This series of upper body movements is both uplifting and calming, and is great preparation for meditation. It can be done standing or sitting, indoors or – if you have the chance – outside in the fresh air. Each set of three sequences is made in time with the breath and starts with hands together at the chest.
Start and finish the set of sequences with hands resting on one another. If you are kneeling, have the tops of your feet flat on the floor. You can place a folded pillow behind the knees and a rolled-up towel under the feet.
