Hi all. I have a question for you wonderful folks. I've been doing some Third Eye work recently, experimenting with different methods and such. While reading, something was brought to my attention that I never really thought about before: How do you shift your awareness to a specific place?
I don't mean how can I, but I mean how do you? I have never had trouble just resting in awareness, but sometimes I can become confused when shifting my awareness to a specific place. For instance, my Third Eye. The book I'm currently reading recommends meditating while being "aware" of the area between your eyebrows, while at the same time recommending not using any visualizations to do this (for other purposes I wont get into).
The confusion: to shift my awareness to the area between my eyebrows, I usually just picture that place directly as if looking at myself from just in front of myself. I then just try to rest in that area and be aware of anything. This is a visualization though, and I can't really understand how to do this without visualizing anything. He then says to be aware of the area between your eyebrows AND a vibration in my throat at the same time. This would be easy with a visualization, but not so easy for me without one.
Other times when I shift awareness to a place, for instance when I rest in my heart space, I do similar things as picturing myself from in front, or just picturing myself as a light body in sort of a 3D model view with an intensity in one area. Other times when I want to be aware of a toe I stubbed, I kind of move my awareness through my body down to my toes, as if I am in a ship traveling through the body. I then rest in awareness when I get there.
Anyway, if anyone can offer anything, I welcome it. Please, share how you shift your awareness to certain places and if you use any visualizations for aid. Anyone good at feeling specific places in/around you care to share methods?
Namaste
