Recently, when I am reciting the Om while taking in a breath, I noticed that the Om recitation that I do mentally would be of irregular length and duration. I may be reciting the Om when I just breathed in, when I am breathing in half way or when the wind have already reached the navel just about to enter the central channel. The Om recitation can be long or short in length.
The Ah recitation can be a long Ahhhhhh or a short Ah.
I personally feel that the Ah should be a short Ah but my mind keeps following the breath instead of focusing on the flame at the navel therefore causing the Ah to be long. If the mind is transfixed onto the flame, one will have more awareness and mindfulness and the Ah will be short.
The vajra recitation practice is slowly being integrated into my life and I am getting better at it.
I just need to remind myself to constantly habituate my thoughts on the flame and recite the syllables at the right time. I have been experiencing heat (not the blissful heat of tummo) arising more frequently. I maybe able to summon this non-blissful heat sometimes to warm myself up temporarily.
