AM Practice

Woke up at 4:00 AM (Brahma-muhurta). Quality of practice was good. It consisted of 80 minutes in a motel room with the air conditioning off and the window open.

Svadhyaya: Read in depth “Meditation Pictorial”, Chapter 11 “Meditation is Required”. This is a key chapter.

Dedication: Practice dedicated to Lord Shiva after 5-minute mantra (Om Namah Shivaya) incantation. Hara Hara Mahadeva Shambho, Kashi Vishwanatha Gange!

Breath Infusion: 45 minutes of Bhastrika prânâyâma. Half the practice was dedicated to the process of clearing the thighs of apana air (CO2), and infusing prana (fresh O2) into them. Towards the end of the practice Kundalini was solicited in earnest and arose forcefully and successfully. Meditation followed immediately.

Dream recall: 2 dreams recalled clearly, but I will detail only one here because of its weird characteristics.

It was a regurgitation of something that occurred in rural Georgia in the 1920, when a proud and courageous black man was lynched. He had said to family and friends that his time was borrowed on earth because the day a white man strikes him, that day he would die. Since striking and insulting blacks was common in that area during that time, one day in town a store owner slapped him. He went home, returned with his shotgun and killed him. He sent his family away and hunkered down in his house, defending himself till the house was set on fire.

Why all this came up, I do not know. This is a true story. This is perhaps a type of dream that occurs within the psyche.

The other one, although not lucid, was a meeting in an astral plane with an old friend.

Dreams of that nature come on many bases depending on what level of perception you view it on in meditation. It is not always possible to even know what level you are on when this happens, or even which psychic adjunct perceives this and without that information, it is hard to determine the relevance of these dreams.

My hunch is that this happened because of the location you were in, in the subtle world, during the meditation, where you hit a place or crossed through a time energy which contained this recording of what happened to the black fellow. You may have been related to the person, or not related but once the subtle body, or an adjunct in it, makes contact with the memory energy, it will play out.

Consider this:

You walking into a store as you are travelling across Pennsylvania. You see an old radio on a dusty shelf in the store. You get this feeling to press a button on the radio. As soon as you do so, sirens blare out from the speakers of the thing and then news is given about a bomb raid in Germany in World War 2.

So the radios was owned by a German during the war, and his grandson owns that store and for sentimental reasons placed that radio on that dusty shelf and plugged it in. But why did it tune to something which was announced through it many years ago.

Things like that happen in the astral world.

Your subtle body must have crossed a memory energy and so you saw what was stored in that akashic record if you want to call it that.

So this is a manifestation of yogic siddhi perfectional powers of the infused subtle form.

These powers come haphazardly at your stage of practice and then later after many years of consistent effort, they will trail out and become more pronounced and meaningful.

It is like when you are drilling for oil. Sometimes there is a squirt but it does not last because it is just a shallow pocket which your drill passed through. Then there might be many more of those until finally you hit a gusher where oil flows like water continuously.

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 11 “Meditation is Required”.

Dedication: Practice dedicated to Swami Hariharananda, to whom I am trying to contact in the astral.

Breath Infusion: 30 minutes of Bhastrika prânâyâma. Third eye area was very active with a bright rim of yellow light surrounding a brown center that changed to blue hues. Kundalini was solicited once successfully. 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 quite strong and was tuned to for most of the practice. It emanates from both ears, but in my case it is felt the strongest from the left ear (contrary to what is found in Meditation Pictorial, probably because I have a mild case of tinnitus in the left ear).

Trying to contact Swami Hariharananda:

A word of advice:

Abandon the effort! Keep your practice going and he will find you when he feels he should.

The easiest way to find an invisible person is to sit still and let him come to you.

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

some persons hear naad predominantly on the left side, but you will find that most hear it on the right side. Some hear it in the back center. Naad sound is not always heard on the predominant side, it might switch on occasion. Some find that they cannot determine where it originated. Their view is that it is all-pervasive.
