breathe relax

sit comfortably, on a chair or in a simple cross-leg position

close your eyes and allow your jaw to relax

concentrate on your natural breathing rhythm for a few moments

then turn all of your attention to your in-breath, count how long they are, for another few moments

now breathe out with emphasis, leave off counting your in-breaths, just focus on breathing out

all external impressions will fall away, simultaneously relaxation occurs

finally you are nothing but breathing - you are breathed. your breathing, left to itself and no longer consciously noticed, has found it's own rhythm
