Question : When I do handshake practice, I do emotional meditation with "monsters". When I realize it, look into it, be with it, feel a sense of peace, but experience the energy spins in my body, and after a while, I return to stability and firmness. My spine became very straight, and I don't know what to do after that?
Rinpoche : What's wrong with your spine? Does it mean that it is stiff? Or is it just that the body is very straight? It is OK if you just have a straight body but not tight. You said you don’t know what you want to do later? Why do you need to do what? Just keep going! Continue to meditate.
Are those gas flowing? Maybe! Have they entered the pulse? Maybe! You just live there, whatever it is, no matter what it is, just keep moving forward, continue to shake hands and practice, and continue to meditate! No need to do anything else, so far, nothing needs to be done.
But if you stick to it, stick to it, or block it, that's not good. It's like when we walk, sometimes we see flowers, sometimes we see hills, sometimes we go downhill, but we keep moving forward.
"Oh! There is a garden here, how should I walk?" "Oh! The bear is here, how should I walk?" "Oh! There are flowers, how should I walk?" In fact, there is no different way of walking. Just walk forward like this, even if you see the garden, flowers, mountains, and water, you still keep moving forward! The same is true when doing handshake practice. No matter what kind of feelings or experiences you have, you just continue to practice.
Although the experience will change, there is only one way! Just like how to chew stinky tofu? How to chew rice? Just chew!
Question: How can you relax?
Rinpoche : Put down the old things you have grabbed. It is not worth it to hold them tightly. If you can do it, put it down. It is very simple. catch like this, you just forget to put it down, and when you remember to let it go, it will be put down.
We have two abilities: crawling and letting go.
I often say to myself that at the level of the heart, if we want, we can let go, but we forget to do so. On the emotional level, if we want, we have the ability to let go, but we do not use this ability. Even on the body, when you feel tight, once you remember, you relax .
We have this ability, but we have not used it. On many levels, as long as you can grab, you can let go and loosen it.
But because we are afraid that we can't catch what we want, and all the information provided by our parents, school, friends, and bosses also teach us to catch it, so we catch it more and more, and we keep holding it like this, forgetting that we still hold it. Over time, these things that we hold on to will turn into garbage.
More and more garbage will cause you to suffer.
Usually there is a button on our computer called "Delete (delete) " from time to time, you have to use that button so that more space is available. Similarly, when we practice "ha - let it go! Who cares! ", releases our inner space, so that we can hold more, pay attention and take care of more! Smile! Only every day can you have more smiles.
views! I grabbed this (Rinpoche held a pack of paper with his palm facing down, stopping in the air), and you said, "Rinpoche, please put it down", and I could put it down as soon as I let go (Rinpoche lets go of his hand, and the paper falls down naturally).
If I continue to hold on, you will remind you again: "Rinpoche, keep holding on, please let go", and I will relax and open down! Therefore, remind yourself that at every moment, remind yourself to "let go" and "let go" to discover space. Reminders like
can be done at every level, whether it is the level of thought, the level of emotions, the level of the subtle body, the level of the body, etc.
Sometimes you know your muscles are tight, and you relax when you know; sometimes your shoulders will hunch, and when I say that I will put my shoulders down, I feel relaxed immediately. If you forget it again, remind yourself again to "relax", "let go of thoughts", "relax", and "let go of thoughts"!
