Breath Infusion without Carbon Dioxide Exchanged

A development in the breath infusion practice is the change in attitude of the cells of the physical body which hoard carbon dioxide. This correlates to the apana energy being hoarded in the subtle form.

Nature has designed the system for hoarding of carbon dioxide but a yogi can, over time doing breath infusion, change the attitude of the system, so that the negative energy is not held to be sacred and dear to the system.

So long as kundalini is running the show, it will do things in its own way, the way it knows how which is to sponsor creature-bodies in the material world. If by some means, pranayama or otherwise, the ascetic can take control of the system in part or total, then the kundalini’s method may be altered, so as to prepare the subtle body for going to siddha loka or higher.

Sri Lahiri Baba introduced the idea to me of causing the cells to take in more oxygen instead of causing them to release hoarded carbon dioxide. What is this?

This system is different to the preliminary kundalini yoga practice, which has to be mastered before one can use this new more advanced system. In the preliminary system, the process is to force in more and more prana, compress it in and then let it route out the carbon dioxide by forcibly pushing the carbon dioxide out of the subtle body.

In the new system the infused air is compressed into the lung cells and then pushed into other cells, even into the corpuscle blood cells irrespective of their carbon dioxide content, such that the fresh air is fused into the carbon dioxide. At first the cells become confused because of this but then they quickly recover as they realize that this new process is no harm to them.
