Early in the morning at around 8 am, after breakfast. Went into bed and lay down. Just relax and let go and smile gently. I could feel mild piti in head. Then I let go and tried to sleep..
I sat cross legged on bed, with fan blowing on face. Time: 12 noon. Relax and let go, smiled. And I could immediately get the piti in the head. I then sat upright and straightened my spine and the piti shot down via the spine to the hips and both legs. Both legs started flapping like a bird. My breath became gasping, huff-puff-huff...
I take a deep breath and exhale gently and the piti calmned down. If I straightened the spine upright, the piti again shot down via the spine to the hips and legs and legs started flapping again. And again I take a deep breath and exhaled and the piti calmed down again.
And so I practised bringing in on and calming it down repeatedly in this way until the timer went off at 45 mins.
I also noticed if I take deep breaths and bring down the piti repeatedly in succession, the piti reduced to almost nothing but there is still some pleasure (sukha). And there is also confidence. Could this be Jhana 2? Confidence that I am now able to enter Jhana 1 at will and maybe even touched Jhana 2.
