Practice Peacefully
Feel the vital energy circulating within you like a flow of precious water. Identify energy leaks caused by the dispersion of the senses. Channel this force by directing your attention to a single virtuous point. Adjust your posture with the precision of an artisan working with their material. Refuse to let your vital force be wasted in agitation. Savor the mastery and contained power of a disciplined mind.
