Part 2/7:
To begin, participants are encouraged to set their intentions for the practice. This commitment to persevere through difficulty is pivotal in harnessing the benefits of the subsequent exercises. Rubbing hands together generates warmth, awakening the nerve endings in the fingertips and preparing for the session ahead.
Chanting and Centering
The session kicks off with a mantra chant of “guru.” Three iterations of this chant frame the breathing exercises that follow. As participants exhale to release tension and inhale to connect with the breath, they engage with music and rhythm, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
