Another new experience this morning during sitting and harvesting. I think I finally succeeded in diffusing my vision (seeing everything near and far and focusing on nothing) and at the same time for a short while time seemed to stand still. You know how most of the time you work at not following your thoughts, well my mind seemed to totally empty out for a very short while. No thoughts, just being. That is until I thought about how interesting it was. Then it was gone and back to watching thoghts go by.
One other thing I mentioned to Sifu via email, that I should share here as others are probably experiencing the same thing. As I'm moved through the training, I've noticed that my arms/hands and legs/feet have had (and still do) the electric feeling that someone else on the blogs mentioned recently. Also, over time my arms/hand and legs/feet are feeling full or thick and feeling heavy. Other feelings include yin energy moving to the dan tien and from there to the ming men and Yang energy out from there to the arms/legs and hands/feet. I seem to get yin energy easily. I have to really make sure I'm expanding the lower back and suspending the crown. For me, my lower back expansion seems to require more than just rounding the lower back. I get better Yang energy when I put a gentle stretch on the lower back along with the rounding.
