Sit
in a comfortable position with a straight spine. Begin by exhaling as
much air as possible from your lungs before taking in a deep, slow
breath through your nose, refilling your lungs. On your next
exhalation, make a soft humming sound like a bee. When you run out of
breath, take another deep inhalation, continuing the humming sound as
you exhale. Begin with a few minutes practice, working up to 10-15
minutes at a time. When you have finished your humming breath practice,
lie down and relax for a few minutes.
Dance is a surrender of the small self to the greater mystery.

My body supports me in living a creative and happy life.
I love every part of my body, every cell is filled with energy and vitality.
I have all that I need.
...
I am safe.
I belong.
