Guidance on Posture and Breath

A guide to physical posture and breath awareness.

Assume a specific seated posture. Adjust the legs and knees. There must not be excessive pressure. The movement should be slow and controlled. The stomach should remain in a normal, relaxed position. Practice this daily with patience. Improvement comes gradually over time. This careful approach prevents injury. Now sit comfortably for breathing.

Focus the mind on the navel. Inhale through the nostrils, allowing the breath to fill the abdomen. Then exhale gently through the mouth. Maintain this relaxed and comfortable observation. Simply watch the natural breath. Continue this practice for several minutes.

"Slowly, slowly, and we come slowly, slowly."

"Inhale through the nostrils and let it come to the navel. And exhale from the mouth."

Bārikatu. Bārikatu praṇām. Who will come here? Who can come here? Yes, thank you. Stand here, because you have in your hand a big problem with your foot. Ah, yes. So now you will take the program, okay? Okay. Not too silent, short, and not all quickly. Five times. Bārikatu Praṇām. What is this? Five or six? Very good. Now, place both hands and feet like this, and open your knees. If you are sitting on your buttock, take it out, like this. Let’s take it out. Just try as you can. There must not be too much pressure, but yes. Turn to the other side. A little better. Hold your legs. Yes. And like this, what is that? Yes. She will like this. Bring closer. Slowly. Not like this. The stomach is normal. Here. Then, hold your feet, legs, sorry, what is this? Toes? Look, yes. Okay, very comfortable, very nicely. And we should have to ourselves, oh my Lord, become my God. Touch me. My legs, yes, you, it is yours, yes, touch your legs, yes, go, I will look, yes, touch your fingers, or what I call you, just go like this, slowly, slowly,... slowly. Slowly, slowly, and we come slowly, slowly. There we’ll go. In our... Okay? Yes, it is very painful, very cruel. But we give to the children, not to you. Just, just, we should press like this more, first. And in three days, we will better relax from there. And we try to go down, and your chocolate is there, okay? Good. Don’t lag, the foot should not be too wide. Also, we cannot bring it near our body. But we should come like this, comfortable. We can be like this. But when we then touch like this, the stomach is, and we have teaching, we were eating, so we cannot bring our stomach. Yes, but it will become so, hello. Thank you. Go two times yourself. Two times only, but still, try to touch there once more. So every day, slowly, slowly, after one week or two weeks, then we will be very relaxed and very nice about these parts. And also, if we do it slowly, slowly, then our knees will not break. Yes, so this is our side, on our part. This is number one, and number two is, next time when I come, I will bring you, and I will also bring something to eat. I will find everything good, and then I will tell. Okay? Good. Now sit comfortably. We will breathe into the abdomen, relax, be comfortable. It also means that we shall concentrate on the navel, relaxed and comfortable. Try to straighten. Close your eyes, close your eyes... close. First, we take the breath in, into our stomach, and then exhale out again through the mouth. In this, what we will do, and we are doing, I am telling, very relaxed, inhale through the nostrils, and let the air come into the stomach, into the mouth, and exhale with both lips. And breathe out with your mouth open, but not too long on the sound, just let the air come out. Inhale, exhale. Very comfortable. We inhale through the nostrils and let it come to the navel. And exhale from the mouth. Inhale in the mouth, in the navel, and exhale also out. And close. See your breath. Relax. Let’s say five minutes. Yes, one, five minutes.
