・Pass energy (prana) through the front of the face, especially around the eyebrows.
・Pass energy (prana) through the inside of the eyes. Until recently, it was flowing around the eyes, but not much was flowing inside the eyes. There is a difference between the left and right sides, with the right side being in a better state.
・Relax the back of the head again. Especially, the lower half feels loosened and relaxed. The upper half is still much tighter compared to the lower half.
・Further release the tension in the center of the head.
・In the upper, lower, and center of the head, there is a sensation as if the head is splitting vertically. Along with a circular or linear sensation connecting the forehead, the center of the back of the head, and the upper part of both ears, the head begins to split vertically. It's like wearing a hat, and while a hat is on the surface of the head, it feels like the circular area passing through the center of the head, starting from the edge of the hat, is splitting vertically. However, this is only a slight change, but it feels like the head is starting to split vertically.
・Pass energy (prana, in yoga terms) through the front (larynx) and back (back side) of the throat. As the energy intensifies, there is a sensation of something snapping or loosening, whether it's bone or muscle. Furthermore, there is a feeling that the neck is becoming slightly thicker in various places. There is a sensation of pressure being applied from the inside and expanding outwards.
・There is a sensation of pressure and swelling in the back of the neck, especially the lower part connecting to the shoulders. The back part of the throat (Vishuddha) is weaker than the front, so it is a key area to focus on.
・Strengthening of the heart (Anahata in yoga).
・Subtle vibrations in the perineum (Mula-dara chakra in yoga). An unexpected, clearly noticeable pulse.
・The aura is penetrating into the fingers (this is an area where I am naturally weak, so it is still a major area to focus on).
・The consciousness is penetrating into the crown (Sahasrara). A buzzing sensation like static electricity (like a ghost antenna).
・The energy (prana) is penetrating into the area around the chin.

Looking at it this way, it becomes clear how many challenges there were in the past, and how many challenges there still are. When I look back at myself, who seemed to have made some progress in meditation, I realize that it was still just the beginning.

In the past, I think I valued emotional aspects, tranquility, and peace. Recently, such tranquility has become commonplace, and consciousness has penetrated, and even distractions don't bother me as much. Recently, I have a better understanding of the feeling that what I thought were distractions are actually residual thoughts. When I recognize them as residual thoughts, I am not swayed by them. Recently, I have been focusing on addressing energetic challenges.
