Don’t we get stressed every day for something or other?. Though many of us feel the need to practice some stress relieving technique, very few begin practicing and majority of the beginners drop out. This is because we don't have the time, not inclined to stretch, exercise or sit still. Don't we need a simple practice that does not demand time, posture or movement which we can do routinely everyday but works every time we do it?
