"I like to suggest doing at least ten deep breaths, using the susokkan, or “breath-counting meditation.” Put all your heart and mind into drawing in a deep breath, then expelling it. Once, twice, again, again, until you have inhaled and exhaled ten times. You will experience a truly pleasant, agreeable sensation; your body will feel somehow relaxed and your mind extremely clear and fresh." - Hakuin's Song of Zazen by Yamada Mumon Roshi
