Yeah I see what you are saying. Ease of tensions at the level of the body is helpful. I find mind-tension often is related to and held by body tension. I place my awareness there and smile. Sometimes I just smile. On a side note my wife actually did her graduate work on bodily tension in premature babies. We are all born with tension and trauma. One part of the collective American dis-ease IMO is that we don't touch each other that much. Mothers don't massage their babies and grandchildren don't massage their grandparents. Energy locks in external arguments. We support each other in carrying our tensions. A friends of ours, Eva Reich, has worked a lot with this--esp. in Neonates. It was really with her help that years ago I sought out a practitioner to help dissolve what Eva's father called "character armor". I was fortunate, it was a relatively easy thing for me if remembered to breathe. > > So my only purpose for bringing this up was to begin to share a > method of uncovering the Self that I believe applies to anyone.

Full enlightenment is relaxation down to our very cells--which are really just light trapped in upon itself. I don't know that you avoid purification of the body--and yes I think it is helpful--but I also don't see purification of body as a necessity. The body manifests it's shadow because we share karma reminiscent of the human realm and this waking dimension. When we diminish those "causes", tensions on all levels loose their juice.
