In the oral tradition of practice from both Gaudapada (one of the Holy Trad.) and yogas from the tantras all seem to share at least three different types of witnessing: witnessing at the level of the ajna, the throat and heart chakra. The quality of presence at each is quite different, so they are taught for integrating different types of experience and different states of consciousness. In some of them the sense of witnessing is almost too "bright" for good sleeping yet are more suitable for waking, where the brightness is more welcome. And still others will bring presence to the dream state. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
