Conciousness Streching Through The Body

[Principium Nexus]

Hi Actualized.org,

Today I sat down to meditate and experienced something with much greater detail than I was aware of before. I start to let my body rest and feel gravity pull on me, feeling my own weight pressing into the ground, feeling all the bodily surface sensations. There is always a point where there is slight discomfort in the legs or feet when sitting down for a long period of time.

I adjusted my body bit by bit and slowly was able to overcome being too attached to this discomfort and able to "surface" to my skin and head. Sensations being observed for what they are; sounds, lightflashes through the closed eyelids, internal movements, air flowing over the skin.

I started to focus on micro-movenements, small concious attempts to do delicate smooth movements. For example let my palms rest on my legs and move my fingers very slowly, being aware of the velocity, direction at all time.

The key here is to become more and more aware into deeper layers of subtleness and create a higher resolution of local awareness of the body. 

By slowly becoming more aware into more subtle levels of micro expressions one can start to move this concious experience of the self around and even start to expand the scope.

Moving from the hands up the arms slowly to shoulders. Move the muscles in a smooth manner and keep the eyes closed at all times. You want to lose your visual experience which is dominant for 80% if not more, and use this to explore bodily sensations without being distracted.

Slowly one can start to feel a clear trend in bodily awareness. At some point something very interesting happened to me. It felt like my concious inner body was being blown up like a balloon or my body was streched over my concious awareness like a sock.

I remained calm and enjoyed the subtleness of this interesting heightens state of bodily awareness. The mind had become sharp too due to the strong self-presence attained by the process.

Some thoughts that went through my mind imagined how prominent this experience was between spiritual awareness and the material body world. I felt like it resembled a small journey of going from small presence to fullness, or from being very aware of a small body area (residing in spiritual awareness) and then letting this awareness flow into the fullness of the body.

As if water was breaching through an door but now this door was wide open.

It was great technique to attain greater presence and I recommend others trying to follow up on the mental awareness steps and bodily techniques.

Challenge yourself, focus on how aware you can become. Do you feel the awareness streching into your meat body and moving it around? How aware is your conciousness of that body and it's structures and senses.

Hope you enjoyed my small read and are inspired to meditate more. You can do it, it's awesome!
