But it's not quite the right kind, is it? This tense determination to maintain tranquility. So it has Koumyou reaching out to take his hands again, with a gentle, "You can't force it, Devero. Let's re-center."
Well, he could force it along somewhat, but not at this stage. Not when Koumyou's just trying to get him to establish baseline focus so that he'll know what to aim for when they move on to chanting instead of traditional meditation. And eventually, chanting while moving.
Maybe eventually, chanting without having to do it out loud.
"Back to breathing, eyes closed. In through the nose, hold it... out through the mouth... back straight, shoulders loose. In through the nose..."
He'll guide Devero like this for as long as it takes to relax him again, still gently holding his hands. And then, only once he judges that Devero's back to a calmer state, he offers, "Do you want to keep trying, or shall we call it for the day?"
