Part 2/7:
At the outset of the session, Carolyn encourages participants to mentally prepare their bodies through guided breathing. Sitting comfortably in a cross-legged position, attendees close their eyes and focus on their breath. This practice helps to activate the mind-body connection, allowing individuals to visualize their abdomen expanding and contracting amidst mindful breathing. The session starts with welcoming participants through chanting, creating a sense of community and mindfulness.
