Woke up at 3:00 AM (Brahma-Muhurta). Read the Gita till 5:30 AM. Practice was good and lasted over one hour.

1. As little interaction with others as possible.
2. Eat as little as possible.
3. Study session.
4. Solar gazing and sunbathing.
5. Thokar Kriya pranayam.
Svādhyāya (स्वाध्याय): Study of several spiritual books by the same author.
Ishvara Pranidhana (ईश्वर प्रणिधान): Pray to the Mother for Quiet in the Mind, Purity, Calm, and Peace (the greatest of prayers, according to Sri Aurobindo).

PM Practice
Studied most of the day and also learned quite a few things from posts in this forum. Surprise, I am so delighted!
Was able to squeeze 58 cycles of Thokar Kriya pranayama in preparation for the afternoon practice.
Breath infusion was very strong. I have been rehearsing a series of new asanas, which I can squeeze, without hurrying, into a 35-minutes practice, soliciting Kundalini up sushumna twice, once in the middle in agnisara asana, another at the end, right before meditation, after 3 kneeling postures. They are quite strenuous. All this will be the subject of a new video that I will post soon for correction by the Acharya.
The breath infusion was so strong that I sweated profusely and fell into meditation seeing wave after wave of blue-green energy inside the head, coming from the bottom. Naad literally pulled me into the meditation by itself, as a result when I looked at the clock, expecting to have been meditating for 5 minutes, 20 minutes have elapsed.
Also, after lunch I had a short OBE while lying on the floor with the head tilted back (Astral Projection book). The symptoms of the phase ensued, tingling/vibration on the left calf, the ability to see thousands of lines of fine print passing through the closed eyes, when all of a sudden, attention came out of the body and saw me on the floor and everything else in the room in a yellow vision, as if a filter had been used that would only allow for yellow light to go through. I woke up startled.
