Phase 6 35

If vibration or tingling is felt in some other part of the body, for instance the whole of the forehead, the arms or even the whole body, do not pay any attention to it. Just remain aware of the vibration (or density, or pressure...) between the eyebrows.
Continue this phase for about 10 minutes, building up the vibration between the eyebrows by connecting it with the throat friction.
Remember, no imagination, no visualisation. Just flow with what comes.

Phase 6
Stop the throat friction.
Do not focus on the vibration any more.
Remain with your eyes closed, just aware between the eyebrows for another 10 minutes or more.
Be extremely still, feeling the energy around you. The more motionless you become, the more you can tune in.
Observe if any feeling of light or colours can be perceived between the eyebrows.

Tips, tricks and traps
• Do not concentrate or 'grasp' the area between the eyebrows,
just keep a very gentle focus in the area. Grasping would only block the process. Do not try to 'do', let things happen.
• Focussing between the eyebrows just means being aware of this area, and not directing your eyeballs as if trying to look at this area. If you were to implement such movements of the eyeballs, it would create a tension that could only disturb the natural course of the experience. So the eyeballs are not directed in any particular direction. Same throughout the book.
• A common experience, in the beginning, is to feel vibration (or pressure, density...) not only in the area between the eyebrows, but also in other parts of the forehead or the face. If this happens don't pay attention to it, just focus on the vibration between the eyebrows, connecting it with the throat friction. With practice, everything will fall into place.
• If you practise with friends, make sure you are not touching each other, in order to avoid inappropriate transfers of energy.
• If the experience becomes too intense, all you have to do is open your eyes and you will be brought back to your normal state of consciousness.
