The 61 point perfect peace (Sushanti) meditation is a simple exercise for relaxing the body and allowing the opening of all the small pathways of our energy network. It is very beneficial in calming the mind and nervous system. I often teach it to my physical therapy patients who have experienced trauma in either physical or emotional sense. It is an important component that helps my martial arts and holistic health students to reach the higher levels of integration.
