This is a great exercise to use if you feel a cold coming on, but it is also very relaxing. It works best if you are lying down with your eyes closed, but you can do it sitting as well. You can count each section of the breath (inhale/hold/exhale/hold) or not, but if you do try to use the following ratio: 2/1/2/1 for example 4 count inhale, 2 count hold, 4 count exhale, 2 count hold (or 6/3/6/3 etc).

1. Inhale and visualize the breath coming in through the top of your head and follow it down to the bottom of your stomach

2. Hold it there and imagine it as a ball of energy

3. On the exhale, imagine it like water coursing down from your stomach and out the balls of your feet.

4. Hold before inhaling again Repeat a total of 3 times

5. Inhale as in #1 above

6. Hold as in #2 above

7. On the exhale, imagine it like water coursing from your stomach back and up your spine, down your arms and out the palms of your hands.

8. Hold before inhaling again Repeat a total of 3 times

9. Inhale as in #1 above

10. Hold as in #2 above

11. On the exhale, imagine it like water coursing from your stomach back and up your spine, up and around the top of your head, and out through your eyes.

12. Hold before inhaling again Repeat a total of 3 times

13. Inhale as in #1 above

14. Hold as in #2 above

15. On the exhale, let it permeate your entire body and seep out of your skin
