Perspectives of progress

Attention outward to attention inward.

Inward attention on thoughts and thoughts about thoughts - meta-thoughts.

Attention on feelings without thoughts.

Attention on just being or witnessing.

Reduced energy use of the brain.

Peace at various levels - from a pause in turbulence to an end of turbulence of various kinds.

Peace in the five sheaths - physical and energetic sheaths - smooth, effortless breathing, no aches or pains, relaxation, systems, muscles and nerves working as expected; mental; understanding/wisdom; bliss/being/witnessing sheath.

Immanence to transcendence - a humongous shift.

From transcendence to immanence at will.

Tamasic to rajasic to sāttvic.

Cycles of tamas - rajas - sattva dominance, across levels or points.

Granthi to chakra to padma - static knot to dynamic whirlpool to virtually non-existent open lotus.

Cycles of sameepya - salokya - saroopya - sayoojya across levels or points.

Turbulence after peace. Subtler peace after turbulence.

Increased sensitivity from spiritual practice creating sharper and deeper reactions to situations. Then, accepting the situations and learning to relax, consciously avoiding reactions.

Understanding, after an event. Understanding, during an event. Understanding, even before an event. Ties into reactivity and sensitivity.
