This work helps reestablish one’s “natural rhythm and tone” as taught by Sufi master Hazrat Inayat Khan. The client is asked to apply presence to the five domains, which are the unique languages of the physical, mental, emotional, moral and spiritual aspects of self. This work is deeply relaxing, recharging, nurturing, energizing and more.
