...The exercises concentrate on various parts of the body but we are advised to apply caution regarding past injuries or any weaknesses. I have benefited greatly from a range of movements giving me a general feeling of improved wellbeing thanks to the guidance and expertise of our Instructor."

Testimonial of a former regular client
"I started regular (group) yoga classes as I thought the exercises might help a dodgy back and general fitness. I needed gentle exercises and weekly classes suit me fine. I tentatively began, feeling apprehensive, but the helpful Instructor calmed my nerves...

That's karma on a whole different level.

My advice today is to block all forms of immersive reality environments.

Desire: craving, habitual or conditioned 'want' (beyond natural need)
Consciousness: clear or pure knowing or insight.
Non-attachment: detachment, equanimity.

Focus: well-attended, concentrated.
Firm ground: in the sense of a stable foundation to consciousness or experience of life

This section deals with practice, defining its features and benefits.

Experiencing: lit seen and heard objects; perceiving, experiencing sensory perception

Notes on translation:
I am intentionally presenting the words in the order of the original.
Steadiness: consistency, firmness
Sustained: lengthy, extended, lit. (for a) long time
Uninterrupted: without pause break or interruption; free of interruption/ disturbance/ distraction

I'm intentionally featuring and referencing terms from modern psychology and neuroscience, as my aim is for the translation to have relevance across domains vs purely philosophical. Mind here is more than "brain" - it represents nervous system with its complexity of interconnections.

Five processes of mind (neurophysiology) are presented. I see a loose mapping to the five brain wave states, suggesting ancient were well aware of different levels of awareness or consciousness.
