Sit down with legs folded, slightly close your eyes, tuck your chin down, back straight, shoulders relaxed, and put your left hand on top of the right hand united with sams. close your eyes slightly gazing a few meters away at the floor, and breeze. The right hand shows strength and the left-hand shows mercy and love if I am correct, from Zen Buddhism.
In our Dojo, we concentrate on breezing inhaling from the nose for 2 seconds sending the air to the lower part of the abdomen 丹田 (tanden), stop 3 seconds, and exhaling from the mouth for 10 seconds. We repeat this cycle for 1 minute.
This exercise helps construct your integrity in the long run.
