This is the sixth.
Session in this series.
We started with.
Physical awareness more with the physical relaxation more then we move towards more focus on the energy on the breath.
Which induces more mental relaxation.

We try to sow the seed of forbearance.
In the hot and cold of the life.
In the.
.
.
Storms and calm of the life.
Being.
Equanimous.
Building upon that,
In today's session,
The theme of the practice the seed of thought which we want to so deeper layer into the mind.

Throughout our day.
Many emotions rise into our mind.
Sadness,
