Three days passed in a haze of breathing exercises and enforced rest.
Two hours every morning. Two hours every evening. Forty eight people sitting in meditation posture learning that sometimes the most important cultivation training was knowing when to stop trying.
Inhale for five counts. Hold for five. Exhale for five. Hold empty for five. Repeat until breathing became automatic. Until spiritual energy calmed.
[LUNA] THIS IS VERY BORING (◕‿◕✿)
[LUNA] JUST NOTING ♥
"Boring keeps us alive apparently."
[LUNA] BORING AND ALIVE IS ACCEPTABLE
[LUNA] MARGINALLY ♪(´▽｀)
Hunter found the breathing meditation simultaneously tedious and terrifying. Tedious because it was just breathing. No technique. No advancement. Just air moving while his spiritual energy slowly settled like sediment in disturbed water.
Terrifying because every breath reminded him how close he'd been to shattering his own foundation through ignorance.
