R.R.S.R.

Simply repeat the cycle: Realize when distracted, Relax body and mind, Smile in relief, Rest.

  • Place the body in a comfortable, stable and safe position.
  • Relax body and mind, letting everything settle.
  • R.R.S.R. is practiced as a repeating cycle.
    • Begin by resting, generating no intentional thoughts or movements.
    • When the mind moves or becomes caught in distraction, Realize this has occurred.
      • Notice how mind stirs on its own, without any will or wish for it to.
    • Notice any tension present in body or mind and Relax whatever can be let go of.
      • Whatever tension remains is fine.
    • Notice the sense relief as the tension is let go of. Let this relief generate a gentle Smile in mind and body.
    • Simply Rest in inaction until mind stirs again.
  • Once mind stirs or grows distracted, begin the cycle again.
