About this edition

The original text, lists, and meditation cues below preserve the book’s wording, with page footers and layout whitespace removed. The AI application and reflection are new adaptations.

This source page is a flow overview and pose inventory, rather than complete step-by-step instruction. The new application below is an attention or work exercise, separate from the physical sequence.

Historical and scientific claims, including the benefits listed in the source, have not yet undergone a complete evidence review.

The original flow overview

People can experience tremendous discomfort and tension in the neck. I am not assigning any blame, but a lot of it can be the result of poor sitting habits. The farther forward your head goes, the heavier it becomes to support. This flow will help correct alignment, and it will have your neck feeling better.
