तीव्रसंवेगानामआसन्नः ॥२१॥ = tīvrasaṃvegānāmāsannaḥ

For those who practice forcefully, in a very intense way, the skill of yoga will be achieved very soon.

I have not been filing practice reports lately because since I had the honor to start practicing with Acharya Ji almost every morning starting at 4 AM, I have been reassessing and regrouping, so to speak, weeding out all the many mistakes, assumptions, prejudices, that one, unfortunately, introduces into one's practice when proper guidance is not available, because, as the Acharya categorically stated: "This cannot be learned through tapes".

But before continuing please allow me to state my most profound gratitude with deep respect and appreciation to the Acharya Michael Beloved, for his patience with me, for the time he takes away from his important practice to lend me a hand, and say that I hope I will be eternally grateful, and can repay this boon in some way in the future.

Om Gam Ganapataye Namah!

Today we did, under his strict guidance, approximately one hour of stretching and postures, all along doing rapid breathing.

I am finally getting a hold on the locks (anus, sex, belly, throat, psychological/pratyahara) - (Thomer, you were right about the locks, we will discuss later further).

Acharya Ji has been on contact with Swami Hariharananda in the astral, as Swami ji has voiced an ongoing concern about my yoga practice development. For this I am blessed. Jay Guruji! Hariharanandaji was also present today during the 40 minutes meditation that followed the breath infusion practice, and for the first time I felt his presence. He has instructed that I am open to his grace in a specific way: Guru Kripa Hi Kevalam! And that I do the easiest postures with pranayama in the morning (body is quite stiff), and the more difficult asanas, also with rapid breathing, in the afternoon. His instructions will be followed.

Alfredo prabhu,

Thank you ever so much for sharing all these moments of such crucial instructions.

And, as we realize concern for other is a true sacrifice; it is not taken for granted.

Namaste!

Alfredo,

The intensity of your practice is encouraging for all the neophytes on this site. We all have arrived at the realization that we have lost precious time in this life and now have to do our best to dig into our subconscious to re-connect with our spiritual practice from our past life so we can reach the dimension where our siddha brothers reside.   

Thank you very much for sharing!

Wow, Dean, you humble me!

I have always admired you. Thank you.
