  • controlling the movement of breath, we can increase our life expectancy. We want to kind of take it easy and relax the body, calm the nervous system and find what feels good. So just take your time finding length through the spine. And wherever you've come to sit, see if you can bring your palms face down either on the thighs or on the knees, whichever feels best for you and your body focus on the breath and ready take a deep breath in through your nose. And then empty just nice and easy out through your mouth. Again, just like that. You can close your eyes or soften your gaze now. Deep breath in, and nothing fancy, just a long, long, long breath out. Then one more time, big inhale and this time as you breathe out relax your shoulders down. Just drop a little weight down into your elbows. Again focusing on bringing length through the spine as we progress through our journey here together. Alright, now come into stillness best you can. Close your eyes and if you're not comfortable closing your eyes for whatever reason you can just soften your gaze gently past down your nose. Gently down past your nose. Notice your current energy state. Check in. And then be open to your current energy state evolving and changing throughout the course of our practice
