Talking with Your Heart

Stay with your heart's rhythm through a simple breath: five seconds in, five seconds out. Learn the rhythm by watching waves roll in and out with each breath, and after twelve rounds, rest your left hand on your chest and imagine the breath moving in and out through your heart. Then bring one thing you are grateful for into your chest and breathe with that warmth. At the end, gather simple ways to use it in daily life — when your emotions feel shaky, before an important conversation, or before sleep.
