Sit quietly and become aware of the sounds around you. Listen deeply, tuning into the inner sound of AUM. Watch your breath and breathe into your back, feeling the expansion. Alternate between belly and chest breaths. Inhale into your side ribs, then your back. Take intimate breaths for each area. Inhale in three stages, pausing briefly until your lungs are full. Deepen your natural exhale, softening and releasing your belly. Use your abdominal muscles to forcefully exhale, keeping your shoulders and face relaxed. Breathe deeply and smoothly through your nose, with a slight throat constriction, creating a gentle ocean wave sound.
