Re: [BardonPraxis] Step 2 - "feeling concentration"

[mark towse <bigimpact2003@...>]

Hi Newbie,
 
If your having your bath / shower with very cold water everyday a'la step 1, 
focus on that experience as its a completely immersive cold experience and very 
easy to bring back to your conscious awareness. The immersiveness ofthis cold 
experience with your entire body should enable you to more easily single parts 
out.

If I understand the example of "smelling the rose" correctly, and if 
I apply it to *cold*, e.g.: 

a) I start with holding something cold in my hands, or I go outside.
b) I determine the kinesthetic components of what I'm feeling 
c) I connect to their essential meaning, and then get rid of the 
components themselves.
d) then I actually *run my meditation on the essential meaning of 
cold* afterwards.

Is this correct ? 
Is this the same as *feeling the cold*, as Bardon 
prescribes ? 'cause he said "here is the object is to call into 
being the *feeling* of coldness ...etc." ? I understand using 
essential meaning makes sense because the exercise addresses the 
mental level and not the sensations of the astral body, but I'm not 
entirely sure :-)

Many thanks.

-The Newbie who's gonna go out to the cold :-)
