It’s quite rare for me, but I do think that with my continuing Kum Nye practice, my experience of this emotion will increase. I felt it yesterday, doing a very basic exercise. It involves sitting, imagining two clocks in front of you, putting your right hand at 9, and your left at 3, then doing three very slow circles, first clockwise, then counterclockwise, while rotating your neck in the same direction. You do 3, very slowly, sit for a couple minutes, then do 3 in the other direction, and sit for ten minutes or so to feel what happened. (I describe the exercise, because I suspect I may have readers who think Kum Nye is “nothing but” Vipassana meditation. It is much more. It involves not just observing sensations, but actively stimulating them in constantly varying ways.)
While doing the circles, I contacted this extraordinarily rich energy, filled with life and vitality, and it felt like the first time I saw snowflakes.
All of our problems have solutions, including that of ennui.
