This practice is gentle enough for those whose lives offer enough physical challenge and are looking for a way to nurture themselves. Constricted, tension-filled areas of the body let go into support, finding relief at last. Labored, distracted breathing releases into smooth ebb and flow. Obsessive thoughts eventually find there is no place to linger in the mind that allows them to pass. This practice will guide you from dukha, suffering and imbalance, to sukha, where you can abide in comfort and balance.
