When I say I use the breath as a center I would like to note that it is part of the spectrum of perception within perception. I can note; breath, heart beat, smell, taste, touch, sight and sound but I view it all as one undivided perception spectrum where focus is what creates direction.
One incredible meditation phase was when I had focus on the heart in a rain forest, it was like there where other energy centers that merged in to the heart and I lost sense of the rest of my body, entering an ecstatic white light that felt like an never ending cosmic orgasm. I would guess that was what is refereed to as the bliss field...
Another incredible meditation phase was when I was fire dancing on a beach in intense present slow motion. Suddenly it was like I put my perception in one place, continued to move and left another in a second place, after the third place it was like my energy had formed a pyramid and I found my self looking up at the sky that was full of stars, my focus landed on a individual star and there was an explosion like sensation as everything apart from that star went totally black. Time stopped... I was one with the star for what felt like an eternity and then suddenly as unexpected as the timeless connection had initiated I was back in time... When I looked down on my body after coming back I could see my clear colorful light body within the layer of my physical body... It was all so beautiful...
I think it is important to note that no matter how beautiful or blissful a phase of meditation is, attachment to a phase will hinder new fresh phases from entering our experience. It can always deepen, it can always expand, meditation is infinite in nature...
