Lesson Eleven Homework

If you have a regular meditation practice, think about areas that you need to refine.
If you don’t have a meditation practice, think about starting one, and start it at the next new moon. Five minutes is a great start. You pick the when and where.
Start to slow down your breathing pattern so that you can allow the pauses to fully express themselves. Practice this a few times a day at anytime, maybe as you are cooking.
Practice savasana and restorative yoga, make notes in your journal. How do you think they can help you to develop or deepen your meditation practice?
After practicing the techniques in Video 4, journal any insights you may have.
