Deepening Exercise — Body Sensations

 

The body sensations exercise is so simple, in fact, as to prove

disillusioning. To advance in it, you have to preserve in simplicity.

Resist temptation to seek novelty, but try to seek DEPTH. You have to

practise second exercise over a long period of time. You may ask for

benefits. Don't ask. Do what you are asked to and you will discover

yourself. TRUTH is found less in words and explanations than in action

and experience. So get to work, with faith and perseverance. Close

your eyes. Repeat previous exercise of body sensations for five to ten

minutes.

 

NOW CHOOSE JUST ONE SMALL AREA OF YOUR FACE, PICK UP EVERY SENSATION.

At the beginning you may not feel. Continue previous exercise, then

enter in this area. Be aware of the type of sensations that emerge;

itching, pricking, burning, pulling, vibrating, throbbing,

numbness....... If your mind wanders, bring it patiently back to

exercise.
