Focus on seeing two sides of things. sthira and sukha. alertness and calmness.
Patanjali's Yoga Sutra 2.46 sthirasukhanasanam - pose is steady and comfortable.
Sthirasukha myth: Ananta, king of snakes is floating on an ocean. The snake's body coiled forms the comfortable couch, which Visnu lies upon. The snake's head rises above Visnu as a protective umbrella upon which the earth rests. Here, we look at the the snakes body. Sukha is soft and gentle to serve as a couch for a God, and Sthira is firm and steady to support the whole earth.
