Upper Dan Tian Breathing

• Get in a comfortable seated position and relax your body and face. Soften the belly.
• Gently place your tongue on the roof of your mouth where the teeth meet the gums
• Bring your awareness to the point of light and stillness in the center of your skull
• Begin breathing through your nose, long soft full breaths, connecting the breath with this point of light. Expanding into the light on the inhale and basking in the light on the exhale.
• Continue for up to 108 breaths
