Thanks for the encouragment Bill. I have a strong tendency to be too hard on
myself and I end up discouraging myself. I will go easier. Thanks alot.
Peace,
Allen

Hi Allen,
I recall that you have practiced martial arts before. If so, try to focus your
Chi on the areas that are numb or in pain. You shall recover sooner from their
blockage.
In the Chan sense, when you focus on the Chi, you are in essence by-passing
your ego, you shall also feel less

Thich Nhat takes seriously whatever it needs to be taken seriously.
But what in the soho tradition is taken too over seriously, Thich
Nhat Hanh will say Breathe friends, relax, you are alive. Smile and
enjoy it!. and don't take as seriously your practice that you put
others off!

What about our solemnity and strictness? Haven't we already shared that

Sorry Bill, sorry all. That was a most unkind thought and apologise
for it

Allen, It sounds like you did very well. Your body and your mind are not
separate. Just as you sit to quiet-down your mind, you also sit to relax
your body; both are one. As you continue sitting these things will happen
naturally and will not need to be forced.
However, this is not medieval
