Natural Being

Walking your own way so simply that self-love becomes behaviour.

This is the gate of loving your own way of being. Its shadow is self-obsession in both directions, vanity and self-judgment, the endless mirror. Its gift is naturalness: behavior that has stopped performing and simply expresses what you are.

The practice is to catch yourself acting for an imagined audience and to relax, mid-gesture, into what is actually true. Self-love here is not an affirmation but a behavior, the way you walk when no one is watching. Perfected, it dissolves into pure being, the simplest state there is.
