Breathing Techniques for Mind and Body Relaxation : หน้า 219/232

Then take 2-3 deep breaths. Inhale deeply, so you feel the air in your stomach. Exhale slowly. When you are inhaling, let yourself feel as though every cell in your body attains the fullest happiness and joy. When you are exhaling, release every one of your worries and stresses. Take a moment to let go of these various concerns. Then breathe normally. When you have relieved your mind, you can start to relax your body. Relax every muscle in your body, from your head to the tips of your toes. Relax your entire body at all points. No part should be tense, pulled, or stressed. You should feel clear, light, and at ease. Then make your mind cheerful, fresh, clean, pure, and bright. Empty your mind, free it from all thoughts. Make it seem as though you are sitting alone in a clear and wide-open space, a place full of freedom and peace. Imagine that your body is free of internal organs, that it is clear and hollow. You might feel that your body is lighter, that you have become part of the atmosphere around you. Then bring your mind to rest at the centre of the body, in the middle of your stomach, at a level located two finger widths above the navel. It is not necessary to find the exact point at the centre of the body. Simply continuously rest your mind gently and softly in the area at the centre of your body. Do this while releasing the tension from your body and your mind.
