When I bow I actually try to feel there is a lotus flower blooming in every part of my body.
It helps me transit into the posture to feel free in a beautiful, elegant and delicate feeling, I’m feeling joy right away and concentrate that even when my head touches the ground it won’t be that hard, because flower petals are so delicate and soft so you would never press too hard.
So every movement become a joyful and light feeling.
I realised that the dragon breathe and dragon temper techniques are also related to that. When you are doing Taiji the Taiji is not about the move only, you are actually creating a joyful feeling every second, or light or powerful feeling, challenge into any posture you want, you are actually learning to create a feeling in everything you do.
Eventually if you can train this power to create a feeling of non-stop unlimited joy in everything you do then you are already in Pure Land this lifetime.
