Everyday Post-Ego Practice For The Permanent Natural High
The simple path to inner peace

This type of thinking is often called intuition. We call it puzzle breathing. Breathe deeply and slowly as you begin to try to solve the puzzle of your particular imprisonment on this day. After you solve it and…
