Hello! Once i saw the course for Dream yoga and read a little about it in the introduction thread, i thought it would be a good idea to pick it up. I'm doing it because if i can improve my awareness, then that should have a positive effect on..well everything. It should also help All day awareness a lot which i'm trying to practice to aid in lucid dreaming.
Basic Skills: Lesson #1
Version 1: Listening to a Noisy World: I went outside to do this. I closed my eyes and focused. I could hear multiple birds , a fountain, the sound of cars passing on a road nearby, voice of children sometimes , something that sounded like construction work , the occasional breeze that moves the tree leaves , some bugs flying around , and sometimes my brother moving around up at the barn.
I started out focusing on each sound separately but then moved on to try level 2. Trying to focus on all the sounds at once was a little hard to do, i found it a little easier to not actively try to collect the sounds but rather just let them come to me and sort of hold them. Either way, this was a little more challenging.
Version 2: Feel an Intense World: I started out focusing on the clothes i had on, trying to feel where my socks connected and ended and then doing the same with my shirt, pants and etc. After doing that, i then focused on any sensations like hunger and heat. While still trying to feel my clothes, i moved on and started from my toes and eventually worked my way up to my head, trying to feel every small detail. I then tried to hold all of those feelings as much as i could which was harder to do. I haven't tried opening my eyes yet, i suppose i'll do that when i practice today. ( this is all what i experienced from yesterdays practice).
I plan to practice lesson 1 for about Two weeks. After doing that, i will move on to basic skills lesson 2 and practice that for two weeks while also practicing lesson 1 with it each day as well. I will try to keep up with posting progress.
