Traditional body notes

This is a guide to help you focus on rebalancing your life and your body. It is not a religious practice. It is a simple way to keep your attention on a different part of that balance each day.

These rows are traditional notes about strain, excess, and habits people have associated with each petal. They are not a diagnosis, a treatment, or a claim that a practice cures anything. If something hurts, or a habit is running your day, talk with a person who is trained to help. You can still use the breath and the sound.

Read only what is useful as a mirror. Do not use these lines to decide what is wrong with your body.
