ॐ नमः शिवाय

AM

Woke up at 5:00 AM (Brahma-Muhurta). Practiced yoga all day.

Austerities:

1.   Social interaction kept to a bare minimum, so as to concentrate fully on the practice of yoga.

2.   Restrictive diet on track. Partial fast yesterday for 1/3 day after feeling challenged by head congestion. Today, as every Friday, is water-only from breakfast to Saturday’s breakfast.

Study: Study of same spiritual books from same author, including summary, drawings and notes, resumed.

Additional Spiritual Practice:

1.    Tratak on Sun on stand-by, cold and totally cloudy outside.

2.    Conducted rounds of Thokar Kriya prânâyâma.

Breath Infusion: Practice of 30 minutes was standard for the AM, and it was partly challenged by right nostril blocked at the beginning of the practice and some runny nose. Kundalini solicited twice up sushumna applying locks.

Meditation: Meditation on Naad for 30 minutes.

Dream recall: Two dreams recalled.

PM

Very strong prânâyâma practice for 35 minutes.

Meditation was long but challenged by thoughts at first from a long time ago, welling up from the subconscious, Naad sound helped to concentrate after an initial struggle. Naad sound was very strong coming from both ears.
