You're gonna be mindful of 3 breaths. 3 breath exercises. As you do these mindfulness practices, the light to touch is noticed what changes for you.

In the first, is to simply breathe, consciously, mindfully, 3 times.

And then breathe 3 times and as you exhale, let your exhales be a little bit longer than what you'd normally do. Not so much by pushing the exhale, but by as you get to the end of the exhale, just letting go a little bit more, 3 times letting go with the exhale.

And then to do it again if it's your exhales has gotten too long for you can make it shorter but make it a little bit longer than normal and as you do the next 3 exhales, let go of whatever your thinking as you exhale.
