The mind may or may not assume a particular mantra or particular state. It may also begin hearing and being absorbed in naad inner sound or in jyoti inner light. For instance, in a recent session of meditation, just after breath infusion, the psyche, the top part of the subtle body, was a room space in which a light filled it but with about four other lights present, and with the attention moving from one light to the other in like four corners of the space. That was spontaneous. It had a texture of supernatural bliss.

Again and again, I ask the student-yogis to keep a journal of the experiences. Then at some later date, these can be reviewed. Even as great as an ascetic as Buddha somehow noted his experiences in meditation.

I never heard that he wrote it down or kept notes but he did describe it to his principal disciples, who described it later and then it was written. If one has the memory like Buddha, then maybe there is no need to make written notations, except that by not leaving notes one indirectly deprives others from benefiting from one’s experience.

When during breath infusion, one drifts into a samadhi, one should focus into it and be aware of it, as to its texture, location, and duration. As soon as it expires or as soon as one finds the self to be removed from the plane of the samadhi, one should resume the breath infusion.

This is part of the reason why breath infusion and in fact inSelf Yoga™ is an individual practice. It is due to the fact that one must tally what happens in the individual psyche. Some other occurrence may be experienced by another yogi, even if he does the same posture and infusion rate at the same time as another student.
