AM Practice
Woke up at 5:00 AM (Brahma-muhurta). Quality of practice was good. It consisted of 110 minutes in a motel room with the air conditioning off and the window open.
Svadhyaya: Returned to “Meditation Pictorial”, continued with Chapter 12 “Mystic Inside”.
Dedication: Practice dedicated to Lord Shiva after 5-minute mantra incantation and prayer.
Breath Infusion: 45 minutes of Bhastrika prânâyâma in various asanas. Kundalini was solicited after approximately 30 minutes of practice, and then again towards the end, both successfully. Meditation followed immediately.
Meditation: 60 minutes meditation on the back of the head in shavasana (cadaver position = reclining). Basically trying to keep concentration way back in the head and studying the nature of thoughts that come up, many of which come from the subconscious mind, within the psyche. Very few seem to come from the outside.
Dream recall: Several dreams recalled clearly. They were of social and family import.

PM Practice
Practice was good. It consisted of 60 minutes in a motel room with the air conditioning off and the window open.
Svadhyaya: Continued with “Meditation Pictorial”, Chapter 12 “Mystic Inside”.
Breath Infusion: 30 minutes of Bhastrika prânâyâma. Kundalini was solicited once successfully. Introduced 3 new floor asanas from Michael’s video (now that the foot is almost healed) Meditation followed immediately.
Meditation: 30 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 very strong at first, at a higher pitch from left ear as usual, but it gradually subsided. This occurs to me often, and it is probable the result of poor breath infusion.
Interesting note: Today, here in Tampa, I did a Bhastrika pranayama demonstration for some friends, and people were amazed. Imagine! Then someone had a “tablet” and I showed them Michael’s video (long one in screened porch), then people were spell bounded. That produced a sale of a couple of Michael’s books (one Astral Projection, one Meditation Pictorial). Hey, I ain’t looking for a commission; it is joy to do that!
