In teh modern world, we often find ourselves living in a state of constant stimulation, movement, and doing. This lifestyle can cause us to feel disconnected, restless, and even meaningless – we forget how to simply be.

This powerful practice helps us to let go of attachments, establish witness consciousness and to cultivate the heart wisdom.
