Lifting the Sheen

This is a practice introduced to me by Srila Yogeshwarananda. This happens after a full breath infusion session when more or less about at least 80% of the carbon dioxide reserve of energy in the cells are pulled out of the body and replaced by fresh air energy.

One sits to meditate immediately after the breath infusion. With the core-self adhering to the naad sound, one should look forward but with no interest in finding out what is happening in the physical world, with no interest in using the physical eyes and with no interest in energizing the corresponding eyes of the subtle body.

One will then feel that there is an energy which is coming out of the core-self and going forward into the fontal part of the subtle head.

If this energy forms a bunched energy like a rectangular stacks of energy laying horizontally, and if the outer part of it has a sheen, then one should make an effort to lift or tilt up this energy upwards.

If one finds that the energy does not respond to one’s will power then one should resume a full naad meditation and try to do this on another occasion when the system is responsive.

The lifting of this sheen energy is part of the process of developing permanent supernatural insight. It is lifted to about 22 degrees and then it is held there without any attempt to protrude or focus it.
