During the practice it’s difficult to notice what is actually taking place. It can feel boring, frustrating, even silly. Or, conversely, you can feel elated, high, full of cosmic energy, and all that nonsense. But it’s usually not until after you’ve done the practice that you notice what has just happened. Of course, the very act of noticing what has happened is a small corruption of the practice. As Nishijima Sensei likes to say, “You can never notice your own enlightenment.”
