During sittings, I have learned to welcome those small signs from my body that tell me that all is well. My favorites are the sighs, and the yawns, and the silent burps. Physical expressions of more relaxed states. Rewards for staying focused, and being with each breath. Not trying to rush, or control the pace. Respecting the in between stillness of the chest. Not being too greedy either, and yearning for the goodies. I love the sensation of expansion, that comes from going with what is, constriction included.
