Mind
- clean thought without fear or expectation
- clear awareness on state of body, breathing, brush, ink and paper
- here and now
Breathing
- natural without forcing
- smooth without holding
- complete without breaking
Body
- right posture (suspend crown, release neck, spread up backbones, step on ground stably)
- relaxation (scan all joints’ relaxation from toes until finger joints)
- sensation (feel the touching between finger tips and shaft, the touching between tip of brush and paper)
