Flower, Fresh - Just The Bell, The Phrases And Silence

If you are new to these Plum Village breathing phrases, please start with the other Flower, Fresh track here.

This track is for those who are used to the rhythm of the practice and are looking for more space and silence to stay with each phrase and quality.

Three bells to start, an awakening of the bell before each phrase (the tonk) and a full sounding after each phrase. We finish with three more soundings of the bell.
