Nice sitting Jonnie. Have a safe flight Jundo. By the way, what is the meaning of the swaying left and right after the sitting? To flex the body a bit after staying in one position for so long? I just noticed I’ve started to do the same thing after watching sit-a-longs and I was curious as to why.

Haha, it was like a Zen infomercial! — “You sir, have you even encountered Zen before?”– “No, I have not.”– “Then sit right here and put your hands like this.”– “Wow, I can actually feel the universe becoming one!”– “Yes! And for easy payments of 20mins a day for the rest of your life, this feeling can become yours!”Haha, good show!Thanks Jundo and JonnieCheers,Kelly M.
