Take a deep breath, and chant Oṃ with me. Take a deep breath, and observe the points carefully. Take a deep breath, and close off the whole body. Withdraw yourself from the external world. The whole day has passed. You were working hard, both physically and mentally. But now it is time for yourself. Withdraw from the external world for the time being, and come into this hall. It is a beautiful hall, with a very peaceful atmosphere. You feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed here. Observe the hall with closed eyes. Observe yourself being in the hall. You are sitting here in this hall with closed eyes. Observe the color of your dress, the color of your hair, your neighbors, and now come to your physical body. Feel your body from the toes to the top of the head, and from the top of the head to the toes. Feel that your body is relaxed and comfortable. Relax your legs. Relax your hips. Relax your stomach muscles, the whole trunk of the body. Relax your shoulders. Very consciously try to relax your elbows. Feel and relax your hands and fingers. The whole body is comfortable and relaxed. Your body is very comfortable, very relaxed, and sitting straight upright. Now feel the motionlessness of the body. Your body is completely motionless. It is not that you cannot move, but that you do not need to move. You are comfortable enough. How do you feel your limbs, your body, when they are not moving? Feel the motionlessness of the body, the absence of movement. Bring your awareness to the breath process. But do not change the breath rhythm. Let the breath flow as naturally as it is. Just become aware of the breath: I know I am inhaling, and I know that I am exhaling. Relax. Relax. And be comfortable. Observe the respiratory system. Observe how the breath is flowing in and out. At the time of inhalation, the body is breathing in life force, vitality, prāṇa śakti. At the time of exhalation, your body is exhaling all kinds of toxins. Relax. No breath should go unnoticed. You should be aware of each and every breath. Do not inhale or exhale unconsciously. Inner relaxation means: do not occupy yourself with particular thoughts, and do not engage yourself or bother yourself with particular feelings. Let everything be free. You know that in this minute you have no obligation. Just relax. Concentrate your breath and your awareness at the center of the chest. Observe your breath from the center of the chest. There, now you may repeat your mantra or a short prayer. Feel the center of the chest from the inside. At the time of inhalation, the body is expanding. At the time of exhalation, the body is contracting. Feel the expansion and contraction of the body with the natural, normal breath. Feel your breath and feel your body. Feel the emotionlessness of the body, and your being in this hall. Feel physically your breath, and then extrovert yourself; remember the outer world. We will chant again three times Oṃ and three times the Śānti Mantra. Take a deep breath. Take a deep breath. And now, with your hands: move your shoulders, move your hands, and rub your palms together. Place the palms on your face, rub your eyelids, warm your face muscles, open your eyes, and move your hands. Recording location: Slovenia, Ljubljana, Seminar
