ॐ नमः शिवाय

AM Practice

Length of practice was shortened due to social commitment to 30 minutes in motel room with air conditioning off and open window.

Svadhyaya: Returned to study again “Meditation Pictorial”.

Dedication: Practice dedicated to Lord Shiva after mantra (Om Namah Shivaya) incantation.

Breath Infusion: 15 minutes of Bhastrika prânâyâma. Kundalini was not solicited.

Meditation: 15 minutes meditation on the back of the head in shavasana (cadaver position = reclining).  Most of the meditation consisted of concentration on the area of the back of the head. Naad sound was heard all along. The concentration is brought back and elongated carefully and painstakingly, for the goal of long-lasting relaxed Dhyana.

Dream recall: 2 awful dreams were clearly recalled. No one wants dreams like that, but they were there. The message of the dreams was “the control of anger”. I am dealing with anger now, dissolving it and transcending it, as an issue that has impacted me negatively for most of my life, thus this is not a coincidence, on the contrary. The first one consisted of an argument with my wife about tires for her car; the other one had a money setting in a bank that was running out of funds and would not cash me in. Awful!

PM Practice

Practice consisted of 90 minutes in the same motel room with air conditioning off and open window.

Dedication: Practice again dedicated to Lord Shiva after mantra (Om Namah Shivaya) incantation.

Breath Infusion: 45 minutes of Bhastrika prânâyâma in different asanas. About half of the practice consisted in infusing breath into the thighs. Kundalini was solicited and raised forcefully at the end of the session.

Meditation: 30 minutes meditation on the back of the head in the same fashion as in the morning.

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

Let me add something to the report above.

Since I wrote it, I found out that the first dream, when I argued with my wife about replacing two tires (I wrote her car but that was not clear), was an exact premonition of an event that occurred in the afternoon, when I found out just now that my son had blown 2 tires on the same pothole. For people challenged with income, this can be stressing, so the message was clear, not to fret about the event, as I would have done in the past.
