Dear all, Many thanks for your help. <<I recommend the Center of Stillness technique of negating the senses as a way to isolate just one sense at a time>> I'll do that. <<Both are acts or creation - just at different levels of density.>> That's what I felt. Open eyes visualisation provoked a sense of "physical tangiblity" (like the "bumps" I felt at mental/level 1) which did not occur with closed eyes. Thanks again. ...If I may: could anybody give me a hint concerning my previous call for help: "Loss of physical sense of taste and smell" ? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis/message/755 This person is really suffering from her handicap, and apart my understanding that a) senses are related to Elements and b) the astral body give its interpretations of physical sensations, I don't really know anything about how to help her. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
