Morning Session:
Sat briefly after waking—simple, intentional sit focused on setting the tone for the day rather than deep stillness. Awareness light, breath easy. Didn’t feel drawn to remain seated for long; the session was more about clarity of direction than duration.
Evening Session:
After dinner, settled at home. Practiced body scanning while placing awareness at the point between the eyes instead of through the physical eyes.
- Experienced two brief tipping sensations to the right before regaining center.
- Recognized these as residual reactive nerves—old startle responses meeting deeper calm.
- Once balance returned, perception became lighter and more expansive.
Reflections:
- Awareness itself continues to prove curative; control and release can coexist without conflict.
- The threshold moments—when the body tries to jolt awake—are simply markers of progress.
- Tonight’s calm curiosity replaced yesterday’s intensity; no compulsion, just steady inquiry.
- Integration matters as much as practice; sitting shorter but clearer is still meaningful.
After-effects: Grounded alertness, clarity, quiet curiosity toward further discovery.
