\nthat there are many specific yoga breathing techniques — and you may have
\nnoticed that I did not give you a specific instruction for how to breath.\u00a0 <\/span>I just said, Keep Breathing!\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\ntall.\u00a0 <\/span>Close your eyes and place
\nyour attention on the movement of your breath, as it goes in and goes out.\u00a0 <\/span>Breathe in and out through your nose,
\nnot your mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nwhere it is easy to feel the flow of the breath and other parts where you can’t
\nfeel it at all.\u00a0 <\/span>Whatever you
\nnotice is perfectly fine.\u00a0 <\/span>This is
\nbasic breath awareness and you can do it anywhere, for as long or as short as
\nyou like.\u00a0 <\/span>I do it on the subway
\nand airplanes, while waiting for the dentist or when I feel out of sorts and
\nout of balance.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nRefuge in Your Breath.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\npoint for the mind is a good because it is:<\/span><\/p>\n
\ncoming but start with this.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\nin Your Breath whenever you can remember and just notice how you feel.\u00a0 <\/span>Does you feel a mental, emotional or
\nphysical shift?\u00a0 <\/span>All of the above?\u00a0 <\/span>Anything?\u00a0 <\/span>Nothing?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
