Review:

"Many of my students are also my teachers, and Sister Chan Khong is one of the foremost among them. The love and concern that underlie her work are deep. Her life is a Dharma talk, and she has much to tell us." --Thich Nhat Hanh

""Deep Relaxation" is...an excellent way to take a breather when you're feeling overwhlemed. Khong suggests dividing a stressful workday into segments and doing short sessions of deep relaxation between each segment. When you do this, she says, you'll come to your next activity with increased freshness and effectiveness."
"Shambhala Sun"
