"We will give you a little exercise that you can do before each meditation. This is a very simple and powerful breathing exercise, for it helps you still your mind and integrate the extraordinary energy that is around you.
"One must not do this breathing exercise mechanically. This has to be done with the awareness of what it really brings you.
"First do three inhalations and exhalations with consciousness, i.e. inhale Light and exhale any shadow which still dwells within you. Do this three times.
"Then with a large deep inhalation, inhale Love. Hold your breath as much as possible to conserve the Energy of Love you have integrated, then exhale anything within you which is not Love. Do this three times as well.
"Thus, three times, you do three small inhalations and exhalations where you inhale Light and exhale all the shadow which still dwells within you, as well as three deep inhalations and exhalations where you retain Universal Love and exhale anything within you which is not Love.
"Do this exercise with awareness because it will have no value if you do it while breathing normally."
