I am still an novice with this book. And what i feel when doing that exercise is a little marble like pressure in the back part of the brain. Or when i focus in that part of brain and listen, i hear a certain tone which can be intensified by that focus. Does that make sense to you?

Hmm, how about you try to bend your energetic finger without moving that physical finger? The feeling looks the same to me. Without physical muscle tension that energetic movement feels also more subtle or fluid.

Interesting !

When you are where seeing arises from it feels like home because you are home.

1.  Yes, continue progressing through the book, and I think just being familiar with the concept of the SLF exercise is ok.  You understand the fundamentals of it.  I still periodically practice the SLF exercise just as a way of reinforcing the basis of that concept in my mind.

2.  Let it flow and do its own thing while you move on.  You don't have to fix your attention on it.  You can move on in the book.  I've found that with good, solid practice of the 3DRB and the energy gathering that it becomes a thing with a life of its own without me having to concentrate on practicing it.  In other words, once I get really good at making it flow, it's as if I can kind of "sit back" and observe it happening. 

That tells me that I'm in a good, relaxed altered state.  I see the 3DRB and energy gathering as a way of distracting the conscious mind (the part of us who wants to be in control of everything) and allowing it to relax and let go, while also giving our subconscious a chance to take center stage.  To me, that's the benefit of this light altered state.  Even without using these exercises as a stepping board for other nonphysical exploration, it serves well as a very relaxing meditative state of being to really take the edge off of the Beta state of mind.

Thanks.  That helps to understand your terminology for the same concept.   

So its been few times that i feel a very clear and localized sensation in my brain while moving the finger or anything like an activation in my brain... Is it the good one one are looking for ? (Bruce was talking more about the feeling of anticipation whereas here i am talking about a physical sensation so i am not sure...?)
