Deep Concentration Without Knowing It!!!!!!!!

Lately with the stretches I try out I find that when you stretch a certain position, you want to go further and all that but what if you didn't think about it? Forget for a moment that you want to go further and just concentrate on wanting to be loose. You're in that position and you're breathing deeply, very deeply to the point where your body starts to shut down, your heart is still beating and lungs are pumping but the feel of your body starts to just go and you're at a point where you're in a deep sleep but you're eyes are still open, you are awake but you're not aware of whats going on, all of a sudden you have your mind tell you to wake up and you're not in that same position anymore you're actually further.

I started experimenting with this and discovered that I let my mind take care of my body instead of my body taking care of itself. I'd be having a hard time in the pancake for some reason then just let my body fall asleep and deeply connect my mind to my muscles. I don't think about it I just drift off and then i'd either be touching my chin with my knee or i'd be just a few inches short of my head touching the floor in the mid position of the pancake stretch.

I have done this with other stretches too and quickly found out that i'm not in pain or straining i'm going much further then I would if I just concentrated on stretching the muscle. I wanted to share this with you guys cause its apart of who we are and what we can learn to develop the mind/muscle connection at a deeper look into what we want to achieve.
