How to Cultivate the Habit of Awareness

Dokhsan: We wake up by waking up. You need to see when you're not awake. So much of what goes on is reflected in the body. A lot of times because we're only half aware of what we're physically feeling, we resist doing things without even knowing why. People nagging pain in the chest or sinking feeling in the stomach can drive our behavior and we're not even aware of it. It's hard to give a formula. If you're determined, if you're persistent, you will begin to wake up but you need to keep at it.
