"If you were totally content, you would also be totally painless. The body would be utterly free of tension, as all mental tension repeats itself in the body, all bodily tension being a sign of attachment elsewhere, rather than absorption in the perfection of the present.
Thus, in normal life, cultivate awareness of tension. Awareness and acceptance of tension is its own release. You cannot release from it by resisting it, as that adds rather than diminishes tension. And so begins the great paradoxical education - the acceptance of everything."
