Hi

I have done 2 more sittings since yesterday. I have finally realased how the progress works... Until yesterday i thoght that if i've been through one stage one time in life i didn't have to look for it again. So i wasnt looking for Mind and Body or Cause and effect because i related these stages to something i had been through long ago.
In the first sitting, yesterday night, I noted the Mind and Body again with it pleasantness, then cause and effect and then started the itchy sensations arrising on different locations on the body. I've been sitting through itch before so i just waited them out as i knew they would disapear. Then they kept coming stronger and i asked my self what they want to tell me, so i started to concentrate more on the acutal sensation than just noting it. I saw that the sensation is not only temporal in the fact that it comes and goes. It was also constantly changing while being there. The degree of intensisty of itchyness was changing from the arrising of the sensation til the end of it. Then there were a moment when i lost concentration, thinking about this. Then there were concentration and i noted yet another fast mind and body and Cause and effect following a lower back pain. I also noted the changing intensity of that pain and then came headache and light nausea that also was changing.
then i was saved by the bell. (end of session)
I woke up this morning noting on automatic. I was still newly awake after a night sleep not very sharp, but i was noting sensations. Then happend something hard to explain. It was like consciousness was moving fast forward through a very pleasant energy. Or like a pleasant energy was hitting me fast. It was lasting just a couple or a few seconds and had a much more immaterial feel to it than the energy in the physical head in Mind and Body. I tried to experience it again and i thought that if i sit up and meditate it's more likley to reoccure.
2nd sitting.
I was fully awake now and couldn't concentrate, i was more thinking of the experience i had in bed and i thought that if that was Arrising and Passing away, it already had passed away and wasn't likley to occure again in this sitting, so i started to develope more concentration. It was hard to concentrate, i noted some itchy feelings but they were not intense nor lasting long. I noted a strange feeling in the middle of the chest, a wound-like feeling, not as strong as an actual opend wound. It disapered after a minute or less. Then I noticed white shimmer before my closed eyes. It was like tiny white particals making up a cloud that was moving around before me. They weren't very bright, they didn't blend me. They came with a nice less heavy experience of consciousness. I felt that my eyeballs wasn't steady so i opened my eyes and tried to fix my eyes in a crossed position, then the cloud of shimmer was gone and didn't come back. The rest of that meditation session was just a pretty unconentrated history with some itch aswell. (end of session)
So i suppose that the experience in bed was Arrising and Passing away?
What was the little shimmer?
Do every sitting start with Mind and Body or is it just when you haven't meditated in a while?
What can i expect now?
Best Wishes
from a very thankful
