ॐ नमः शिवाय

AM Practice

Woke up at 4:00 AM (Brahma-Muhurta). Practice was good and lasted over one hour.

Tapasyā (टपस्या):

1.    As little interaction with others as possible.

2.    After water fast, corrective dieting: citric and juicing.

3.    Study session.

4.    Solar gazing and sunbathing.

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).

Prāṇāyāma (प्राणायाम): 30 minutes of breath infusion. Used all new floor asanas learned. Kundalini was solicited twice up sushumna applying locks.

Saṃyama (संयम): Meditation on Naad for 30 minutes. Pranava was quite strong coming from both ears, higher left.

Dream recall: One long dream all night long with Swami Hariharananda Giri presiding it. I haven't dreamt of Swamiji for years. Several instructions were given.

=================================

PM Practice

Satsang, lecture and meditation at the South Florida Hindu Temple.

30 minutes breath-of-fire.

20 minutes Naad meditation. Naad was blasting from the left ear. Searched and found the node within the outer sound, and stayed there. Thoughts from a long gone friend entered the meditation and were recognized and scorched with Naad.
