Let's pretend to be archers! Start by standing like a mountain, then step one foot back. Imagine you have a bow and arrow. Bend your front knee and look at a small pretend target in front of you. Focus, like an archer! When you're ready to shoot, bring your hands together. You're doing great!

Focus. Attention. Drishti (Yogic Gaze). X-ray vision. Third eye.
