In order to measure your breath you can count—or use a rhythmic phrase that you like. (If the length of your breath is 6, you might use instead of numbers, the six words, “My heart is now at peace.” If the length is 7 you might use, “I walk on the new green earth.” A Buddhist might say, “I take refuge in the Buddha.” For a Christian it could be “Our Father who art in heaven.” When you are walking, each step should correspond to one word.
