We relaxed together, taking deep breaths, paying attention and focus to bring Awareness. Breath is always in the present moment so to bring the mind to the present moment it is important to breathe. Sky program was shared with eyes closed for a time to relax and be with yourself. For more information visit: Skyschools.org.
