First Steps
Think about how you first step into a pool - not by diving in, but by finding your own comfortable way to enter. Working with the three-body pattern starts similarly. You don't need special preparation or perfect conditions; you just need to begin where you are, with what's already familiar. Let's explore how to take those first steps.
Finding Your Entry Point
Notice what's already working:
Like how you naturally navigate a room
When you instinctively read situations
As you automatically adjust to change
While you unconsciously maintain balance
You're already doing this through:
How you walk without thinking
When you catch objects naturally
As you read people's moods
While you navigate daily life
Starting Where You Are
Begin with what's present:
Your current experience
Your natural awareness
Your existing skills
Your direct understanding
Notice this through:
What you already know
Where you feel comfortable
How you naturally move
What makes sense to you
Working with What's Present
Use what's available:
Like using furniture for exercise
When learning from daily tasks
As finding practice in routine
While discovering opportunity everywhere
Experience this through:
How ordinary becomes practice
When simple becomes profound
As familiar becomes fresh
While present becomes perfect
Building from Direct Experience
Let understanding grow naturally:
Like learning to ride a bike
When developing any skill
As understanding deepens
While capacity builds
Practical Application
Try this simple exercise:
Right now, notice:
What you can directly sense
Where you feel comfortable
How you naturally move
What you already understand
Choose one small thing:
Something ordinary
An everyday action
A familiar movement
A natural response
Make it conscious:
Feel it fully
Notice its parts
Sense its flow
Allow its teaching
Working with Beginning
Remember:
Start small
Use what's here
Trust what works
Allow natural development
Build gradually
The goal isn't to master anything but to begin recognizing patterns you're already living with.
Navigation Tools
When starting out:
Notice what's easy
Begin where you're comfortable
Use what's available
Trust your experience
Remember: Like learning to walk, every master skill started with simple first steps. Your current experience is the perfect place to begin.
