The poses in this sequence focus on grounding—feeling strong and steady. Breathe in and out through the nostrils. There is an emphasis on 'opening up' while breathing in and 'releasing' while breathing out. While practising this sequence be with the emotion—feel the energy flowing through the body and embrace a sense of certainty and joy. Allow yourself to fully experience the inspiration of positive emotions. The affirmations can be spoken out loud or said silently in the mind. Repeat the sequence two or three times throughout the day (if possible). The sequence can be practised with the eyes open or closed. Smiling during the exercise is thoroughly recommended. Yoga works to dissolve negative emotions and to enhance positive feelings.
