Part of a new series of guided practices included in the FREE Plum Village App ➛ https://plumvillage.app The series is kindly offered by mindfulness teacher Sister Dang Nghiem. This audio offers guidance on the practice of deep relaxation – an opportunity to come back to be in contact with our body.

We recognize the wonders of our eyes, our hands, our lungs, and everything else. We also become more aware of the tension and pain in the body, which perhaps originate from the body but may also come from difficult circumstances and sadness over the years.

➛ The content of this audio draws on Sister Dang Nghiem's latest book, Flowers in the Dark (2021), a deeply thoughtful guide to healing trauma with mindfulness practice. By bringing together her lived experience as a survivor, a certified MD, and an ordained Buddhist teacher, she offers a body-based, practical approach to healing from the most difficult and painful life experiences.
