As the last syllable of Yung Mai's chant vanished, swallowed by the dense silence, he turned and grinned at the boy standing behind him.
He moved closer to the boy, placed a hand on the boy's shoulder, and then moved him closer to where the round lights were.
"Sit," Yung Mai said, his voice echoing like a metal thread. "Breathe in like it's your last air to inhale before you die."
Seeing the boy's facial expression change after he spoke, Yung Mai smiled, "Release every stress from your mind, and find the silence between your heartbeat."
Immediately, Yung Mai sat on the floor in a lotus posture and gestured for the boy to do the same.
For minutes Kai struggled, but when he finally crossed his legs and sat in the same lotus posture, he followed the movements of the man sitting at his front.
"Close your eyes and imagine yourself standing at the enter of your own mind."
