Practicing the First 3 Breathing Techniques
Master Niels explains how to apply and guides you through practicing the first three basic mindfulness breathing techniques: B3, B2, and B1.

Focus on your breath touching the inside of your nostrils during your inhalation and exhalation.

B3 - Breathe normally
B2 - Breathe in and out deeply
