After years of hanging out with yogi's, I've been introduced to the very wonderful I've been introduced to the very wonderful experience of being able to get yourself really calm and quiet.

To be able to just lay down with a blanket, something under your head, and nothing else but

the intention to just be very still and peaceful.

So in this podcast I just wanted to encourage you if you haven't tried it yet, to experiment with settling yourself down for a few minutes each day and just sitting and doing nothing.

Get yourself as comfortable as you can.

And it doesn't have to be austere. It can be cozy. You can use pillows, blankets.

Whatever you need to feel really relaxed and snuggled up and safe and play with it. Just see how relaxed you can get your body. And then just watch your breath.

And put your hands on your chest or one hand on your belly, one hand on your chest.

And just feel your breath, come and go.

Feel the changing temperature in your nose between your inhalation and your exhalation.

Play with making your exhalation a bit longer than your inhale.

Feel your breath come into your chest and your belly and leave.

And hear the sound it makes as it comes and goes.

The trick is to get really fascinated with your breath. And I know it doesn't

sound like such an amazingly interesting thing, but the idea is to engage your mind in peaceful withdrawal from external

stimulus but it needs something to focus on otherwise it's going to start

complaining at you and giving you things to think about that

aren't relaxing at all. So by being playful with yourself and with noticing your breath,

you can actually lead yourself into a very contented peaceful state.
