Thanks Wendy for your response.

I had an experience where my consciousness was floating about 2 feet above and about 8 inches behind my head, I still had consciousness in my physical head too, although it was split between the two spots. Maybe a part of the astral body dislodged? Any thoughts on that?

I think it happened because I was always watching my mind in my head, so maybe I wasn’t grounding enough like you suggested with the lower dan tien.

I have done a little bit of lower dan tien training but was discouraged because it seems to dissipate after I’ve stored it there. I was reading a blog by one of Wang Li Ping’s (Opening the Dragon Gate: The Making of a Modern Taoist Wizard book)trainers that men tend to have dissipation problems where women don’t because they have a womb that naturally collects it. Any tips on storing energy in the lower dan tien for men?

I haven’t found that mindfulness training has been an escape from the daily aches and pains of life. Most of my mindfulness training is inspired by Eckhart Tolle not Buddhism. What it has done has made me more aware of my reactions to life and to approach it with more clarity and rationality.

I’ve also found that just watching my thoughts causes unexpressed or stuck emotional energy to dislodge. It’s a way to clean the emotional body of stuck thoughts or traumatic events that are still stuck in the body.
