"Once in a blue moon, I will still experience it while sitting (but without the technique)." Same for me -- very infrequently with no rhyme or reason. I saw a diagram of taste buds in the tongue somewhere that showed sections for different sensations such as sweet, bitter, sour, etc., and so I attributed the occasional sweetness to a sporadic stimulation of the sweet section... that or a bit of left over toothpaste coming unstuck from between my teeth. I fell for the "behind the uvula" fad during the "meditate 24/7" era. Crammed it back physically until the tendon on the bottom rear of my tongue split slightly (forgot the medical term). What a surprise when my tongue first went back there! Then it became fairly easy to park it there for extended periods of time. As with no light of a thousand suns, no music of the spheres beyond ordinary biological functions in a sea of mostly water and no profound primordial vibration... no manna. Just the bait of a manipulative, exploitative malignant narcissist. PS. I have to admit, though, that there were times I managed to bootstrap myself into frenetic devotional fervors and psyche myself into imagining and believing -- "knowing" -- so much of it. PSS. And just like Cynthia with her tongue, I tend to default to focusing on my breath in circumstances where my undivided attention is important. Thirty-four year habits are hard to break, even after a decade. Plus the fact that it works. But that doesn't make it my salvation. Modified by lakeshore at Tue, Oct 24, 2017, 08:40:06 |
