I added this practice to my favorites list upon first hearing it in the challenge. Revisiting my my favorites list currently in order (my own challenge). This practice is a deviation from my norm and such a gift. Thank you.

This was very interesting. I am learning to be in my body and heart centers after spending a lot of my life in my head. I am growing more comfortable all the time.

Perfectly paced and spaced. The gentle progression around the body truly helps to center, focus, and relax you.

I loved the connection that Prentis makes between the three dimensions of the body's "posture" and our emotional life - dignity, things we care about. That's a powerful aspect of this meditation. Very helpful!
