451-OBE: Being Vajrayogini practising mindfulness

 

8:49am

I've been doing mindfulness all day long as a new technique.

And today night, throughout the night, I also did mindfulness

according to Satipatthana and based on this Joseph Goldstein.

And I got up pass urine, drink water, at 5 something

and back to bed and did mindfulness as well.

And then towards morning, I got an idea.

I combined Vajrayogini and mindfulness together

and I did breathing, feeling the whole body.

And breathing in, calming the whole body

breathing out, calming the whole body

and Vajrayogini combined. 

That means I imagined myself as Vajrayogini

and I also did the breathing, mindfulness.

And it worked, I was lying on my right.

And I came in and out, in and out of several dreams

and I also felt the hypnagogic state.

And then I was just coming out of one dream

where I felt I was in a room. It was a corridor, dark

and then I realized that this is a phase state.

And I will myself to clap and rub my hands.

And I managed to clap and rub my hands.

At first I was a bit too forceful

and I eased up a little bit.

And then managed to clap and rub more clearly.

I was so happy. I rubbed it and rubbed my hands

Then I bring my hands and rubbed my face

and rubbed my chest as well. And then the dream faded.

This is considered an OBE.

The important part about Joseph Goldstein's mindfulness is that

when he quoted the part from Satipatthana Sutta

where the Buddha taught:

To achieve mindfulness to a degree

just enough for bare knowledge for the continuity of mindfulness.

That means you don't have to be concerned with the content.

You just have to know that you are mindful, it's enough.

So I use that to let go of the stressful thoughts

and craving and so on for the experience of lucid dreams, OBE.

This is known as the mindfulness of the mind state.

And once the mind is calm, I let go.

I use awareness of mindfulness of the breathing

together with Vajrayogini.

Be aware of myself as Vajrayogini

and put her in my heart area.

Then just breathe and calm the body.

Breathe and be aware of the body and calm the body.

Breathing in and out, experiencing the whole body

and calm the body breathing in and out.
