The outer trunk lift is a breath infusion practice done in several postures where the student can focus easily on the trunk of the body but also on the outer edges of the trunk right under the skin.

When you do breath infusion, it is necessary to focus internally so as to find out which postures facilitates which part of the body. This is different to reading books and viewing idealized diagrams and then sitting to meditate and imaging that you are reaching or influencing in certain parts of the body.

Get with it, actually finding out by inner focus in various postures, which parts of the body are focalized naturally in each of the postures. There will also be a development where as you progress one posture causes changes in one part of the body. Then when those changes are established the same posture causes focus on another part of the body. This is a dynamic process and is not a text book approach.

Today during breath infusion there were many firings of kundalini energy all over the trunk of the body and into the neck. At one point light slivers were all under the shoulders and in the chest but it could not get through the neck because there was a darkness energy in the neck. By wiggling the neck from side to side, the light slivers began to penetrate the darkness in the neck and then break through the neck completely and move into the head. This felt like when a river is damn or clogged where the water cannot pass freely. Then when the dam breaks the water gushes through, flushing debris passing easily.

The sushumna nadi passage in the neck is usually open but the area of the neck which is outside the passage is usually so clogged that no energy passes up from the trunk of the body into the head through that area. Thus it is a task for a yogi to get that area cleared.

This is necessary to keep the communication between the energy in the trunk and the energy in the head area of the subtle body. Free passage of this energy causes a high level of consciousness to prevail at all times.

===========================

When I worked on the outer trunk lift it was like I had energy which went down under the skin of the trunk of the body. When it reached the bottom of the trunk, this energy curled inwards and up, gripping everything in the trunk and pulling it up. This is a part of the practice for causing the energy in the trunk to move upward, disregarding the gravity feed system which makes the energy go downward as the natural process.
