Vase Breathing Update!

Tuesday 1:30 p.m.
                            According to The Bliss of Inner Fire, the main part of the juju for raising inner heat is to concentrate on the triangular symbol at the navel chakra. Heat is supposed to go where the mind goes. If you had sufficient mental calmness and concentration, you should be able to warm that symbol up. I was never able to do this. I was hardly able to get the symbol to appear at all.
                             Still,  I stuck with that for years, bearing in mind that the Book of the Three Inspirations by Tsongkhapa said that you shouldn't try to raise heat until the white, blue and red channels were clearly visible. Well, I couldn't do that either, but I did concentrate enough on the navel chakra symbol to get some effects, or side-effects. Mainly, increased libidinousness.
                             Then I started raising the awareness, if not the heat, up through the other chakra symbols even although I was nowhere near getting the channels in sight. I'm doing this accompanied by vase breathing. On the outbreath, you go up a chakra. The bliss experienced when you hit the mid-brain chakra site was amazing.
                              Whenever the bliss gets stronger, you feel you must be on the right track. You're heading towards ecstasy and breathlessness. You must be.
                               Then I saw the lama at the start of July and all that stopped. I stopped thinking about channels and symbols altogether. I was hard to rejig the visualisations, but things still progressed. The bliss I was getting when I dissolved everything into emptiness became more and more amazing.
                               Since then everything continues to progress. These days I don't vase breathe as much as I used to by any manner of means. I stopped doing it entirely for a wee while and now I do it sometimes. This is because the after-effects of the outbreath are very, very strong.
                                 And I have sometimes started to go back to the symbols though I'm using them far less often than I was. This is partly because the common or garden bliss is so strong sometimes you just want to let it be. The thing that was increasing and developing continues to increase and develop.
                                I'm living a wonderful life! So I am! What a fortunate creature I am, I am! What a fortunate creature I am!
