Good morning!
Breath Infusion: Conducted Bhastrika Pranayam for about 40 minutes. Tried to concentrate better on the different locks while doing the infusion, then when using the belly/sphincter/anus lock after stopping a cycle. At the end, and while doing the kneeling postures that are supposed to raise the Kundalini if done properly twice, after doing the belly lock, etc, I experienced a vacuum in the head, very close to passing out, but very enjoyable (I hope is not addictive), with myriad little white balls and the back of the neck, but especially the face, were engulfed in fire, very hot and red. Does this indicate a raising, partial or total, of the Kundalini?
Meditation: Pressed eyes with fingers and the third eye chakra doughnut pattern showed perfectly. Later on the bright yellow star was there and faded with time as it blurred into a yellow ball. Meditated on the third eye for a while, then concentrated on the Naad sound by the right ear, which was dim but discernible.
Dream: Another personal dream (I hope I get back to dreaming of angels as 2 days ago soon). Anyhow, it is remarkable that I am remembering all these dreams daily, putting them down on paper, and comparing and finding analogies and psychological keys, all the result of practicing from "Meditation Pictorial".

MiBeloved's Response:
This is a partial raise of kundalini in the head with it not striking brahmarandra but striking the buddhi organ and activating the third eye.
Please do keep the neck lock tight whenever this happens. If you are standing when this happens, keep the neck lock super tight. Compress all other locks even tighter. Do not open the eyes. Do not lose focus on it and gradually sink down to your knees while carefully holding all the locks. Do not lean forward or backward keep the spine positioned properly.
Do not be too much in a hurry to bring up kundalini fully because if that happens and you are standing, your body will surely fall, because you will no longer be in a position to control the physical body and the kundalini which is the underlying caretaker of that chore of maintaining the physical body will also abandon its duty for the short time that it will remain with a full brahmarandra arousal.
When this full blast of kundalini happens you should drop to your knees moments before it reaches full stage. In other words you have to be looking down into the subtle body and see it coming, so that you can instantly pull in all locks tighter, clamp eye lids shut tighter and drop to the knees while keeping that neck lock in the tightest possible pull back into the throat. All chest muscles should be clamped down shut.
If you are confronting a mad dragon which you arouse from its lair, then you had better be ready to restrain it. It won’t understand anything besides brute force control. It is not a little pansy.
On Dreams:
Let me reiterate that the subtle body is incapable of remembering astral activity if it has a low energy supply. If it does not get much energy from the kundalini life force which stays back as housekeeper in the sleeping physical form, that subtle body will have memory faculties which will be shut down. This might be compared to certain graphic programs in a computer like the Adobe CS products. These are high end software and they are greedy for power and for processing calculations. Therefore if you have some other power hungry software running on a small computer and you turn on Adobe stuff, something has to give.
Similarly if the life force has to do many chores in the body, like processing food, dealing with stress, dealing with a thought-obsessed mind, then it will send less power to the subtle form. Even sexual activity can cause a shut down in dream awareness because sex can at times drain all hormone energy from the body.
So a yogi has to get smart and make up his mind as to what he really wants to achieve. If the yogi wants more subtle awareness, then he should work to suit by making it so that the life force does not need much power to do its chores during sleep. The result of this will be increased awareness in dreams, conscious astral projection of the subtle body, bringing back memory of what happened astrally even if it occurs very far from where the material body was sleeping, increased ability to make head or tail of both actual astral projections and in-the-mind imaginations which are dreams.
