I found this exercise much easier to do by me focusing on my
nostrils taking in air I was able to acknowledge passing thoughts and let them gently
pass through. I became real relaxed but not sleepy almost like I was suspended animation
state. I was aware of everything but not a part of it. For me this was more beneficial
to me then love and kindness in its own way it made me focus more in ward and
my own thoughts and why I feel them instead of just projecting love and
kindness because I chose to project those feelings.
Hi Antonio,
ReplyDeleteI think that was a good point you made about focusing on your nostrils. I can see how that can help you focused a bit better because you are technically focusing on something and listening to the waves and the words being said. I also agree that this audio was more about love and kindness from within and then being able to share them instead of you feeling like you have to be so loving and full of kindness when it should just come naturally.

Hello Antonio,
ReplyDeleteI am surprised you did not sneeze a couple times while focusing from the nostrils. LOL Did you feel a different sensation while breathing? During inhalation did you feel the lungs fill with air completely like a balloon?
Antonio focusing on your nostrils is a good idea I agree and it seemed to have help you quite well. We don't have to be loving and have kindness to do this exercise or have a subtle mind either, just the fact that it does relaxes you is beneficial. Matthew made a joke about pinching the nostrils but I guess anything works as long as the techniques works.
