A quiet hour
Sit in silence
The prayer asks: guide my breath, steady my intellect, and awaken the dormant light within my own heart center.
Ready
When you are ready, sit with one breath, then another.
A soft flute marks the breath. The first tone is the in-breath and the stillness. The second is the out-breath. Four quiet counts in, a stillness, six counts out, then ease. If holding the rhythm does not suit the body, follow only the mantra. There is no measure to complete.

O Swamigal Vallalar, presence yourself in this quiet hour. Be my teacher, my guide, and my constant illumination.
