I have been doing this exercise informally at times. This morning as I was waking I decided to do it. Usually, Expanding seems to start out enlarging some object of experience….but this morning I seemed to Expand beyond that preconception that things had to “get bigger.” It seemed that whatever was arising as some outcome of Expanding was “fed back into Expanding…that is, if I settled on some experience that was “proof” of the expanding, I expanded upon that. Some mental play came in wondering if the Expanding–Condensing dynamic was cycling of Yin-Yang energy–At first Expanding seemed to be on Yang side, then flipping to Yin during Condensing, but reversed too, where Condensing felt Yang-like, and Expanding felt more Yin. I also played with Expanding the sense of time…in terms of Expanding my sense of situatedness within time.
