Dear Chilly NB, >> A last naïve question, if I may : so this means that instead of focusing upon a *sensation* at the *astral* level (since it contains emotions etc.), I'm focusing upon a *perception* at a *mental* level or higher ? << Yes. :) However, you will still *feel* the cold as a sensation. This is a natural by-product of focusing upon the essential meaning of 'cold'. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 24 Nov 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=arionthebardonwe
