#72 How To Enjoy at the Beginning?
There are two important milestones in Oneness Standing.
The first: Discovering enjoyment in your practice.
The second: Crossing a deeper threshold, when everyday feels like a deep, spa-like experience. The comfort becomes so profound that you never want to quit.
Some people feel the difference in their very first session. Others take longer, especially perfectionists, people with anxiety, or those whose bodies simply need more time.
So how can you find enjoyment sooner?
1. Take More Time with the Three Anchors
Half-Smile: Gently lift the corners of your mouth, part your lips, and separate your teeth slightly. Let the smile spread across your face, softening your forehead and the space between your eyebrows. Slowly extend it through your chest, back, pelvis, knees, and whole body. Finally, imagine smiles filling the space around you.
Breath: Gently sigh. Let your breath settle naturally into your lower abdomen. Feel it softly expand without forcing anything.
360° Awareness: Look far ahead, find a distant object, then widen your vision to 180°. Listen far behind, notice a distant sound, then widen your listening to 180°. Now feel the entire 360° space around you, as if your body were immersed in a warm spring.
Don't rush. Give each anchor time to settle.
2. Practice with Nature
When weather allows, practice outdoors among trees, greenery, or near a lake.
Nature can make it easier to relax and experience the feeling of being one with your surroundings.
3. Tell Yourself: "I'm Good. I'm Ready. Just Enjoy."
Once your posture and Three Anchors are established, stop checking and correcting yourself.
Tell yourself: "I'm good. I'm ready. Just enjoy." Then leave everything alone.
No chasing sensations. No searching for perfection. Let your body do its work.
Remember, enjoyment may begin with just a little softness, comfort, or quiet.
First, discover the enjoyment. Then let it grow.
