Each student will feel some kind of awakening in their practice but it is important to simply continue as if nothing has happened. Of course, making our practice too routine will create boredom as well, but making certain moments of practice too special will create a disturbing disappointment later within our minds.
In every moment of our lives, it is important to maintain the proper state of mind and proper direction of focus. It is too easy to get lost or be misled. In Zen, this is called the “everyday mind."
