Slightly contract the abdominal muscles and
massage the point one inch below the navel,
by rotating the end of the middle finger
(between the index and the ring finger) in
the notch, if you can find it, or otherwise
simply one inch below the navel. Keep on for
half a minute or so and then release. Then
try to feel the vibration in the area.
Rub your hands for a few seconds, then hold
them flat, one on top of the other, parallel
to the abdomen 2 or 3 inches away from the
will centre.
Start breathing with the throat friction.
Connect it with the tingling between the
eyebrows. Build up a strong vibration in the eye for 2 or 3
minutes. Then, keeping up the throat friction, become aware of
the vibration in the will centre one inch below the navel, where
you felt the vibration after massaging. Connect the throat
friction with the will centre, to build up the vibration.
Feel the vibration in your hands, and in the will centre. The way
they are placed, the hands act as reflectors and concentrate the
vibration.
Keep on with the practice for a few minutes, reinforcing the
vibration one inch below the navel, through both the throat
friction and the reflecting action of your hands.
18.7 Eye-belly awareness
Sit in a meditation position with your eyes closed. Start breathing
with the throat friction, building up the vibration in the eye for
2 or 3 minutes. Then practise being aware of the vibration, both in
the eye and in the will centre. Maintain your throat friction to
enhance the vibration and to connect the two centres.
In the beginning, some kind of link can be established between the
two centres. As you proceed further, try to anchor the eye into
the centre in the belly. Remember: no imagination, no
visualisation. The experience is quite tangible, as if your eye was
being grounded, rooted in the vibration of the will centre.
Continue for a few minutes, building up the vibration in the two
centres and connecting them.
Then open your eyes. Start looking at some objects around you, one
after another. Remain very motionless, aware both in the eye and
