[7c] “Become aware of your astral body as a whole...
Become aware of your physical body as a whole...
The nature of your physical body is gravity, the nature of your
astral body is levity or anti-gravity...
Become aware of the gravity of your physical body... Become
aware of the weight of your body on the mattress... All that you
can feel that's heavy pertains to your physical body...
Now, look inside yourself for what is lightness... Look for the
levity principle, the force that moves upwards... Become aware of
the force that pushes upwards, the exact opposite of the principle
of gravity... It is there, inside you. It's a question of tuning into
it... Tune into the force that moves upwards... Let it pervade the
whole body... Let it lift everything upwards [...]
Now go back into the perception of the gravity... Look for the
heavy principle [...]
Then awareness of the anti-gravity principle again.. Awareness of
the force that moves upwards [...]
[7d] “Awareness of seeingness, the fact of seeing...
Practise seeing your body from above...
Become aware of the seeingness and tune in with the image of
your body, seen from above [...]
Reconnecting
“Start listening to the sounds outside [...]
Become aware of your body again... Go back into the body...
Take a few long, long inhalations [...]
Move your hands a little... and your feet...
Stretch your body...
Roll on your side.. and open your eyes.”
[If you are practising in bed just before sleeping, you do not have
to go through this last set of instructions. Instead of reconnecting
with waking consciousness, just roll over on your side and fall
asleep.]
