This exercise incorporates techniques from Open-Focus Brain and Whole Body Breathing Chi Kung.

Many if not all of you will feel the reduction or disappearance of pain and tension as you do this practice.

To prepare for this exercise sit, stand, or recline. Adjust your body so you are as comfortable as possible. Slightly open your mouth and relax your jaw. Notice and release any unnecessary muscle tension.

Notice your breathing. Make sure you are belly breathing. In other words make sure as you inhale, your belly expands and as you exhale, your belly releases inwardly. Take your time and then start the exercise.

I suggest you take about fifteen seconds for each step in the exercise. This will allow your body to more fully integrate the practice.
