AM Practice

Practice was challenged and lasted about one hour. As a result of going to bed late for 2 days in a row, I could not wake up early today and due to social constrains had to rush the practice a little, which is already a hindrance (not respecting the deity of sleep).

Svadhyaya: Continued study of several spiritual books of the same author.

Breath Infusion: 30 minutes breath-of-fire prânâyâma while doing several asanas. Kundalini was solicited up sushumna twice successfully.

Meditation: 30 minutes with concentration on naad on back of head. Naad was quite strong for the AM practice, but thoughts were a problem from the onset of the meditation, so it basically became Tapasya in bringing the concentration back to it several times.

Sadhana and Tapasya Planning for the Day:

1.    Thokar Kriya in between breath-of-fire sessions.

2.    As little interaction with others as possible.

3.    Eat as little as possible, juicing + flaxseed oil/cottage cheese with fruits and nuts.

4.    Long study session.

5.    Sunbath and solar gazing.

Dream recall: 2 dreams recalled. The first dream was a continuation of the one yesterday pertaining Arjuna and the Bhagavad Gita. After waking up for urine evacuation, a second mundane dream ensued.

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

Meditation on Naad in the PM was much better than during the morning session. After approximately 30 minutes of breath infusion, Naad was quite strong and a bee-like vortex was located coming from the left ear. It was there where concentration was effected to let it lead into effortless elongation for periods of time. Thoughts were quite subdued compared to this morning.
