Embrace The Tree: 540 Breaths

While practicing my Embrace the Tree stance I count each breath I take for the entire 20 minutes.

That’s 540 breaths – one per 2.2 seconds.

Here’s why I count my breaths:

• I can focus on my tan tien for the entire workout
• It distracts my mind from saying things like ‘give up, my legs hurt, I’m too tired’.

My challenge now is to slow my breathing down further to get a deeper and calmer workout.
