If this feels comfortable, you can then go on to divide the out-breath into three equal parts, with pauses in between each part. Imagine that with each part of the divided out-breath you are stepping down a step and then briefly pausing before stepping down another step. If it feels comfortable, begin to divide each exhale into two equal parts, with a pause in between each part. Over several breaths begin to gently lengthen the exhale.

It's a time for pushing your ideas out into the world and the emphasis is on outward action and achievement, rather than contemplation and simply being. What a year 2020 has been so far! Usually summer is a very yang, outward going time. The questions will give you the space to reflect on the journey you have taken across the light half of the year, since the Winter Solstice and the direction you want to take over the coming months as we enter the darker half of the year. Here in the Northern Hemisphere we are a few days away from the Summer Solstice, and now is a good time to start working with the Summer Solstice meditation question ( a full set of questions can be found in the Yoga Through the Year book, pages 73-75).

I find working with them always brings something out into the light that had been previously hidden, and in doing so I am helped to overcome obstacles and move forward with my life.
