Winter Support

We know that experiences of settling into your being will be only momentary in the beginning. One moment you will find yourself relaxed into your being, another moment it will be gone... One moment all is fragrance, and the next moment you are searching for it and you cannot find it, where it has gone. Only glimpses will happen in the beginning. Slowly, slowly, they become more and more solid, they abide more and more. Slowly slowly, slowly slowly, they settle forever. Before that, you cannot be allowed to take it for granted: that will be a mistake. Between sessions, use the method. Drop the method when you are in meditation. But this will happen only for moments in the beginning. For a moment the clouds had separated and you had seen the sun. Now the clouds are there again; it is all dark and the sun has disappeared. It is so incredible, it looks so impossible, that it could have happened to YOU. With all this stupidity in the mind, with all these clouds and darkness, it had happened to you: you saw the sun for a moment. It doesn't look probable - you must have imagined it, maybe you had fallen into a dream and seen it. Between sessions start again, be in the boat, use the boat again. ...translated from Osho Have a peaceful winter. Take the time to be gentle with your with yourself. Some days naturally feel better than others. Take the time to relax into your qigong practice, to relax into the life of your dreams.
