The Posture



The ideal posture is known as the "Egyptian Posture”. Sit very straight on a chair, with your arms on the armrests and your hands open, palms upwards or downwards, whichever is more comfortable. Your feet should be flat on the floor. Don’t cross either your arms or your legs, which should not come into contact with any other part of your body.
Breathing is important; it helps introspection and is the link that enables you to discover your personal images. To strengthen the images, try to relax(that is your aim). Breathe regularly, breathing in through your nostrils and out through your mouth. Exhalation should be longer and slower than inhalation, which is normal, easy and effortless, i.e. without exaggeration.
When you feel comfortable and ready to begin, breathe out three times, beginning with an exhalation, i.e. you breathe out 3 times and in twice.
Then you can begin. During the exercise, breathe normally: all your attention will be focused on the image and your breathing will come naturally.
When you have completed the exercise, breathe out once before opening your eyes.
