AM Practice

Woke up during Brahma-Muhurta (4:00 AM). Practice conducted at home was standard overall and lasted 95 minutes.

Svadhyaya: Continued with “Yoga Sutras of Patanjali”, Chapter 3 “Vibhuti Pada” (Glory Displayed).

Dedication: 5-minute mantra session invocation of Lord Shiva. Practice dedicated to Lord Shiva.

Breath Infusion: 45 minutes of Bhastrika prânâyâma while doing several asanas. Half of the time was used in infusing fresh prana into the thighs, and extracting apana from them. Kundalini was solicited successfully twice before going into meditation.

Meditation: Consisted of 45 minutes with concentration on the Naad sound which was quite audible and was followed and tuned into. I could elongate this concentration for some time effortlessly (Dhyana), which is one of the main purposes of the meditation at the stage I am in. Every time the concentration drifted away from Naad, it was gently brought back to the back of the head and to Naad again. Twice almost fell into trance, similar to sleep paralysis, and the one that usually promotes a conscious astral projection, each time several images appeared, more strikingly a distinct map of France where all locations were clearly discernible.

Dream recall: One dream recalled distinctly.
