Come to a comfortable seated or supine position, fully supported. Place hands on your belly and breathe in enough so that you feel the abdomen rise into your hand on the inhale and relax on the exhale. Stay with the awareness of the rise and fall of the belly for at least 4 breaths (Part 1 of Breath). Next, place the hands alongside your ribs. Inhale deeply to feel the belly rise and the ribs expand under your fingers. Exhale and feel those parts relax and release. At least 4 breaths here, (Part 2 of breath) slowly expanding the lungs. The final part of this 3-part breath, is to place the hands on the chest, below the collarbones. Breathe in to feel the belly expand, the ribs separate slightly and the chest lift into the hands - filled with light and openness. Exhale and witness the release of your body through the chest, ribs and belly. 4 breaths.
