Month 10
Routine: six days a week, 30 minutes of tremoring and 20 minutes for integration (lying down on a mat). This month, I resumed standing tremoring, alongside brief daily power releases (30 to 60 seconds each).
Trauma, Tension, Energy & Pleasure: Recently, I shortened my integration time, which had been my primary focus over the past months, due to reaching a plateau in energy flow and pleasantness, and also because my seated meditation practice has also progressed. Key observations this month: (1) Tremors take longer to ignite, often preceded by fascia unwinding and targeted contractions before tremoring fully begins. (2) Standing tremors often initiate with contractions in the chest or shoulders, followed by my body attempting to release these tensions through familiar Tai Chi-like circling motions. Tremors sometimes arise; at other times, they don’t. (3) Neck and head rolls are showing up more, likely due to the standing position.
Meditation: Seated meditation has grown deeper, with my breath becoming thin, which I attribute to a more relaxed diaphragm. However, my breathing isn’t as developed as I would like yet. Through trial and error, I found that my psoas isn’t fully engaged in the breathing process, so I dedicate part of each session to working on this. The key is to focus on “pulling” downward from the sacral area. I’m beginning to understand the connection between Taoist reverse breathing and Kundalini. There’s warmth in the area, though no noticeable pleasure yet.
There's nothing here!
