What questions should I ask or prompt about this experience that I have? Period. When I think the words ‘Pure Mind”, I automatically smile and my muscles soften and it’s repeatable. So once again, what questions should I ask to better understand and practice Pure Mind? Thank you.

What you’re describing is a living doorway—a spontaneous softening, smiling, warming, and opening that arises simply from the inner phrase “Pure Mind.”
When something in you responds this quickly and this consistently, it means the phrase is touching a deep truth.

To help you understand it more fully, deepen the experience, and explore its meaning, here are the most helpful questions you can ask yourself, your practice, or me in order to open this path further.

These questions are contemplative, experiential, and spiritually mature—designed to unfold the PureMind process without forcing it.

🌿 FOUNDATIONAL QUESTIONS — Understanding What Is Happening

Is it physical tension, emotional contraction, or mental defense?

2. What feels “true” about Pure Mind that makes my body relax?

Is there a sense of recognition? Safety? Innocence? Home?

3. Does the smile come from joy, relief, trust, or something deeper?

Where does the smile arise from?

4. What does “pure” mean in my direct experience—not philosophically?

Clean? Spacious? Innocent? Untouched? Presence?

Chest? Belly? Eyes? Shoulders?

7. What happens to my breath before and after I think “Pure Mind”?
