Mala day 10: piti at end of each breath

 Week 2, day 3

Tested covid negative today, but still remain isolated because wife still positive (day 9).

Sat cross legged on bed to do 30 mins. In second half, I put attention on the vibration of the hum in the head and piti arose a little. Pleasant. After a few rounds like this, I no need to put attention on vibration in head, just put awareness on bud-dho and its humming undertone is enough to bring piti. Sometimes my my head shakes sideways because of the piti. 

Piti arises at end of a breath - usually - that is what I noticed. I just let piti be in the background and put attention on bud-dho and its humming. There is also some sukha in the background.

Very good sitting. This confirms piti can be brought up at will. It is now stabilizing. I just need to recite bud-dho and put awareness on the bud-dho and its hum. 

I will let piti arise spontaneously like this in future sittings to let it stabilize more, so that sukha will be more stable. No hurry.
