Keyword_search: open, spacious, interconnectedness, calm, peaceful, samadhi, contemplation Question_content: Questioner: I find that the progression that you've taken us through has allowed me, at this point, to allow my body to be very open, and spacious, and I can feel the interconnectedness with everything at this point. That’s where I am. I'm grateful that you've gone the way you have because you've been able…you’ve allowed me to mature in the practice. Larry: Okay, now that… now tonight will be an interesting challenge for you because we're going to take it away. Yeah. Not finally. And actually, there's a way in which you can use it, at the beginning of a sitting, because it has a calming effect, I gather. Questioner: Very calm, very peaceful, very open. Larry: Right. Good. Now you're laying the foundation for an even deeper calm, when we're going to move into high gear now with samadhi, in the fourth, that's what happens. The fourth contemplation is specifically a samadhi practice, but it's drawing upon what we've learned, and it's not like we throw this away. It's not this is kindergarten, now we've gone to the fourth grade. You can use this right to the end of your life, looking at the long breath and the short breath. And I'll suggest one way that, let's say you can work, and that you can work, so that you can play around with it still. But you would be wise to not make it your main practice right now. For the reasons that you mentioned. And if that changes, then you can. End_time: 00:29:00
