Practice Report 4-1-13

Morning practice was alone for the first time and self directed. 

So i got to be completely self centered.

Due to the choices in sequence of asana and the added time holding the bandhas I was able to experience several excellent kundalini moments and maintain lucidity.

Came into house for meditation time and stayed in meditation for over an hour.

Unlike my teacher, I am not a samadhi hero (yet) and have no medals for meditation.

What i do have...is...a great teacher...and my commitment to the practice.

Sometimes what I feel like in meditation is similar to the way i feel in the kitchen.

Like a bull in a china shop.  Bumping into random things, looking for things I can’t find, throwing myself around without good sense of what might be within my range of destruction, running into unexpected messes.

i run into many unexpected things in meditation.

i took another approach this morning because although I can always make contact with naad, in the morning it doesn’t always captivate my full attention yet.

i decided to greatly expand my head so that I would have more room to work. 

I let my subtle head expand and a little me inside sitting in lotus was able to navigate around and explore. 

Once I had traveled around the inside of my head and examined the structures that seem to run the activities, I finally settled comfortably into the back of the head, putting my hands against the soft back of my subtle head and laid the side of my face down there and then my whole body merged with the area.  I rested there with my inner eyes closed and sank into the naad finally for about 45 mins.

This evening I did several asana and breath infusion a little before sunset. 

My meditation after was influenced by a video i watched earlier that Marcia re-posted about the universe and its vastness.

My meditation began with my awareness at the center of my head.

I felt as if my perception was being drawn away from the center of my head outward.

I was panning way out while watching the center.  This went on for about 25 minutes.

It was a fun meditation having this experience i felt the same magnetism energy I’ve felt before in lucid dreams.

After this experience naad was very loud and allowed me some beautiful geometric visions.

Every student should fool around within the psyche to discover what is there. Apart from what we read in the yoga books and what we hear of from guru experiences which were described, we also need to find our way and to see exactly what is in the inner psyche, the physiology of the subtle body.

Don’t feel that you have to do exactly what I do.

The exactness is where you dig in to your psyche, pay attention to what is in, consider changes, endeavor to install that, develop more spiritual perception and understand what lifestyle changes will further more advancement.

Meditation Time as a web site was begun with the idea to share this inner research (inSelf Yoga).
