Close your eyes and breathe out.
Breathe into your chest.
This is the Aleph breath.
Imagine the branching shape of the aleph
א
in your chest,
or simply breathe “Aah.”
Feel the air, the aleph,
moving in your chest
and through your body.
Now, breathe into your belly.
This is the Mem breath.
Imagine the rounded shape of the mem
מ
in your belly,
or simply breathe “Mmm.”
Feel the water, the mem,
moving in your belly
and through your body.
Now, breathe into the crown of your head. This is the Shin breath.
Imagine the flaming shape of the Shin
ש
at the crown of your head,
or simply breathe “Shhh.”
Feel the fire, the Shin,
moving in your head
and through your body.
Cycle through these three breaths again: chest: air, Aleph, Aah.
belly: water, Mem, Mmm.
head: fire, Shin, Shhh.
Cycle through them a third time.
As you breathe,
feel the three parts of the body,
the three elements come together into a whole.
Breathe out and open your eyes.
