Life continues...

People come... people go...

You sleep... wake up and brush your teeth...

Pour warm salted water into one nostril... water drips the other...

Insert rubber tubing into one nostril... out through the mouth...

You sit... and start observing the breath...

Mind working... images appearing... emotions emerging...

Bringing the attention to the breath... the mind fixed on counting...

Pictures fading... mind calming...

Inhale... 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10... glottis closed... chin down the chest... holding the breath...

1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10..11..12..13..14..15..16..17..18..19..20... chin lifts... glottis opens...

Exhale... 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10..11..12..13..14..15..16..17..18..19..20...

Cycle resumes... and life continues...
