ॐ नमः शिवाय

AM Practice

Woke up at 5:00 AM (Brahma-Muhurta). Practice was standard and lasted 70 minutes.

Svadhyaya: Continued with Chapter 3 of “Bhagavad Gita Explained” – “Cultural Activity and Renunciation”, and other books of same author.

Dedication: Mantra session dedicated to Mahadeva, doing Tratak (eye concentration) on effigy of Lord Shiva using a Mala for 10 minutes.

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

Meditation: 60 minutes with concentration on naad on back of head.

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 only.

4.    Long study session.

5.    No sun today, cold front is finally here!

Dream recall: 2 dreams recalled. Remembrance compromised by going to bed a little later than usual, out of certain “enthusiasm”. 

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

PM Practice consisted of 166 cycles of Thokar Kriya pranayama while studying spiritual literature.

30/30 minutes breath-of-fire and Naad meditation followed.
