One Hundred Peace Breaths Exercise

Image Copyright e-mandala.net

This exercise is better performed while sitting.

Close your eyes. Hold both hands relaxed on top of your knees. With the thumb, the index and the middle finger of one of your hands hold the thumb of the other hand.

Breathe in through your nose, fill up slowly your lungs and stomach. Focus on your breathing. Relax and release all air through your nose or mouth, while mentally counting “one”.

Repeat this process by moving to the next finger and count up. If you find your mind wandering around too much, go back to zero. Try to reach one hundred without putting too much effort.

Once reaching the one hundredth breath becomes easier, try going through the exercise without using your fingers to count.

Share at least one hundred peace breaths with the world every day.
