When I feel more balanced,
I breathe as though through the centers
and silently say “I Am.”
When I say “I,”
I feel the three centers
as though something stands up;
and when I say “Am,”
I also feel them,
but as though something sits down.
When I breathe in, I say “I”
and represent to myself
that the active elements of
the air are entering.
When I breathe out, I say “Am”
and feel them flow into and fill my body.
I do not try
to make anything more of this “I” and “Am,”
simply say the words to myself.
With each breath,
I follow this order for filling:
right arm, right leg, left leg, left arm,
abdomen, chest, head
and then the whole body.
