Visualization and Bodyscan Practices? ( any system)

[liquidsun]

Hi -

 

I have always had an affinity with practices that employ visualization and imagery combined with the felt sense.

 

A few that come to mind are the famous inner smile and the visualization of a golden,luminous liquid egg that descends down the body clearing away any tension and blockages etc. I can't remmeber the source of this but I know it had connections with Zen /Chan.

 

Can anyone point me in the way of some others?

 

Many thanks!

There is an ad that I've noticed on this site for terry dunn. 

 

Try one of his videos; I made it though maybe the first half hour of it, and had to stop; it was too intense. 

 

The idea is to take your breath and coordinate your visualizations with movements as well. 

 

In the video he speaks of a grounding technique used in tai ji; he speaks only of the lower tan`tien for grounding ( at least I think so; see above ). As I've been sitting in half lotus more; I've been grounding with my upper and middle tan`tien. Has anyone ever tried that?
