About halfway through my session my forehead began to itch. I managed to remove myself from the sensation, realising that it was only a nerve signal and not 'real', if you know what I mean.
Shortly after this my thoughts began to kick in, congratulating me on my success. For the first time I can remember, I managed to do the same with my thoughts as I had with the itch. I recognised them as separate from 'me' rather than being me myself.
This is new for me. Yes, I've read about it and know about it but have never 'felt' it before.
I am not my thoughts nor am I my sensations. I'm something else. Wow!

That is a very big moment. Good things are right around the corner. The more and more you can reside in Mahamudra. Reside in that clear sky the more and more thoughts, feelings and sensations will turn into estatic energy.
Very big wow's are right around the corner my friend. Congrats!!
