Sri Lahiri Mahasaya suggested a method to make chit akash contact even from within a mind which does not have that contact.
What happens is that a yogi may have difficulty reaching a high enough level of consciousness where he or she can make definite very clear non-ambiguous, non-abstract, contact with the chit akash sky of consciousness, the spiritual existential atmosphere.
In the material world, there is spirit and there is matter, in various combination, in various form designations and also randomly situated. The environments here are primarily matter, either subtle or gross matter or combinations of these types of energies. Spirit is keyed into matter here and operates matter as if matter is spirit, which it is not.
In the chit akash, the environment is spirit, and so is the spirit. There is no dual environmental mix between spirit and matter. The entire place, its landscape, its sky, its inhabitants, its vegetation, everything is spirit consistently and thoroughly.
Reaching that place during the meditation session is near impossible because of the constant social association with people in the material world, whose point of reference is the material world and whose spiritual views may only be realized in the form of abstractness without differentiation.
Under such influences, the yogi cannot reach the chit akash because his psyche is full of that energy. Now and again he may find that his attention and interest has suddenly shifted into the chit akash but he is unable to continue this linkage, as it vanished without a trace as soon he becomes aware of it.
How can he remain in the low energy in the psyche and still link with the chit akasha? Lahiri Mahayogin gave this method.
======================
In meditation, the yogi should first reach naad and become stabilized in it. He should also reach the blend of naad sound which is a mix of the cosmic naad which penetrates his psyche and the local naad which is the vibration in the sushumna nadi passage. Once this is done, then the yogi should move back into the default position of the core self which is in the central consciousness in the head of the subtle body. Once there the yogi should wait for a while, say about 9 minutes. If in that time the chit akash does not appear, where the energy clears off like when dark clouds move away and do not overcast an area, then the yogi should settle down in that central core consciousness and from there reach outside of the dark energy in the mind to reach the chit akash.
There should be no imagination of what the chit akash sky of consciousness is. The yogi should only send his interest energy out, beyond the edge of the psyche
This will cause a linking with one of the cosmic adjuncts, which are cosmic ahamkara, cosmic buddhi, or comic kundalini.
The yogi should remain in a stable, reaching-out into that cosmic energy and should feed on it, just the way he practiced before in reference to the naad.
