Just Watch What Happens

Has it ever happened to you that despite your best intentions, very soon after you begin to Notice the ease, somehow the ease has disappeared? Does it seem as if you can either Notice the ease or do the activity but not both at the same time; that the two are mutually exclusive.

The trick is to stop trying to hold on to the ease and simply see what happens to it. Doing this opens things up because once you stop trying so hard to keep the ease and simply see what happens to it, the ease continues. You can even say to yourself: "Let me watch how the ease disappears as I move." The fact is that ease, which seems to be so elusive, is only elusive when you're trying to catch it.
