Hi John. I remember reading in your book that one's personal boundaries would strengthen as feelings were integrated and accepted(?) I'm interested in why this would occur and if there is a theoretical background to it. Or was it based on experience and observation? Wondering if you could elaborate a little perhaps? Thanks.

Hi,

I've used the free sample CD 1 about four times now. The first time resulted in a rather euphoric feeling that lasted about an hour afterwards. Incredibly relaxing and anxiety-alleviating. Subsequent sessions were less effective (although I had less commitment to the process and spoken instructions).

My fourth session has been the best bar the first and my question concerns a consistent sensation I get of heat, pins-and-needles, numbness and such in different body areas (always limbs and extremities).

Is this a feature of a lowering heartbeat, or an awareness of my body-mind structure (I have a rather schizoid body structure and elements of schizoid personality type)? Or something else? (Tonight I also had a heightened tactile sensation that I've never known before: a sense of the clothes against my skin).

I also meditate (vipasanna) but have not connected with my body to this extent.
