| Hi James - just my thoughts.
1) breath as necessary, through your nose, deeply and slowly
2) close your eyes to avoid distraction, open your ears, still your mind - this note is not unlike chanting "ommm" a kind of trumpet meditation
3) play it when you have the time, the inclination and the stillness of mind to stay present - its not a warm up or warm down - it is an excersize in its own right
Noel.
