Breathe in
Follow the shape: it grows as you breathe in and shrinks as you breathe out.
How to do it
- Settle in and close your eyes.
- At the sound of the gong, breathe in through your nose for 5 seconds.
- At the next gong, breathe out slowly for 7 seconds.
- Let the sound guide you, no counting needed.
What it does
- No voice, just sound
- Eyes closed, no counting
- Longer, soothing exhale
