Woke up at 4:00 AM (Brahma-muhurta). Quality of practice was good. It consisted of 95 minutes in a motel room with the air conditioning off and the window open.

Svadhyaya: Continued with the study of “Meditation Pictorial”, Chapter 13.

Dedication: Practice dedicated to Lord Shiva after 5-minute mantra incantation and prayer.

Breath Infusion: 45 minutes of Bhastrika prânâyâma in various asanas with no interruption. Kundalini was solicited up Sushumna successfully 2 times. Most of the breath infusion concentrated on the lower extremities, thighs and feet. Meditation followed immediately.

Meditation: 45 minutes meditation in shavasana (cadaver position = reclining). Concentration was taken slowly to the back of the head. Naad sound was loud, coming from the left ear. Third eye area was quite active. Meditation consisted of anchoring to naad until it waned away, then on concentration on the back of the head.

PM Practice

Practice was good. It consisted of 45 minutes in a motel room with the air conditioning off and the window open.

Breath Infusion: 25 minutes of Bhastrika prânâyâma. Kundalini was solicited once successfully. Meditation followed. In the afternoon, the breath infusion session is usually stronger, often much stronger, than the AM session.

Meditation: 20 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 and on Naad sound. Naad sound was very strong at first, subsiding later.
