Get into a comfortable position.
Take a deep breath in as if you are smelling a rose.
Hold the breath for 4 counts before exhaling.
Exhale as if you are blowing out a candle, gently and slowly through your mouth.
Keep exhaling until your diaphragm becomes concave. Place your hand on your belly to feel the inward motion.

Repeat three more times.

TITLE BY THE NOTES

The man by the flowers
is giving with his tender care

The woman by the shelves
is giving with her dusty hands,

Him, by the trash bin,
gives with his inconspicuous hard work

Her, by the street, gives with the brightest smiles

Them, by the office, gives with their protective minds,

And father gives with his visionary love.

Mother gives with her fine-honed instinct

Sister gives with her passionate dreams,

Brother gives with his inspiring character

Nephew gives with his contagious laughter.
