movement of breath through our body. Imagine yourself on your deathbed. Imagine you’re taking your final ten or so breaths. Sense yourself letting go of your body, letting it settle into deep rest, even as you settle into boundless spaciousness, opening more and more to the core mystery of what’s happening. After sufficient time with this vision—a few minutes at the very least—say a prayer that affirms what kind of death you want. For example: May I die a peaceful and liberating death, and may I approach it with a clear mind and open heart. Say this prayer gently. Repeat it.
