To start straighten the spine and relax the body. If you do all the rules, you can take a previously described seven-position . If you're in a place where to adopt such a posture is not possible, simply straighten your spine and let the rest of the body to relax comfortably. It does not matter, open or closed your eyes during practice. In fact, some people believe that it is easier to keep your eyes closed. (Of course, if you are driving or walking down the street, then I would strongly recommend that you do not close your eyes!)
Let your mind dwell for a moment just as it really is ...
Now slowly move your attention to the forehead ...
Perhaps you feel at this point slight tingling or a sensation of heat. You might even appear itching or pressure. Whatever you feel, just allow yourself to realize it for a minute or two ...
Just heed this ...
Just send your attention to this feeling ...
Then leave your care and allow the mind to stay so, as it is. If your eyes were closed, now they can open.
Once you have devoted little time monitoring of sensations in certain parts of the body, you can extend this technique, gently holding the attention of the entire body. Sometimes I call this advanced approach to bodily sensations, "the practice of scanning, because it reminds me of how I was lying in one of those machines that scan your entire body. Again, if you practice all the rules, start with the adoption of seven-Poses . If you practice informally, simply straighten your spine and let the rest of the body comfortably and naturally relaxing. In any case, you can keep your eyes open or closed, as you prefer.
At first, just let the mind dwell for a few seconds in bezobektnoy samadhi. Then gently shift your attention to any sensations that you feel in the forehead. Allow your mind to watch these feelings, just be aware of, and nothing more. Gradual transfer of the focus below, watching the sensations that occur on your face, your neck, shoulders, arms, and so on. Just watch. Do not want to block something or change what you watch. Just keep your body and mind relaxed and calm at the same time recognizing the feeling. A few minutes later let your mind rest. Then again, return to monitor their feelings, alternating observation and relaxation of mind during the entire time of practice.
Most of the sensations occur on some physical basis. The body is something concerns, such as the chair on which you sit, sex, pens, clothing, animal or human. Such contact gives rise to a distinct physical sensation. In Buddhist terminology, the sensations that arise from direct physical contact, called the gross physical sensations. However, developing a more in-depth attention in relation to what we feel, we become aware of feelings, not necessarily related to the touch, which are called "subtle physical sensations."
First began to engage in this kind of practice zhine, I discovered that if you try to avoid this or that, it feels stronger. But when I learned to just look at it, the inconvenience that I felt was tolerable. Since I was a curious child, I certainly wanted to know why there was such a change. And, just to watch the process for a while, I realized that by simply allowing themselves to observe the sensation was actively involved in what happened at that moment. I saw that part of my mind resists soreness, and another piece of mind prompts me to look at it objectively. When I looked at the same time on both of the conflicting motives, I opened a picture of the mind involved in the process of avoidance and acceptance, and the process of monitoring the work of the mind is more interesting than avoidance and acceptance. A simple observation of the work of the mind was exciting in itself. This, in my opinion, the most practical explanation of clarity, I can give: the ability to see the simultaneous operation of the mind on many levels.
