Sit comfortably, alert and with the spine erect. Breathe quietly and regularly. Raise your consciousness to the centre between the eyebrows and without strain hold this focus.

Visualise the effects of purification and sanitation in your own life;

Extend compassion to those who do not currently have access to basic sanitation facilities.
