Take a deep inhale, envisioning your breath flowing directly into your mind and heart. On your exhale, imagine any tension in your mind and heart floating away. By releasing this tension, you cultivate and openness that enables a connection between your mind, the center of your analytical intelligence, and your heart, the center of your emotional intelligence. On your next inhale, deepen this connection between these two powerful areas of yourself. On your next exhale, relax into the sweetness of this connection. Feel the rise and fall of your breath creating the experience of connectivity between your analytical self and your emotional self, between your mind and your heart.

From Yoga 365, Daily Wisdom for Life, On and Off the Mat by Susanna Harwood Rubin

Try this heart opening practice any time to connect with your breath, mind and heart.
