As you sit, stilling your mind and body, letting go of
everything that arises, a spontaneous uninterrupted awareness of
breathing will occur.
This awareness naturally expands to encompass the whole body and
every single sensation.
At this time you will feel utter stillness of the body... your
body is literally stilled, to the point of disappearing, to the
point of becoming unhindered, numb-like (for a lack of a better
words but don't take it literally).
As your power of mindfulness developes to the point of
absorption, a very pleasurable physical sensation will occur. At
first the sensation is weak... at this point do not analyze or get
mentally excited at this bliss, what is of utmost importance is
that you must let go of your sense of self, any sense of
subject-object dichotomy and just delight and immerse yourself in
that pleasurable sensation to the point that there is ONLY that
pleasurable sensation. You will notice the rapture getting more and
more intense, spreading all over your body. Your mind stabilizes on
this bliss, enters into a state of absorption and mental activities
subside.
You have stilled your mind and body.
With this as base, contemplate the nature of your experience
until clear comprehension of the nature of experience arises.
