i am not consistent doing meditation. I have noticed during meditation that my mouth is producing saliva during inhaling and exhaling, as i listen to sound of the air in my nostril. since the amount of saliva is just enough to take in, i just continue taking in…one during inhalation and another during exhalation. I would like to know what is the significance or effect of this saliva to me physically or spiritually.

love to hear comments on this.

God bless

Well written post! I also like the feeling of my head at work just observing my body in silence. I have a question though. How is a simple body meditation different from chakra meditation? Or are the two of the same kind?

For me, I feel chakra meditation is a bit more deeper and harder to concentrate than merely observing sensations.

Thanks,
Navyatha.

Wow, I love this meditation. I think I will try it tomorrow. Thanks. You know I find it really helps me when I meditate just to know that as I’m meditating that my brain is rewiring and I’m making progress second by second. Thanks again.

Peace!

Meditating on the body is about going deeper within yourself. Thinking about out of body experiences while doing this practice will get in the way. Out of body experiences come and go, but body awareness can become a part of your conciousness throughout the day.

for those of you above this is the start of your out of body exit,you get tingling,then aquire paralysis because your body falls asleep so you can go out of body. some of you might feel a falling sensation,then you’re out of body. i.e. popping noises,screaming,plane noises.

thank you very much todd for this post. i have just recently (very recently) started to do a body awareness meditation. it was mentioned in a book i was reading, and i gave it a try. i felt the tingling you referred to, and i focused on spreading it throughout my body, when i felt it throughout my entire body at the same time i focused on pulling myself into it so to speak, and when i had done that i focused on letting go of my image of my physical form all together. at each step the tingling grew more intense until it was like continuous waves constantly washing over, and through me. i wanted to find more information on this type of meditation as i had only really read it mentioned in passing, and i am very happy, and grateful to have come across this post and i am excited to try this meditation more formally, and with more structure. again, thank you very much. brian.
