Heat

Meditated a little before bed again. Perhaps 45 minutes or so.

Decided to try something against my recent problems with cold. Lungs and throat seem to be the most sensitive. Focused on the inner surface of the lungs, visualizing it being hot, almost burning. Visualized the heat of a hot sauna, the heat of glowing pieces of wood, the heat of a bonfire against the skin, the heat of being between 2 bonfires, etc.

This increased the heat a little. Couldn't keep it up for very long, though (perhaps an hour).

Although this usually tests my patience, I decided to try a partial white skeleton meditation session. Just a few bones, how hard can it be? Right, after another hour of heavy focus, the central channel clicked open and only then did I feel it having any effect at all. By that time, it was pretty late already, so without starting all over again, I just focused on all of the bones in the chest glowing again. After that, visualized them dissolving and the psi spreading in the chest.

A few more moments of clarity throughout the night. Woke up tired.
