Thread: SenrPF's Workbook

What exactly does the nighttime concentration practice include?

The procedure is, I think, rather simple:

* I lie on the bed,
* I close my eyes,
* The environment should be calm and without distractions,
* I focus on the back of my head just where the head touches the pillow,
* I try not to think about nothing (the more inner silence I achieve, the better),
* If my mind begins to disperse I return to concentration and inner silence.

At some moments hypnagogic images appear and I try to observe them without getting involved. I maintain this procedure until I am tired and fall asleep or, if it lasts a long time, then I interrupt the process and try to fall asleep.

I think it's important that I just keep that focus without having expectations about what might happen.

As I have mentioned in other posts, it usually works in the first REM cycle and lately when I manage to do this procedure upon waking up during the night it also produces significant results.

The main problem is that I don't always get the concentration to be correct and especially when I wake up during the night since I easily fall asleep and I don't perform the technique...

I hope this explanation is understandable... (Sorry for my Google Translate English!)
