When depressed, depress not your head - lift it up.
Look to the sky. Gasp - take a deep breath.
Open your eyes wide. Smile.
And where is the depression now?
If you are mindful of your body postures when you are depressed,
you will notice that it takes certain patterns - you slouch and your breathing becomes sighing,
and your eyes become lifeless and small as you frown.
Maintaining these postures is almost a sure way of maintaining the depression.
Do the opposite and see what happens.
Hence, spiritual cultivation means the mindfulness and purification of these three doors.
