sometimes see, in my mind’s eye, Kuan Yin and I riding on the dragon through
the situation, and when I do, I am often able to let go of fear and panic and
return to calm mindfulness. Try it for

Then guide the chi from laboring palace out through the two pointing fingers into the area in your body being treated. This is One hand Near. Now take the other hand which we will call the far hand, and place it about 12 to 20 inches from your lower dan tien. Aim ...
