Breathe

For a few minutes,
Breathe a deep, rhythmic breath
To get yourself in tune
With the rhythm of the Universe.

Inhale to a slow count of X,
Retain the breath for a count of X,
Then exhale to the count of X.
Wait X counts before inhaling again.

When you feel the rhythm,
Discontinue the counting
And breathe naturally
By filling the lungs deeply, completely, and silently.

(Note: X is a number that makes you feel comfortable and peaceful.)
