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.
