Brahmaloka Preparation
To go to a higher dimension, one should adopt the habits of the people who live there. One must assume these habits while using the physical form or influence the subtle body hereafter to develop compatibility to the inhabitants of the higher location.
If during the life of the physical body, one does not experience higher dimensions and still one believes or is convinced that one will transit to a higher place, it is to be understood that one is a wishful-thinker. And that is fine.
The sun for example is a place which has a civilization of living beings but their forms are made of light energy rather than cool exhausted wasted light energy in the form of gross matter like our current bodies. If someone one could adopt the subtle body to light frequency and complete rid it of the tendency for appropriating gross substances, then one could transit to the sun and live there happily.
In some higher dimensions no one eats food for nourishment as we do. The bodies there continually absorb energy from the environment through the pores of the subtle skin. One feels satisfied always and has no tendency to eat anything. In Brahmaloka for instance it is like that, where there is no sense that one must eat anything for sustenance. The thoughts of it does not arise in the mind, because there is no consumption of food stuffs, extraction of energy and expulsion of liquid and solid waste from the body.
One can prepare for this kind of life hereafter, by doing pranayama and drawing up the abdomen. This is known as agnisara practice. When the abdomen is drawn up in the subtle body, it will condense into a compact mass, which by using breath-infusion will become compacted in one itself until it burst in an explosion and is demolished. This is one value of an astute efficient pranayama breath-infusion practice.
Can this be done in any other way?

Given the contributions it can make to the path of the yogi, agnisara practice is of a particular importance. However, this practice already requires a certain level of achievement on the path irrespective of which is it a good and impactful addition to one’s routines when doing a thorough hatha yoga practice session. Its successful practice has even other benefits in addition to those already mentioned in the post, as that implies a level of purification leading to other aspects of advanced practice.
It is not likely that any ordinary human can contract, and galvanize their entire digestive system, including stomach intestines and other organs simply based on will or imagination; such can however be achieved through muscular efforts. Eventually such bodily movements will even promote cleansing of the digestive system, by increasing the rate of elimination.
In addition if sustained, that will also prevent further stagnation of lingering wasted elements incubating negative energy in the entrails. Accumulation of undesirable elements in time implies a further loosening of control over the excretory system throughout, as well as development of incapacitation in the form of illness in the organs of the physical system.
We accept that there is a super-integration of the physical and subtle bodies. Physical galvanizing of the belly from forced churning, turning and twisting of the digestive system results in impacting the subtle body at the particular location in question from the post. Therefore there will take place elimination, cleansing and over time purification of the subtle system.
In order for a certain level of success to take place, the yogi would have come to a level of understanding of the conditions that favor the practice of agnisara. It is important that the stomach not be condensed with much solid foods, or overfilled even with fluids for that matter. Because as one is engaged in these actions, it is necessary to be able to connect internally with the movements and that is contravened on a full stomach. Therefore agnisara is typically recommended in the morning hours prior to filling up.
The deeper the connection with the movements, the better the internationalization taking place, with further intuition as to how much and which movements, as well the complementary emptying and filling breath-full gulps of prana energy to apply. And, of course ideally there would be the attainment of application of attention energy to the corresponding section of the subtle body.
Successful application of agnisara practice has great implications. When one is able to churn and cleanse the two digestive systems this also means that the breath energy is going at least past the upper sections of (both) lungs; so the benefits run deeper in that descending order and effects can be quickly felt in the hatha yoga session, and even in the physical elimination process.
The results of these eliminations, cleansing and purification, surely lead to alleviating the digestive system, decreasing some encroached bad tendencies overtime. From this platform and expertise in the different components of this practice begins to take place reformation of the nutritional systems. It is a specific and precise methodology based on practice and observation, that can yield the intended results of ascending to a non-physical element based system of nutrition, sustenance, maintenance or survival.
