Traveled up to Harbin yesterday to soak, and meditate {a kind of relaxation response harmonizing effect, or inner releasing action, for me} in the pools, and as I checked in at the Harbin gate, I found the following flyer. Heart Consciousness Church which owns Harbin is celebrating its 40th anniversary (1975-2015) this month ~
