Jhana 1 and 2: Nimitta at below eye-level

 Sat on floor facing balcony. No wind, so I used a fan blowing at me. Took 3 refuge and 5 precept. At the end of the precept, piti started automatically. I abide in the piti which is in the head.

Whenever I straightened the spine, the piti went to the legs. If I tilt my head up, it went to the base of the head - quite nice. Like massaging the back of my head - tingly.

Regularly calmned the piti by taking deep breath and exhaling. After awhile the nimitta appeared. It was like a concentric circle, sometimes gray sometimes white. At slightly below eye level - not at 3rd eye. I just focused on it. Quite concentrated mind. The nimitta fades, but, I don't mind. If it is there, I will focus on it, if not there, I just abided in the piti.

45 mins sit.
