Coming in from the periphery - seed formation

Raise your arms up and outward from your sides. Feel into the surroundings. Slowly stream in from the periphery. As you bring your hands inward to waist level, the fingers also curl inward forming inner spaces or hollow with your hands (as if encircling an egg, but without tension) which you can feel from within. As you repeat the process, arrive at a deeper layer of yourself each time.

Try to keep the following in mind during the exercise:
  • When testing the surroundings in the space between the back and front
    • Do you experience a space or a surface?
    • Do you experience it with your body or with your soul?
    • Do you experience it as light-filled, warm, wide or which qualities do you experience? Is it the same every day?
  • Can you pay attention to the following when practicing:
    • The movement in the arms is now going out, turning, and returning.
    • You are in the periphery space at the beginning and make contact with it with the hands.
    • The most important part of the exercise consists of coming in and arriving.
  • What do you do with your body so that you have the feeling of bringing something along when coming in?
  • Do you manage to perceive into the inner space in your hands?
    • Do you notice that you unwittingly feel round when feeling into the hands?
    • What do you do to avoid this?
    • How does this affect your inner calm?
