There are 2 minds. One is the pervasive mind that controls relaxation and is a felt experience. The other is directed, intense. This second mind is located around the forebrain region. The first mind is sensed everywhere else, although it is at first felt in the lower body. However it is mind, not body. It is not located in specific body parts -- there are no body parts, there is however a generally felt experience of continuing and deepening relaxation.
Meditation on the first mind leads to an experience known as laya, the fourth state, or absorption. It is akin to being awake while being asleep. Clarity can near 100% here. There is none of what we call "intention."
The addition of the second mind brings intention, focus, and a fuller realization.
The culmination of this meditation is when the 2 minds are in complete balance.
