With your eyes closed, bring your hands up to about the height of your heart. Your palms are facing each other, about six inches apart. Your elbows are at your sides and your shoulders are relaxed. When you inhale, imagine the breath coming into your heart center from all directions. In the exhalation, imagine the breath flowing from the heart to the shoulders, to the arms, and out the hands. Repeat this combined breathing and visualization of twenty-five to fifty breaths.
