The realm of our experience has external and internal aspects - such as society and culture; breath as sensation and breathing as energy; and spiritual friendship and deep/wise attention. In all cases, the skill is to bring the two together.

Awareness of the separate but shared experience of karmic patterning brings primal sympathy, and an ability to forgive and bless each other.

Breathing works through body, mental (heart) activation and awareness. With the fullness of settling (samatha), insight releases all aspects of clinging.
