And we'll take a few rounds of breath together breathing in through the belly open your mouth let it go inhale fill up exhale side out taking a nice big breath in open your mouth let it go and then letting your breath settle and as we begin our practice we'll take a breath in and on our exhale we will save the word VU until we run out of breath. So my VU might be longer or shorter than yours and that's perfectly okay we'll just keep finding a few rounds here breathing in exhaling VU feeling that vibration in our throat our heart space and our abdomen whenever you're ready we'll take a nice big belly breath in exhale VU it's taking a body scan noticing what feels present where there's tension or ease where there's lightness or heaviness and feeling the support of the ground beneath you slowly bringing your attention to the temperature of the air on your skin the sounds around you and when you're ready you can slowly blink your eyes open thank you for taking the time to practice for yourself and to practice with me i hope to see you again soon
