary nervous system. " -Andrew Weil

BREATHING EXERCISE:

When you are unoccupied for a few minutes, and especially last thing at night before falling
asleep and first thing in the morning before getting up, "flood" your body with consciousness. Conscious breathing, which is a powerful meditation in its own
right, will gradually put you in touch with the body. Close your eyes.
Lie flat on your back. Follow the breath with your attention as it moves in and out of your body. Breathe into the body, and feel your abdomen expanding
and contracting slightly with each inhalation and exhalation. If you find it easy to visualize,
dose your eyes and see yourself surrounded by light or immersed in a luminous substance - a
sea of consciousness. Then breathe in that light. Feel that luminous substance filling up your
body and making it luminous also. Then gradually focus more on the feeling. You are now in
your body. Don't get attached to any visual image.
Choose different parts of your body to focus your attention on briefly at first: hands, feet, arms, legs, abdomen, chest, head, and so on.
Feel the life energy inside those parts as intensely as you can. Stay with each part for fifteen seconds or so. Then let your attention run through the body like a wave a few times, from feet to head and
back again. This need only take a minute or so. After that, feel the inner body in its totality, as
a single field of energy. Hold that feeling for a few minutes. Be intensely present during that
time, present in every cell of your body. Don't be concerned if the mind occasionally
succeeds in drawing your attention out of the body and you lose yourself in some thought. As
soon as you notice that this has happened, just return your attention to the inner body.

LET THE BREATH TAKE YOU INTO THE BODY
