There is a pulse, a murmuring in the root
A delicate quiver through its stem It sinks....yet, it rises simultaneously? Unfurling, from its humbled sleep, it stands. Its form complete The hard and brick-like winter ground Could not stop its gentle push To greet the morning sun. - John H

Thank you John, for the care you took in answering my question. I think I need to, as Roman keeps saying, keep practising. It’s a real discipline keeping up the focus, but very rewarding when it works out sometimes.
Thanks Pat. Sounds as if you have had a really good experience in your practice so you must be doing right and as you say its very rewarding when it all seems to click. I am sure you will have many more. Can I suggest you stick to the little things such as, when ever you feel tension in the body relax it downward, suspend the head-top, place your attention in the Tan Tien, maintain your centreline and your feet flat to the floor or ground with your weight spread evenly in both feet and your breathe long slow fine and calm. When focusing do so gently by use of the mind and not through forceful willing. or muscular tension. Comments are closed.
