olfactoryanon here to clean up misunderstandings
bliss works like this:
a highly functioning endocrine system makes one happy, its kinda that simple
bursting with vigor and vitality, these are potent ingredients for happiness on the physical level
now, realize this point that all those statues of the fat buddha, he's not fat
the fatness and the huge smile are cultivation signposts
so should any of you cultivate yourselves sufficiently, you will experience these side effects
as the nerves begin to be able to transition their resonant mode from yang to yin, size perception distortions take place
so e.g. you can feel really huge or really tiny
then the question becomes, how do I make this happen?
well, this primarily happens from cultivation practices gaining the level of energizing the niwan, the upper dantien, the midbrain
it is of course highly advisable to cultivate the lower dantien first,
and it is of course very advisable to complete anapanasati training to quiet things, to build up energy, after all, these inefficiencies can be treated as contributing to r in Ohm's law as applied to cultivation practices
so now that we have prerequisite out of the way, how to cultivate the upper dantien
there are many ways to do this, so I will simply give out some guidelines:
treat the upper dantien very gently - there are no muscles there to flex so it cant be juiced up in the same way as the lower dantien
the first part is simply bringing the focus of your awareness there, its where you start going once you can detect some measure of energetic flux in the lower dantien
once energetic flux can be detected in the upper dantien, treat it like it is a ball of light, gently wax and wane
these simple guidelines are sufficient to arrange the conditions
other physicality, being in good physical shape will also go a long way towards supporting this endeavor
