STRESS AND CLEAR PAST EMOTIONS
Come to a comfortable cross-legged sitting position. Place your fingertips
together, forming a tepee with your hands, fingers pointing up and thumbs
pointing toward your heart centre. Look at the tip of your nose and inhale for
5 seconds, hold the breath for 5 seconds, then exhale for 5 seconds. Continue
for 11 minutes, then relax. If your breath is unsteady and shallow, it sends a
signal to your body that its needs are not being met. This meditation creates
a steady breath rhythm so that your body and mind can release stress and
habitual ways of being.
