Woke up very early.

स्वाध्याय: Read/studied Rishi Singh Gherwal's "Kundalini, The Mother of the Universe". Quotes:

I - "The Kundalini is sleeping, closing the door of the Sushumna. She sleeps above the Kanda or where the Nadis unite. She gives liberation to the Yogi and bondage to fools. He who knows her knows Yoga."

II - "Yogins awake the Kundalini that is sleeping at the door of the Sushumna. Seated on the Vajrasan and taking hold of the ankles, Yogi should slowly beat the Kanda."

III - The body, therefore, may be compared to a magnet with two poles. The Muladhara is the static pole in relation to the rest of the body, which is dynamic.

प्राणायाम: As I was doing Kapalabhati, it itself eased up into Bhastrika. I found that Bhastrika is easier to do than Kapalabhati, as the rhythm is more akin to the natural rhythm of the breath, thus I continued the practice with Bhastrika, and from now on that will be the only breath infusion I will use.

धारणा: Practice of 15 minutes mainly धारणा aspiring to ध्यान.
