Sit back to back with someone, backs and heads touching. Feel each other breathing through your backs. Breathe in and out slowly and deeply, coordinating the rhythm of your breath. Sit as still as you can, just for a few moments, as you listen to the sound of the breath or to silence.
Help each other focus and go within by not moving a muscle.
Now, try to feel how, with your breath, you connect to your friend and to the whole universe. We constantly breathe each other’s air and we nourish each other in this way. We inhale oxygen and exhale more carbon dioxide; and the flowers, grass and trees breathe in carbon dioxide and in return exhale more oxygen for us.
We all support each other and we are all interconnected. Life is so full of magic!
