Naad Samadhi

Meditation this morning was all about naad sound. The breath infusion was thorough but it produced a slightly different kind of meditation practice, which was a naad samadhi experience.
In this case instead of merging into anything, what happened was that naad sound was penetrative like if you are sitting in the presence of a piece of uranium. The substance has such powerful rays that it penetrates your body even without your understanding what it is doing and then soon your cells mutate and you are sick, then you are dead. That is a penetration not a mergence.
What happened was this.
After a good session of bhastrika pranayama, when I felt that the lower part of the subtle body was fully infused with fresh prana, I worked on the head of the subtle body beginning with the lower back part near to the neck and moving up to the frontal part.
When I got to the frontal part, I got a flash realization that the practice I did some years ago to withdraw attention from the frontal part of the brain, a pratyahar practice, had finally paid off. In meditation I no longer have to do that withdrawal. The system no long gives any attention to the frontal part during meditation. In fact while before this frontal part was the default location of attention focus, now the lack of focus in it, is the default attitude.
When I sat in lotus at first, I noticed that naad was beaming loudly from the back right but down in the body just below the neck to the right side of the sushumna nadi. It was blasting this sound frequency clear. There was a vortex at the top of the blast point.
I relocated and taking a miniature lotus posture form, I sat on the vortex. Then the whole naad energy penetrated me (core-self) and was passing through me with beams of energy.
So this is how I spend this morning samadhi experience.
There were a few blips in this. Once there was a feeling of the frontal part of the subtle head how it was vacant like a space in the sky in which there are no objects, nothing at all. So no thoughts arose, none.
Then there was a flash of being at the third eye and passing through a woman’s body there. This was a transit through a woman’s psyche. Those were the only two changes but they were flash experiences in a split second.

Special Note:
The only thing that is stereotyped about my practice is the breath infusion part. That is standard. Once that is done, then I am open to anything which that produced. The effects of that changes from day to day even though there is a general way which that manifests.
Mainly once I sit to meditate, I look to see what the infusion has done and I work with that. I do not go through a procedure after that unless I got a particular instruction from a yoga guru to perform on that specific day.
If you are meditating without breath infusion effect, then of course you should follow a procedure but if you are doing infusion, then first pay attention to see the effects of that and get what you can out of that development.
Please note that with Patanjali many applications of samyama are given, these are samadhi applications. Why so many?
Why not just one application?
Because the pranayama practice when done to proficiency is variant. It is not stereotyped.
