I tried to focus on centering, and I think I see what you mean. It's seems it's more about grounding one's self to find one's center. I do this before I continue on with my meditation. As I move on, and pass through the waviness of letting go, then I feel myself opening up and expanding.

hey! I love the exercises
DANKE!
I've been meditating, I'd say on and off for quite some years though, and love it. I do relaxation exercises and the like to help myself sleep, and I often use self-hypnosis to encourage good health and postive thinking. Im fact, I improved my health by hypnotizing myself just last night. I have a bad cold and I felt much better today, especially after telling myself that I would drink a lof of fluids and get as much nutrition as possible. It really does work!
But I love mixing it up, so keep the exercises coming.

Sannhet, the kind of meditation you are doing is sort of the opposite
direction from this one. This that I am demonstrating is one that brings you closer into your body, to improve and enhance your communication with it, and increase your conscious awarness of Universal Consciousness.
There have been recent science-based reports of the effect of prayer/contemplation/meditation on brain activity, that indicate a quieting of activity in the area that, when busy, gives us our sense of time and of individuality. That may indeed give you that feeling of being closer to God... But it doesn't bring God-awareness closer in to your body, if you see what I mean. That's the goal of this kind of meditation: to increase that kind of one-ness. Sometimes the way out is in.

I find that my space seems to grow as I grow closer to "God". During meditation, sometimes it's as though I have no space, and that everything is a part of me, and I of everything.

Interesting, pappy, when I was driving we were always encouraged to keep our eyes a mile or two down the road to see what was coming at us.
I really like the info in this blog, Ciel, the colors are hard to read though.

Thanks for that piece of the Big Picture, Pappy!
Of course, if not bound to time & space, we can discern much further... and if nearsighted, considerably less than 600 yards!

Astronomers talk about an artificial horizon, Ciel
That we all carry in our head. It's about six hundred yards out and is an average distance of the limit of our line of sight on the ground. The 'thousand yard stare' is a variation on that limit of perception. It is about the maximum distance a soldier can discern a human coming toward him with possibly hostile intent.
