ॐ नमः शिवाय

AM Practice

Practice was good overall and lasted 65 minutes.

Svadhyaya: Continued with “Meditation Pictorial”, Chapter 14: “Thought Concentration”.

Dedication: 5-minute mantra session invocation of Lord Shiva. Practice dedicated to Lord Shiva.

Breath Infusion: 30 minutes of Bhastrika prânâyâma while doing several asanas. Breath infusion was doubled up in effort, the bellows verily. Sweated profusely. Infusion emphasis was on the feet.

Meditation: Consisted of 30 minutes with strict concentration on Naad sound. I can stay tuned to Naad for longer periods. This sound - Pranava – is a joy to apperceive.

Spiritual State of Mind: Practice started around 10 AM.  By then Rajas was predominant. Although perceptions are acuter, they are of a grosser quality compared to the early morning, thus less Sattvic and prone to swing.

Dream recall: 3 dreams recalled distinctly.
