Thanks very much for this, I always appreciate your thoughts, especially on physical practices. Kindness and compassion are definitely on the meditation slate, and a lot of my prayer practice lately has been pointing in that direction as well. I've been trying to pay more attention to my heart beat, but I'll have to add circulation to the list as well.

As for the 3 Cauldrons, I am also not there yet, but luckily, as anonymous below points out, the center cauldron is actually at heart rather than the solar plexus, which is a detail I also missed until I asked an inadequately-reviewed question a few weeks ago. So I'll have that as part of my practice when I get to it, but I've purposely been taking things slow and steady.

Cheers,
Jeff
