Anyway, I'm intrigued by the technique you're describing and would like to know a bit more about it (I'm not saying I want to shave my head or anything, just that you've piqued my curiosity), is there a resource you could suggest for a bit of light research? |
"Meditation" is a familiar word, so it is as good as anything for naming. At times I have referred to it as "Soma Meditation", because it involves tuning in to the body. I once stayed an an ashram for a while. One of the people there said he had been meditating twice a day for 17 years and nothing ever happened. At one time I taught psychology in a US university. I taught this method in my classes and my students were able to use it immediately. It is as simple as what I posted above. There is no more. Most people who feel a need for meditation are living in their heads and ruminating and rehearsing.
Try not to think of a purple elephant. By returning to the body persistently, one incidentally stills the thoughts and begins to recover feeling in forgotten realms.

OK, I can try. I do not recall having read PA in the past. Rough subject matter is OK too.
