ॐ नमः शिवाय

AM Practice

Woke up at 4:00 AM (Brahma-Muhurta). Practice was standard overall and lasted approximately 65 minutes.

Svadhyaya: Continued second round of “Anu Gita Explained”.

Dedication: 5-minute mantra session and Puja doing Tratak (eye concentration) on effigy of Lord Shiva using a Maalaa.

Breath Infusion: 30 minutes of Bhastrika prânâyâma while doing several asanas. Infusion emphasis was on the lower trunk and feet.

Meditation: Consisted of 30 minutes with concentration on Naad sound after bringing the concentration slowly to the back of the head. Naad was stronger coming from the left ear. Naad faded away towards the middle of the practice, and then concentration on the back of the head was continued.

Spiritual State of Mind and Sadhana Planning:

1.    Doing as much Bhastrika prânâyâma as possible.

2. Increasing meditation quality and time has been challenged due to social commitments.

3.  Listening to Naad during the day while in the midst of chores, this as a mantra and spiritual reminder.

4.  Thought control and tracing of thoughts.

Dream recall: Two dreams recalled.

PM Practice consisted of 30 minutes breath infusion in different asanas, followed by the same time of meditation. Naad sound was very strong from both ears, with a higher pitch node coming from the left one. Stayed tuned to Naad with effort most of the time.
