It is important to take care of ourselves. There are two practical daily actions necessary as the basic foundation of our spiritual lives: eating and sleeping well. These are acts of care and gentleness that tune us into our true nature. By contemplating the body as sacred, we remember our kindness to our body and mind as an indispensable facet of daily practice.

Pre- and Post-Doctoral interns administer the tests, score them, and analyze the results under the supervision of a licensed psychologist. Some limitations apply, such as the testing being unable to be used in court or for legal purposes.
