Daily exercises for developing presence and relaxation

To understand who we are and what we are doing, we must understand the meaning of silence. Within silence there is a balance – mind and body become transparent, and we discover who we really are. When everything becomes simplified through silence all the tangles of our inner knots and problems gradually dissolve. True silence comes from within. It is not merely the absence of speech: it is pure, naturalness – absolutely calm, without fixation, without preparation. Nothing is required except, simply to be.

Day 16 – Light of Understanding Exercise

Sit comfortably and relax the body, letting all tenson drain away. Let your breath relax and mind become deeply silent and open fully, 360 degrees. Imagine mind suffused with a soft, clear light that touches everything, illuminating every dark corner. When anything arises—a perception or image, a thought or feeling—simply bring it together with the clear light of fully open mind.
