0. Focus or Awareness.
The wonders of focus and awareness can be understood best with breath. Most of the time you breathe and you don't even know it. But focus on your breathing and you will notice it. To train focus, is to train the ability to notice imperceptible things.
So focus on your breath, notice it, it was there all along, this will come in handy later.
1. Focus first.
- Touch something with your finger, anything. Notice that sensation? Keep your focus on it. To help, close your eyes and focus on it as if you are in the sensation, you are the sensation. Let all else dissolve but that singular sensation, keep at it, keep at it and notice what happens. The sensation will amplify. Maybe you will even get a tingle. Your attention carries energy and can be trained. At my level I can focus on a part of my flesh and it will heat up, heat up until it can even release a pleasant feeling, like a pleasant goosebump.
- Focus on your finger without touching anything, as if you are the finger, you are in the finger, your focus is in it. To help, focus on the emotion the finger gives, the sensation of it. Your finger is always there but if you focus on it more you will notice it more and if you focus even more it will start get a feeling of pressure and heat, even tingle. That is energy. You carry energy in it by your focus. Your blood will get closer to that spot.
2. Focus can be spread.
You can now focus on your entire palm, your entire hand, yes even your entire body. Experiment, force your focus to spread in your body as much as you can and as deep as you can. What will happen, you will get head pressure? Why? Because the head is directly connected to the focus, it is a sign that something is used.
let the head pressure become so big it eventually unfolds and your head becomes blank and you lose sense of time... you will touch upon a new dimension.
3. Coming back to breath with focus, connecting it to flesh.
Now, put your focus in your palm and focus on the breath as well. Try to unite the feeling from your breath with the feeling from your palm. Persevere and your palm will eventually get cold when you breathe in and hot when you breathe out, you will even feel how it breathes. This is the start of learning the whole body breathing.
At a very advanced stage you can breathe with your entire body. This is not just simple breathing and an illusory feeling. If you continue, your body will charge up with energy and that energy will release with deep emotion, like a pleasant discharge, like an orgasm. That release is healing, in a way.
So how to do this. Again, close your eyes, it helps and focus on the sensation of your palm. Be in the sensation, force it at first. Later it will come naturally, but at first, you must force it, will it. So be in the sensation of the palm and notice your breath as well. Try to feel as if you breathe with your palm by focusing on the breath as well. To help, slow down your breathing and breathe slowly and deeply in and focus on how your palm sucks in the air as well. Slowly and deeply with the in breath.
Do the same with the out breath, slowly and deeply as you grasp the feeling. Persevere until you get it. When you breathe too quickly, the sensation is hard to grasp. But if you will it and breathe very slowly and deeply while trying to feel like your palm is a lung, like it is a nose sucking in air, slowly and deeply, you will get the sensation of in breath and out breath. It is like catching a sensation while constructing it, but it has an effect.
When you breathe in, it will cool down and suck in the air, when you breathe out, it will warm up and charged.
Charge your entire body like this and eventually you will get pleasant tinglings, energy releases. Listen to a song that makes you very emotional and you will get a pleasant goosebump. This is natural, but with more practice in this meditation it will amplify it.
-LET YOUR HEAD PRESSURE GET SO BIG THAT IT CAVES IN ON ITSELF AND UNFOLDS.
