While there are many techniques for achieving relaxation of the body and numerous methods for focusing the mind, the 61 Points Exercise is unique in that it combines these two endeavors into a single, powerful technique that guides the practitioner to a peaceful, one-pointed, inward focus of the mind. The combination of mental calmness and physical relaxation leads one to a profound equanimity and a significant revitalization. This calm state of body, emotions, and mind provides the basis for expanding internal awareness: awareness of the body, of ones energetic state, and of the functions of the mind. Unique in the field of internalization and relaxation techniques, 61 Points can help you to develop a dynamic, energetic state, and the capacity to experience the profound clarity and stillness that lies deep within your being.
