"When an ambient environment feels negative take a moment to expand light and shine into the ambient surroundings." Preparation Find a comfortable seated position that does not stress the joints.

These breathing techniques naturally lengthen the exhalations and have a soothing affect on the nervous system. This will help to maintain stable rhythmic breathing throughout the meditation. |
