ॐ नमः शिवाय
AM Practice
Svadhyaya: Continue review of “Uddhava Gita Explained”, Chapter 15.
Dedication: Practice dedicated to Lord Shiva.
Breath Infusion: 20 minutes of Bhastrika prânâyâma in various asanas. Kundalini was solicited once successfully.
Meditation: Meditation was conducted by concentrating on the back of the head and thus warding off thoughts. It lasted approximately 20 minutes.
Dream recall: One dream sequences recalled.
PM Practice: PM practice was the heavier today due to business commitment. 30 minutes of breath infusion, followed by 30 minutes of meditation in the same manner as in the AM session. Kundalini was solicited again, but failed to arise due to lack of energy. However, meditation was of a higher quality as the concentration on the back of the head, towards the end, lead the effort into Dhyana longer than any of the sporadic episodes experienced yesterday, so there was some progress after all.
Question: While one is concentrating on the back of the head, Naad sound is often there, more at the beginning after the breath infusion. Shall one follow it, or tune to it. Or simply continue with the back-of-the-head effort? Or both?

Alfredo's query:

MiBeloved's Response:
The process is to use naad sound, to link to naad sound if you can do that successfully. If you find that when you link to naad sound you remain in naad effortless and you are not pulled out of it or ejected from it, then remain with naad.
This would mean then that the first effort is to:
- Go to back of head
- Link to naad there
- Remain with naad if you can effortlessly do so and you are not put out of naad by some compelling force.
- If this linkage into naad deepens, then you will be in naad for a time as if you are frozen in a chamber and then you will find yourself looking forward into the frontal part of the head. This will be beneficial because you might see third eye open or some other supernatural event taking place or you might see that the front is devoid of images as if the image maker (buddhi) was totally absent, as if it no longer exists.
If that fails, if you find that when you link to naad you cannot remain there as if you are pulled out or repelled out, then give up the effort for linking to naad and instead make the effort to remain at the back of the head while hearing naad.
In this process naad will be close or distant, depending on how well the breath infusion session was (if it was done before the meditation).
When you remain in the back of the head like this, with a link to naad which is near or far from the core-self, then be alert to notice if you are relocated to the front part of the head or if your attention jumps or channels through to the font of the head to be under the influence of the image maker (the buddhi organ).
Take note of the force which pulls you from the back of the head and decide to give it some resistance.
Take note of how long it takes for you to become weak, or to lose control and then find yourself in the front of the head or looking into the front of the head under the spell of the image maker.
This observation is vital and over time, it will give you the power to resist the image maker.
