I've been trying the feeling exercise with my other senses (Visual/Hearing/Taste/Smell), and realize that the essential ingredient is remaining in the present moment. In the present moment awareness expands.
Also since you are directing love to your now experience and your self, that love/awareness expands.
Am I missing something? This seems to be what the Kabbalists work towards... Connecting with essence. Is it still a trance?
When I do this often, my luck increases. Even more consistant luck than when doing the SMC Alpha meditations.
Does anyone think the feeling exercise can "Cast away all anchors"?
How do you know when you've mastered the exercise?
Somehow I get the gut feeling that Paul Scheele is a master at opening loops in a subtle way. 
Excellent Course!!! It sure has me thinking and digging in deeper.
Peace Love and JOY
