तीव्रसंवेगानाम आसन्नः ॥२१॥ = tīvrasaṃvegānām āsannaḥ

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

AM

Woke up at 3:00 AM (Brahma-Muhurta), it was when the life force told me, all of a sudden, it was enough sleep, as I had gone to bed early the night before. Practiced yoga most of the day, with some social interaction.

Austerities:

1.    Restrictive diet on track. No solid food after lunch.

Study: Study of same spiritual books from same author, including summary, drawings and notes, continued. Read also Swami Shivananda’s “Kundalini Yoga”.

Additional Spiritual Practice:

1.    Tratak on Sun for 2.0 minutes.

Breath Infusion: Practice of 30 minutes was good for the AM.

Meditation: Meditation on Naad for 30 minutes, challenged as usual in the AM, by thoughts.

Dream recall: 2 dreams recalled. The first one was very long, in a one-on-one interaction with Mahayogi Michael Beloved. It went on and on until I woke up for the needful. Was this an astral interaction? I don’t think so. Unless I am corrected on this, I believe this was a figment of my imagination, the result of that mental regurgitation that occurs when a specific topic or person is entertained for most of the day, or a teaching or writing from that person is studied all day long.

PM

Strong prânâyâma practice for 40 minutes. There was a deliberate action to do some asanas, especially those I conduct seated on a stool, in a slow fashion, concentrating and pumping in the closest I can get to Bhastrika nowadays.

Meditation for 40 minutes was good. Naad was quite strong throughout the back of the head and led the meditation for some time with fewer interruptions than the AM.
