This Chanting Hymn is also a "Posture Prayer" designed to facilitate healing by lifting our spirits into a higher state of consciousness. With a little practice you should be able to coordinate the bodily postures shown with the lyrics of the chant. Pay close attention to how you feel as you are performing the prayer. Notice the changes that occur to your emotional state with each repetition.
