So this meditation is something you can do for a couple of minutes or an hour or more. The longer you stay with it, the more deep of course more profound. In this meditation the unifying our awareness of breath and body all together. So, taking the attitude or the understanding that breath is actually nourishment for the body, nourishment for the mind, nourishment for the emotions as well. And so that when you're breathing, this is about uncovering that pleasure of the breath. Sometimes when we're doing breath meditation we feel like I have to breathe in and then I have to breathe out. And then I have to breathe in again, and I have to breathe out again. And it's a lot of work. And I have to pay attention, so on and so forth. But there's so much bliss available in these meditations if we're willing to look for it. So in the breathing meditation, let there be no one way that you have to breathe. But let this full body awareness, this saturation of body consciousness that we've been developing with our practice. It's there. If you've been practicing yoga, that's what you've been developing all this time. It's such a little leap off into this saturation of blissful awareness in which the breath can arrive anywhere in the body, any time, in any way, and enter through any pathway. And each time the breath is totally different and unique. It's never come that way before. It's never going to come like that again. Each breath totally unique, and inclining yourself towards making that breath, each breath a really nourishing and kindly and friendly experience. So, I'm very excited for you to have this meditation in your repertoire, and to work with it.
