is to really pump the chakra
the heart, the belly, the base
we're really focusing there and filling
it is also called "priming breath"
we are priming the pump

so, we breath into the heart
release 5-10%
15%
and inhale to 100%
asking to open
sitting with breath in heart, being comfortable
holding the center open
then a little exhale
bring energy down to belly
as we inhale to 100%
and sit, relax, open
a little exhale
then bring energy down to base
opening
then release up the back
In practice sessions, using the orbit breath

we do the priming breath... maybe once or twice every 5 min

remember letting go...
we want to learn to stay relaxed
while holding the breath in the center
then we allow it to open more deeply
and we direct it.
