ॐ नमः शिवाय

AM Practice

Woke up at 5:00 AM (Brahma-muhurta). Quality of practice was standard. It consisted of 65 minutes in a motel room with the air conditioning off and the window open.

Svadhyaya: Continued with “Meditation Pictorial”, started Chapter 12 “Mystic Inside”.

Dedication: Practice dedicated to Lord Shiva after 5-minute mantra (Om Namah Shivaya) incantation.

Breath Infusion: 30 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.

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. The concentration has been shifted to above the neck in the back, as explained in “Meditation Pictorial”.

Dream recall: 3 dreams recalled clearly! They were of social import, 2 relating to friends and events of the past.
