Breath Infusion Samadhi States
Breath Infusion Samadhi States
During breath infusion sessions, it will be that regularly, one enters into a bliss compact state, where a part of or a zone of or the entire subtle body becomes energized by the infused breath energy. This compact energy will burst into a bliss feeling which is in a part of or throughout the entire body.
A yogi should not be eager to continue to the next posture but should delay in the posture in which the bliss state happened. But as soon as the bliss feelings subsides, he should resume the infusion in the same or in another posture according to what is required for that session of practice.
The sequence of events is this.
- Compaction of breath energy into the subtle body while assuming a specific posture or movement
- location of the compressed force as to where it is located in the subtle form
- absorption of the bliss feelings with assessment of the bliss type
- samadhi absorption and perception of the saturated energy
This means that the yogi does not have to practice pratyahar sensual energy restriction because the breath infusion itself causes that to happen automatically. The yogi does not have to do dharana deliberate focus because spontaneously the breath infusion causes the psyche to be absorbed in a higher desirable state.
Dhyana or spontaneous absorption occurs. It may be prolonged where it is rated as a samadhi which is continuous absorption.

Extraordinary articulation, I did notice but did not realize these effects were automatically happening during practice. I always thought we have to do all these in samayama, but during the practice itself dharana, dhyana, and even samadhi can take place.

In the beginner's level of practice, the aggressive vigilance necessary makes it impossible to focus on the samadhi states which occur. There is also the danger of losing objective awareness during breath infusion practice.
If one becomes absorbed (samyama) at any stage, there is the likelihood that one will forget to keep track of the distribution of the pranic energy stored. That means that the stored energy from a session of compaction breaths may be used and then kundalini will act to switch dependence on the stupor inducing energy (carbon dioxide), whereby the yogi will lose track of the physical body and even the subtle one, which means the physical one will fall to the ground, enter a swoon state and may even begin to exhibit a nervous jerk movement.
Hence the practice of being absorbed during breath infusion is for those who practice for about five years to the minimun because by that time, the coreSelf would have developed the required control and automatic vigilance during the breath infusion practice.
Every boy wants to be a man but it takes some years to have the boy body grow into that of a man. How fast can it happen? Can it be forced?
