Don’t Try Too Hard—Let It Happen

I’ve had calls with many of our readers recently. I’m deeply grateful that so many of you have already experienced real improvement—and that you’re genuinely passionate about Oneness.

But I noticed one thing in common: you’re trying too hard.

Let me explain.

1. Oneness Is Non-Doing

Oneness practice is aboutnon-doing, non-attaching,andbeing present—the exact opposite of our human tendency.

Since 1950, when Grandmaster Wang Xiangzhai, founder of Dacheng Quan, first introduced Oneness to the public for healing, it has become widely practiced in China. Yet, as he once said:

“When I live, there is only one practice; when I pass away, there will be hundreds of practices.”

He was right. Today there are hundreds of standing practices in China, and even more variations around the world. Why? Because ancient wisdom isnotour common sense. Humans always want to add more and make things complex.

As the Tao Te Ching says:

“Less is more; more is confusion.”
“In studying, one gains daily. In practicing the Tao, one reduces daily.”

That’s why my second book is about Tao. The Tao Te Ching is said to be the second most translated book in the world—after the Bible. Yet while many can quote a few poetic lines about “flow” or “balance,” few truly live it.

In my book’s opening metaphor:Laozi climbed to the mountain top and painted the view from there.The masters after him taught people to climb. But over time, people forgot the climbing—and began teaching only how to paint the picture.

I’m fortunate to have met Grandmaster Yu Hongkun. I believe a teacher like him appears only once in a hundred years—so different from the noise of the modern world.

2. Fruit-Ground vs. Cause-Ground Cultivation

Most modern practices followcause-ground cultivation—starting from causes: “Why do I suffer? Why am I angry? How do I fix it?” It’s a long road, and most people get lost along the way.

Oneness followsfruit-ground cultivation.It starts from thefruit—health, peace, joy, compassion. We simply stand there, relax, and enjoy.

At first, the fruit is small and fragile. We nurture it gently. Over time, pain fades and anger dissolves. That’s why Grandmaster Yu calls Oneness “direct and effective”—because it begins directly from the fruit.

3. Don’t Work Hard on Yourself

During the first 30 days, many people stand for 30–60 minutes. But the key isnot duration—it’s enjoyment.Let your body and mind become one, and one with nature.

Suggestion for beginners:

• Practice15–20 minutes each timeduring the first 30 days.

• If you enjoy it, practicemore times a dayrather than standing longer.

• After the first month, continue with20–30 minutes—but only if it feels natural.

How to measure progress:
You don’t feel tired the next day.

4. No Goals—Just Practice

Don’t set goals. Enjoy each day. Let change happen naturally. Some improve quickly; others need more time. As Grandmaster Yu says:

“One minute of practice brings one minute of difference.”
You may not notice it at first—but it’s already happening.

5. After Three Months

After three months, we can evaluate together—whether to continue the 30-minute daily rhythm or move toward deeper breakthrough practice.

6. Posture Photos

If possible, please share your standing photos fromfour angles—front, back, left, and right—so we can help check and refine your posture.

Stay relaxed, stay joyful,
and let the transformation unfoldnaturally.
