I can write something if asked and since you are interested - provided I find a nice time and state to do so (sadly this whole week I came home already tired and ready for food and sleep. this is a very busy time for me, so... I did not come to the site to write my experiences, I just check in on it to see all goes well admin wise etc). You, on the other hand started a thread in which you obviously want to share your personal experience. it is a bit sad you got to wait for me to do so
hehe
The experience I am most inclined to share at the moment has to do with the senses too . I do not know why you think you can command what I am inclined to share, I shall share what I find is good to share. Seems logical enough . What has most luminosity at this time is best for sharing I find.
Also do not think people want to copy you, that is a bad approach when you are writing/sharing stuff. imo
I have learned different things about water, it is hard to know what you are aiming for, plus you probably have something in mind that might be new for me, I'd like that..
There is difference with gazing at running water, fast streams vs slower running streams too, and water of a calm lake. There is a difference gazing at the surface and gazing in the deeper parts of water. Gazing goes often inward, that is what i do most. Inward-outward. I learn more about myself and about the specific intents I set than about water itself, but doing these types of exercises also leads to a little experience with water as a kind of bonus . I do not have much experience with gazing at ocean or sea water, as I live inland. But I have had powerful experiences with seas, not of a gazing nature. The awareness of the sea is marvelous .
I do not know much about fire..
I know a bit about healing and how it is approached differently when done with water and when done with fire.
Now to what I would want to share.. it is about the wind and water. I had a (for me) mindblowing realization that water and wind are so similar they are as if the same - for a while they were like one during my experience, almost undistinguishable. I realized that in many respects they act the same and have similar effects. On the awareness. Fast running water and a stronger wind are very sharp (for lack of a better description) and can tire one (make our awareness blunt) if exposed too long, but can be refreshing in the beginning, help focus. but what was most fascinating for me was that the wind and water feel the same on the skin. I realized this one nice evening in the sea. the wind was blowing and the sea has its natural flow/current. And I was just enjoying myself and at some point it dawned on me, since I was experiencing and not in my head but in my body. being in water I did the same as i do in the wind (similar gestures enjoying the element's flow). And being above water and under water felt the same on my skin. Under the water the movement of the water felt like wind on my skin. It was just the perfect temperature to highlight this comparison.
Then I pondered this a bit and realized that of course fire has similar consistency.. it also feels in that way on the skin, it is just that it gets too hot if it touches the skin too long.. but for soft touching of say a candle flame it is very much similar. Now, I do not think I discovered something no one else before me did or whatever , that is also not the point. It was new to me and everything that one discovers for themselves is special .
