By a new practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) I want to talk to you about sending forth righteous thoughts. I had not done it very well. At the beginning, I thought it was because I was a new practitioner and did not have great abilities. Therefore I only sent forth righteous thoughts three times every Sunday morning and ignored doing so at other times.

During the last couple of days, I suddenly found that I did not feel pain in my legs any longer while doing the sitting exercise. I barely felt anything after one hour. Each time I did well or understood something new, I would feel less pain when doing the sitting exercise. This was something that had never happened to me before. I thought it must be our Teacher who wanted me to understand Fa from the experience.

Today, I was unwilling to uncross my legs even after the music finished, and then I thought to send forth righteous thoughts. I entered into a tranquil state, erected my palm, recited the formulas, and I felt a very powerful strength all over my body. I tightly crossed my legs together and focused with all my energy. Although I could not see anything, I felt that the powerful righteous thoughts in my body were eliminating all the evil forces in the three realms that sabotage the Fa (law and principles). It was as our Teacher said, "You should focus your attention and your effort, your mind has to be absolutely clear and rational, the force of your thoughts needs to be focused and strong, with an air of supremacy and of destroying all evil in the cosmos." ("Righteous Thoughts") I felt the momentum of the powerful righteous thoughts of a Falun Dafa practitioner.

I realized the reason why it seemed as if I was only doing the gestures and why my mind always drifted away while trying to send forth righteous thoughts: I did not cross my legs in a lotus position, my body was slack, so I could not focus my thoughts. Our Teacher said that we were allowed not to cross our legs, but I thought it was because our Teacher factored in that it might be not convenient for us to do so in public. When we send forth righteous thoughts at home, I think we should do it crossed legged, because this will help us to focus our thoughts and be most powerful. Perhaps different people have different situations. This is just what I have enlightened to.

Our Teacher also said, "Actually, every Dafa disciple has abilities. It's just that the abilities do not manifest in the surface dimension, so they think that they don't have supernormal abilities. But regardless of whether they can manifest in the surface dimension or not, when a person's true thoughts come forth, they are very powerful."

Let us encourage each other.
