Yesterday I also did an AM practice, but did not post results, it was similar to today's morning one.
I am studying the "Uddhava Gita Explained", slowly, this is a great Yogic book, one of its kind. It is an immense task, some superhuman task, it does not cease to amaze me. There is a surprise in it in every single page.
AM
Breath Infusion: I did around 30 minutes Bhastrika in different postures, standing and seated, before I concentrated on the squatting postures (the goodies). Now knowing what happens if you don't control the arising energy when it enters the head, I have been practicing to master the neck lock. The belly, small back, and anus locks are very important to send the energy up, but the neck lock is critical because it makes the difference in preventing any possible fall injury. Of course, the more you open the neck lock the greater the experience, lights, feelings, during meditation, but then care is important. It seems that as the body gets accustomed to the experience, then the yogi can control more and more the energy and the outcome.
Meditation: I meditated in 2 intervals, after the first arousal, I infused breath again till I got a second one, and meditated again. The now usual suspects were there, chakra light in 3rd eye, the starry night that dissolves.
PM
Breath Infusion: Did bursts of Bhastrika and some of the squeeze-brain technique. This latter Kriya is great, what I found is that if you elongate the inhalation a little longer than the exhalation, then you can visualize and feel the air during Kumbhaka as it diffuses into the sinuses and into the brain. This is like an instant aspirin for a headache.

Regarding Uddhava Gita which is in the 11th Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam (Bhagavata Purana), over the years I combed through hundreds of books which have some type of information about psychic and/or spiritual existence.
In terms of books from India, I have really gone though much of the ancient texts very carefully, sifting through to find spiritual clues.
Of all the books I have read, there is none which has such complete information as the Uddhava Gita. The Mahabharat does have everything as it claims but you have to go through pages and pages to get it, while in the Uddhava it is condensed. Uddhava Gita is like when you are going for your PhD. Bhagavad Gita is like when you are going for a four year degree.

This reminds me of all the books I still need to read. I have to start getting serious about reading again, I have too many books waiting for me! I must start my routine again tomorrow afternoon!

If you are familiar with the Bhagavad Gita already, I would read Michael's "Anu Gita Explained" before getting into "Uddhava Gita Explained".
In the "Anu Gita Explained" you will find many of the things you do and are interested in.
