Then, slowly move your hands upward to the navel area (Manipura Chakra) and take 10 breaths. Afterward, move your hands a bit further up to the upper abdomen (stomach and liver area), and again take 10 breaths. Finally, bring your hands to your chest, placing the left hand on the chest and extending the right hand towards the shoulders, spreading the fingers wide. This process takes about 4 minutes.
