ॐ नमः शिवाय

AM Practice

Woke up at 4:00 AM (Brahma-Muhurta). Practice was standard and lasted over one hour. Upon awakening, the first thought that entered my mind was identified as coming from my sister. These are the type of family associations that impact the meditation effort in the AM, and that should be resolved satisfactorily.

Tapasyā (टपस्या):

1.    As little interaction with others as possible.

2.    Citric diet.

3.    Long study session.

4.    Thokar Kriya in between AM & PM practices.

5.    Sunbath and solar gazing.

Svādhyāya (स्वाध्याय): Continued study of several spiritual books by the same author.

Ishvara Pranidhana (ईश्वर प्रणिधान): Reflection on Shiva, to be fully occupied with Shiva alone. Offering of citric fruits to Lord Shiva.

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

Saṃyama (संयम): Meditation on Naad for 30 minutes.

Dream recall: Several dreams recalled. One of them was quite vivid and welcomed as it was pertaining to a feeling of healing and well-being related to the ability to exercise water sports, the implication being that the physical body is in good health, or in its way to it.
