[Raptorsin7]

Be the open space of awareness. Do not resist what's happening. Be open and accept experience as it is. 

And from that open space, breathe deeply and extend the breathe. 

Make this the foundation of your practice.

Put your attention on your anus and feel the energy move up your spine.

Become aware of the sense of suffering if you're ever in deep suffering. There will always be a felt sense of suffering in experience, and instead of distracting yourself, turn your attention towards the suffering and go deeper into it. Be with the suffering fully, fully embrace the suffering until it is no longer suffering.

[Raptorsin7]

Rest as open awareness. Accept experience fully and be fully present and aware. 

Then play some inspiring/epic music or movies scenes and feel into the music/scene. If you get the right video/music you will stimulate a pleasure center of the brain and you can feel the good feelings emerge in experience.

[Raptorsin7]

Become aware of being aware. Be aware of the sensations at the center of the head. Watch Forrest's video on clinical mindfulness.

Become aware of being aware. And feel. Become aware of feelings, and then becoming aware of the fact that you are aware of feelings.

This is the highest teaching so far. Watch the clinical mindfulness video everyday.

[Raptorsin7]

Feel. Accept the feeling deeper and deeper

[Raptorsin7]

become aware of being aware. Be aware of the present, and then aware of that and so on. Feel the energy that builds up from that. Keep it up and you will feel a charge, and that will allow the breathe to go deeper as well. 

Deep breaths. Aware of being aware. Feel the tension dissolve in the head.

[Raptorsin7]

Focus on stimulating the dorsal vagal nerve. Breathe in, and breathe out longer than the in breathe.

On the long out breathe feeling the pressure on the dorsal vagal nerve. Feel the outbreathe stimulate the spine

[Raptorsin7]

Watch the mind. Be still. Turn attention to the mind, and notice what happens. 

Watching the mind is very important. This may be a key insight. To watch the mind. Witness the activity of the mind. Don't get lost in the mind. Just rest and witness the mind.

[Raptorsin7]

The strength is in the spine. Put your attention to the spine and find strength.

Put attention on the spine, and use that strength to keep attention on the breathe. 

Use the spine to go deeper into your feelings.

Tony Parson's is a G. I think I struck gold with his teaching.

Knowing is everything. 

[Raptorsin7]

Know thyself. Know the nature of knowing.

[Raptorsin7]

Go to the experience of being aware. This is the beginning of deep practice. 

Once you are aware of being aware, then notice what happens from this place. I think i'm seeking from the space of being aware and that is blocking me from going deeper.

Lose yourself in the experience of being aware. Get absorbed into that experience. Surrender to the experience. 

Breathe into the experience of being aware. You are awareness. There is nothing to seek. You are it. Breathe as yourself. Don't breathe to find yourself. Breathe and be yourself. 

Bring attention to the lower chakras and breathe and chant into them. The lower chakras contain a lot of energy and trauma for me so it's an important place to explore.

Most important is to do multi hour floats more frequently. 2 days a week on my days off will be excellent.

[Raptorsin7]

Breathe deeply into the chest, stomach, and lower chakras. Engage the body with the breathe. Breathe into the mass of tension localized as the body/being.

Don't make the breathing mechanical. The deeper the breathing, and the more parts of the body are engaged, the more relaxed the body will become.

Breathe into the lower chakras.

[Raptorsin7]

Rest as awareness. Just be aware. Don't make any effort beyond recognizing that you are aware. Then notice what arises. 

I think i'm making too much of an effort and the seeking is causing me to overlook the simplicity of being aware. 

There's definitely some trauma with the lower chakras with sexuality and bladder, but i wonder if these will be resolved with just being aware and abiding in that space.

[Raptorsin7]

Breakthrough. Incredible experience with music and resting as awareness.

The key is the awareness. Being yourself. Being yourself and resting. The hardest part is to rest as pure awareness without the mind clinging to some object and getting distracted and caught up in experience.

Fuck all my haters and fuck everyone who doubted me I fucking did it.

Chant-  Wa-Ha-hamuma

[Raptorsin7]

Rest after the inbreathe. Rest in the space after the inbreathe.

[Raptorsin7]

In Breathe to fill the stomach and abdoment/sharp in breathe during the day:

 

During the meditation do a gentle sharp in breathe to fill abdomen and make a very elongated gentle/gentle/calm out breathe 

Do This 10 Times

 

Use the out breathe to let go. The out breathe makes it easier to let go and sink in to the here and now

[Raptorsin7]

1. Breathe Hold in the middle of the meditation. Do a long enough in breathe so you get a full breathe quickly, and you get a nice flow on the out breathe. 

2. Double dorsal wave. Breathe in and hold for 10 seconds, and then breathe out for 10 seconds. Do this at least 10 times, do it in a row. Mix it up with the outbreathe through the mouth and the nose.

3. After the breathe hold relax and watch the breath, let go of control. Look for the breathe to fall into the shallow breath rate.
