Prayer

Stand tall with your feet together or hip-width apart, weight balanced evenly across both feet.

Bring your palms together at the center of your chest, fingers pointing up and thumbs lightly touching the breastbone.

Press the palms gently together, draw your shoulders down away from your ears, and lengthen up through the crown of your head.

Soften your gaze forward, lightly engage your belly for steadiness, and breathe slowly and evenly.

Hold for 5 to 10 calming breaths, then release your arms back down by your sides.
