Practicing from Garrison
A guided practice moving from physical movement to inner stillness.
Begin by chanting Aum, feeling the elements within the body without force. Proceed through a series of gentle stretches and twists, activating the body's energy centers. The focus is on relaxation and comfort, not perfect form. Movements include leg stretches, spinal twists, and poses where one lies down, raising legs or the upper body. The process reveals physical limitations, often tied to simple causes like a full stomach. Conclude by rolling gently side to side before resting. Finally, sit quietly and chant a peace prayer to conclude the session.
"Just relax. If you can’t feel, it doesn’t matter. But just be one with thyself."
"Relax, relax. It was too much breakfast, that’s why the body doesn’t go up."
