01
Find a seat

Sit easy, spine long, shoulders soft. Rest your left hand; bring your right to your nose.

02
Follow the orb

Breathe in as it grows, out as it settles. Let the rhythm carry you. There is nothing to count.

03
Alternate the breath

Close one nostril, then the other, switching each round. Add inner and outer retention as your practice deepens.
