After practicing the breath infusion into the thighs, legs and feet for some time now, for over at least 2 years and for at least 8 months intensively focusing beyond the knee area downwards, I can recommend this process to others with confidence that it will give certain results which it seems cannot be attained otherwise.
Three astral yogis are to be credited for showing this process and insisting on it, who are Srila Yogeshwarananda, Tibeti Yogi, his friend and Pranajogi one of his teachers.
Their idea is that unless one gets the entire subtle body flushed of heavy astral energy in every part of it, one cannot be fully successful with the Patanjali yoga process, ashtanga yoga. This is a whole new idea. I have not seen this stated anywhere else but I know that in his book, “First Steps to Higher Yoga”, Srila Yogesh stressed the importance of so many asanas and pranayama methods as if these were absolutely necessary.
Originally in India, one had to do these 8 steps one by one, but then later, some people who became famous said it was not necessary. Notably was Swami Vivekananda, who sometimes ridiculed asana and hatha yogi kriyas. It may be that he was reacting to the Christian way of salvation and wanted to match up the Indian method to that. After all the Christians are only required to pray and sing hymns. They are promised salvation in return for that.
My conclusion at this point is that if you can pray and sing and cause the subtle body to be cleared of heavy astral energy, then you need not do anything else.
My subtle body did not yield to that method, so for me I had to find other systems.
I can confidently say that the clearing of the heavy astral energy in the thighs, legs and feet, results in a very peculiar type of meditation in the head of the subtle body, where there is full silence there, where the buddhi there simply stops displaying any vrittis. In fact it seems that the buddhi desires and feels the need for this state of what might be called no-mind, where no-mind is no idea, thoughts or images theatrically arising in the mind space to bewilder the core self. Instead the buddhi intellect orb looks out for naad sound and naad vibration and especially it seems to welcome the clear light astral energy which is rising up from the thighs, legs, feet areas into the trunk and then passing through the widened neck into the head.
This new attitude of the buddhi is a sigh of relief for the core-self which was before belabored trying to keep the buddhi from its various machinations, jumping from thought to thought, idea to idea, memory to idea on and on, endlessly in a protracted struggle to meet the standard for yoga set by Patanjali.
Yoga is best done when there are no vritti theatrical activities by the intellect in the mind. That is for sure!
Yoga is also best done when the kundalini is washed out completely, when it is totally extinguished by a good session of breath infusion practice (bhastrika or kapala bhati pranayama), which ignites and burns away its reserve energy. The buddhi, and rightly so, lives in fear of the kundalini life force mechanism. As soon as the yogi can cause the kundalini to be divested out using breath infusion, then the buddhi becomes free from kundalini’s influence and no longer has to cower in fear of its crazy survival and pleasure procurement commands.
