"Like a musician who comes alive through his instrument,
so must we come alive through our bodies. Letting life flow,
being one within our thoughts, touch, sense, and emotions,
we are able to feel the one important aspect of life—the heart.
By opening our heart center, we are able to experience each
moment, truly and fully, and not to want or expect the next."
—Pauline
