AM Practice

Practice was standard and lasted about one hour.

Svadhyaya: Continued study of several spiritual books of the same author.

Dedication: Mantra session dedicated to Mahadeva, Lord Shiva.

Breath Infusion: Approximately 30 minutes breath-of-fire prânâyâma while doing several asanas. Kundalini was solicited up sushumna twice.

Meditation: 30 minutes with concentration on naad on back of head. Naad was quite healthy this morning, strong from both ears and back of head. Main node from left ear.

Sadhana and Tapasya Planning for the Day:

1.   Thokar Kriya in between breath-of-fire sessions.

2.   As little interaction with others as possible.

3.  Eat as little as possible, juicing + flaxseed oil/cottage cheese with fruits and nuts. Stool objective: odor to be as pleasant as possible and to semi-float.

4.  Long study session.

Dream recall: 1 dreams recalled.

Dream recalled was challenged by going to bed too late after eating out with family. Diet was disrupted by the amount of food eaten, mainly. The outing was a large family gathering in an Arab restaurant to celebrate my mother's birthday. Bread was said to be good, but I don't eat anything with gluten in it. The dessert - baklava and similar - also looked great, but I don't consume sugar. The lamb apparently tender, but I am a vegetarian. The idle talk felt like when you go with a wicker basket to fetch water from a well. So, finally, a yogi is like a wet blanket in any given outing. I finally had lentil soup, salad, hummus, and some pickled veggies and tea. Life goes on.

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

PM Practice:

Long study session with 100 cycles of Thokar Kriya (over one hour).

30/30 minutes, breath infusion/meditation.

Naad was blasting from left ear and required immediate attention. Little thoughts produced during the meditation.
