• The first day includes practicing Hasta Mudra (hand gestures), visualizing geometric shapes with colors while repeating mantras.

Setting Up for Meditation

• Emphasis is placed on feeling the entire spine and relaxing various body parts while maintaining focus.

Breathing Techniques

• Deep breathing is introduced; participants are instructed on how to breathe deeply from the diaphragm.
