This diagram above was given to me by Srila Yogeshwarananda. The explanation is in the diagram below. This diagram completes the neophyte stage of kundalini yoga, which though it might take years to complete is just the beginning stage.
In the explanation diagram above you will see two blocks. The first one is the navel block. The student must confront this block repeatedly until he or she bores through it and destroys it, shattering its power and causing it to disintegrate. It has to fragment out and become melted out on the molecular level. This might be compared to using a nuclear explosive rather than using dynamite.
In dynamite there are many fragments going there, demolishing anything which does not have enough hardness to resist it, but with nuclear materials, there are no fragments left; down to the molecular level there is disintegration, a complete elimination.
Initially the student will attack the navel block using a dynamite process but after repeatedly challenging that block the time will come when the student will go nuclear and will have lasting success, otherwise the resistance just reforms day after day soon after the student practices.
==========================
In the second block which is the small-of-the-back block, the yogi learns that the psyche is designed in such a way as to stop the kundalini energy from ascending beyond this point. There is a choke-hold here which stops the kundalini energy from rising beyond this point. The student experiences the release of this choke-hold when suddenly kundalini penetrates this place and goes into the brain which causes a black out, a white out or a gold out. But soon after kundalini drops down or retreats back to the base chakra and leaves the student with the usual mundane consciousness as before.
While dong bhastrika pranayama if the student is not vigilant and does not apply the proper neck lock, stomach lock, sex lock, anus lock and mind lock, if the student bends the back in a certain way even accidentally, kundalini will, on occasion, rush up through this block and cause loss of control of the physical body.
However sooner or later the student will have to master this and eventually will have to eliminate this block so that kundalini is coming up into the head at every moment and it does not linger below this block building up just to reserve energy for sexual intercourse and/or reproduction of the species.
==========================
The first stage section infusion is the initial stage of kundalini yoga. It may take months or years even to master this. This concerns focusing pranic energy down to the navel.
==========================
The second stage section infusion is when energy passes behind the navel and is built up in the public area and then passes to the base chakra and moves up to the small-of-the-back block. The student has to regulate this. If he or she fails to do this, then the sex drive will increase and the student will become a sex maniac. This is because the built-up energy here has to go somewhere, so if the small-of-the-back block is not penetrated, then the energy will pressure in the downward direction which will cause increased libido. This will make the student become a phony tantric yogi, who having failed to transmute sexual energy rationalizes that the excessive pleasure use of it is rightly justified.
==========================
The third stage section infusion is when the energy passes the small-of-the-back block. Once this is attained then the student is on his or her way to higher yoga. The pleasure vices which the lower chakras sponsor are no longer predominant and the yogi comes under the influence of the siddhas.
==========================
The initial standard prana compression is the holding area of the lungs. This is the place from which the compression of air takes place. The yogi has to command this place to distribute the accumulated prana through the subtle body.

Thanks Michael!
You have explained most or some of this several times before, but never so clearly, at least since the time I participate here.
It is obvious to me that I am at that first stage.
The 2 blocks you mentioned, I have already encountered them intuitively, specially the one in the small of the back. This block I felt, I now recognize, clearly in the last few days as rejection wall, or a hurdle. The breath hits against it but can't jump it, and it is frustrating.
I am glad you also mentioned about the increase in libido, as I have been under this spell for a couple of days now. Not good for me, and I hate the feeling, and don't want it, sincerely. So...my question is:
How best to penetrate this small-of-the-back block?
Also...since I have some time in my hands, I also do pranayama in the PM, but this practice entails bursts of a few minutes, followed by mini-meditations and reading of spiritual literature. It is not continuous, but a practice I enjoy. It is secondary to the first AM practice. What do you think about this practice?

MiBeloved's Response:
People have complained that my writings are so complicated and that I should simplify everything if I expect people to understand and to put it into practice. But consider that it is just about 40 years of practice for me to come up with this diagram. My challenge also is for you to find another diagram like this anywhere. Can you find even one? Perhaps you can but the point is that you will not find many. Even famous kundalini yoga gurus have not left such diagrams.
So how valid is the accusation that I am not simplifying anything. After 40 years of practice, I come up with this diagram and only after it was shown to me in a flash by Srila Yogesh, and people say that it has to be simple. If you are doing scientific research for 40 years and then you come up with something, will anyone tell you to do it in a simple way? Perhaps they will?

MiBeloved's Response:
So the New Age gurus are saying that you are God. What kind of God are you if you cannot get this under control? Must be a Mickey-Mouse God but no offense intended.

MiBeloved's Response:
This practice is highly recommended. It won’t be as efficient and it will have a smaller impact as compared to the early morning (brahma-muhurta) practice, but still it has value and will give incremental advancement. Every penny counts. We have to take lessons from greedy businessmen. If they can get ten more dollars by opening the shop at night they will do so, because it is all about getting money.
So whatever will give us just a little bit more progress should be done.
Actually I know a guy who tried to do yoga sincerely but then he is a businessman too. So he will break his neck to do pujas for the success of the business. He will do anything to get another dollar. He will stay up at night, drive that extra mile, sell whatever the public desires even if it is against his religious principles. So he is my guru in that way, where I learnt from him that if you want something you have to get out there and do whatever is necessary to get it, even if it ruins everything else in your life.

Much of your work is unique, not only the diagrams, but also the explanations here that accompany them, in addition the books.
Your help is much appreciated.
What about the question I asked you: How best to penetrate this small-of-the-back block?

Alfredo's query:
How best to penetrate this small-of-the-back block?
MiBeloved's Response:
1. Settle up with the ancestors as indicated in the sex you! book.
2. Bore through the lock daily with an intensive practice so that kundalini bursts into the head at least once per day, even though it will again subside and go down to its grotto at muladhara chakra, thus reestablishing this small-of-the-back lock, after it bored through it.
3. Study your personal attachment to the sex drive by understanding the advantage which it affords and the pleasure energy which it creates.
4. Admit that you are fighting a losing battle against sex potency and that if you are continuously challenged by it, you will have to give into it. This will cause you to take more shelter in advanced yogis and in devatas, supernatural beings like Shiva. Stop chanting Shivoham (Shivah Aham) which means that I am Shiva or that I am like Shiva, because the truth is that you are not like Shiva because you do not have the power to break off penis and throw it away. You cannot resist females as much as Shiva and without such resistance there is no prospect to get rid of the block. Therefore the only way out is to take help from the real God who is Shiva. With his help you can muster up some resistance, otherwise you are toast. The appropriate mantra is jivoham (jivah aham) which means I am a limited spirit person. I cannot break out of this prison by myself. I must take help from Shiva.
