Re: [BardonPraxis] Question about VOM

["Rawn Clark" <rawnclark@...>]

Dear Nenad,

>> So, in that state there are no actual thoughts rising, but
there is a constant intent to stop them if they come about. Is this
also vacancy of mind? <<

Yes, it is. In fact, this is all that is *required* in Step One since
it's assumed that the student will continue to deepen their state of VOM
as they progress through the future Steps.

>> What kind of VOM should I pursue? The first or the second one? <<

You should *pursue* the first, deeper state of VOM that you described,
but the second kind is *NOT* a failure. :)

>> In the process of this exercise I always feel a tingling sensation
all over my body. Is that ok, or I have to stop that also? <<

The sensation itself would not be the issue here. The issue is always,
"does this distract from my VOM?" If it does distract, then you will
need to learn how to ignore it.

My best to you,
:) Rawn Clark
