View submission: Short morning practice/intention advice?

Morning practice at the zen temples I’ve stayed at always start with bows, offering incense, and chanting. Here are two morning chants in Sino-Japanese that might resonate with you:

Prajnaparamita (Heart Sutra)

Enmei Jukku Kannon Gyo[1] (chant starts at 1:30)

Take care, friend!

Ty so much!! Sort of off-topic question, but I’m not able to do full prostrations because of a health condition - do you know if there is a particular way people modify standing bows when it’s time for full bows? Like do I put my palms up while bowing instead of my palms together in front of me?
