ॐ नमः शिवाय

AM

Woke up at 4:00 AM (Brahma-Muhurta). Practiced yoga all day.

Austerities:

1.    Social interaction kept to a minimum.

2.    Restrictive diet on track. Now consists of one day water-only fast per week (Fridays), the rest of the week no solid food after lunch. This last part is a hard Tapasya that takes time and will to conquer.

Study: Study of several spiritual books by the same author continued. Continued reading canto 11, General History, of Srimad Bhagavatam (Uddhava Gita), translation by Srila Prabhupada.

Additional Spiritual Practice:

1.    Sungazed for 2 minutes, 20 sec. Cautious daily increments of 5-10 seconds.

2.    Visit to South Florida Hindu Temple for Satsang, reading and meditation.

Breath Infusion: Standard practice of 30 minutes. Used different floor asanas. Kundalini solicited twice up sushumna applying locks.

Meditation: Meditation on Naad for 30 minutes, thoughts continue to be a challenge.

Dream recall: 2 dreams recalled.

PM

Practice of breath infusion for 30 minutes was mild due to late start and a tired body (event at Hindu Temple dragged for a long time). Same solicitation of Kundalini as per AM. Naad meditation on back of head for 40 minutes.
