As we come earnestly to meditate, we can often try too hard and find ourselves tightening up in knots rather than relaxing. It is good to recognize the grip we can have on our body and mind. In this episode, we will explore some exercises to gently open our hand, physically and mentally, finding that it is possible to do less and therefore feel more. We can step back and let our world speak and unfold.
