(Previous) PM practice: short kundalini yoga session followed with a brief meditation and a reading of "Sleep Paralysis".
Practice:
Effective Prana-Yoga-Kundalini session for an hour, including 15 minutes of warm up; followed by an attempt to meditate an hour.
Energy was hard to come up during warm up. The system had not had adequate sleep. I only accessed my “yoga zone” by the end of the session.
I have tried to keep the eyes closed as much as possible that means that when I know that I don’t have to move by much I can keep going with my eyes closed. And I noticed that in that darkness I can “see/feel” my limbs act and move into the postures. A sort of phantom limb phenomena?
Maintaining the eyes closed more I was also able to note what is there before and after the bright kundalini energy manifestation. It is just like a firework for me right now. First its dark, kundalini solicited successfully, then comes up fiery colors of an explosion firework. After that lingers sparks, sort of white dots.
I could also notice that in some postures appear a dark blue/ indigo cloud(s) or ball(s) or perhaps circle(s).
Belly/ core body burning was done. It involves a burning sensation of the muscles/tissues from the belly radiating outwards into the back
Meditation allowed for a decent amount of attention to naad, the perception of which had momentarily shifted prior to starting the session.
Naad particularly in the beginning had a pulse to it. It was behaving like a pulsar of some sort. But at times I also thought it could be the echo of my heart beat reflecting in the channel.
“Stay there! And, don’t you move!”
Goals/Objectives are observed are as follows:
Main Goal to increase InSelfYoga or better focus on Guru's instructions:
- Learning to come down into the kneeling position after soliciting kundalini without losing pressure through locks valves.
- Focusing more concentration during practice sessions; by increasing awareness of pressure maintained under locks within movements of practice for a longer period of time.
- Increasing naad perception as well as immersion.
- Reading daily as prescribed!
- Improving dream realm extensions.
- Better time management in order to favor spiritual endeavors.
- Sustaining a diet that is accountable to practice.
Book Reading consisted of the "Yoga Sutras".
‘Stop the influence of the Self by the mento-emotional energy, whether such energy is shallow or deep, positive or negative; so as to redirect the Self inward, by systematic retraction of the senses’
Dreams as recalled consisted of work and former spiritual family.
:-) ... I was plugged to some type of sophisticated machine which in turn was connected to at least one woman bearing a child. One of my female co-worker was there monitoring the progress of the situation (delivery?). The connection was some type of computer (usb) stuff.
Such is my work, very intense and very involved. I am currently a Special Education Evaluation Coordinator for the District of Columbia Public Schools. So I need to coordinate the efforts of other teachers (general and special ed.) related services to include the Psychologists, the Speech and Language Pathologist, the Occupational Therapist, the Motor and Physical Therapist, the Pediatrician, and assess the child educational needs as well as obtaining critical information from the parents, in addition to collaborating with the representative from the schools (Principals, Assistant Principals or another Special Education Coordinator on the side of the school). All that in order to draft and finalize legally binding documentation (IEP) that will hold the State accountable for the education services of the children in need vis-a-vis No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Very often, lawyers and child advocates are also involved in the meetings.
Understanding the digital system of documentation and accountability alone is a quagmire. It takes at least a couple weeks to make ready for the 2 hour meeting. So these dreams are pointing to this absorption.
Post practice nap dream recall:
Kundalini volume was very loud and immersion was deeper in the frequency! I was wondering how much louder this could get inside my head.
:-)... I am at work and there is a radio that I am trying to turn down. I try to lower the volume, but it seems to be acting on its own even switching stations/ frequencies. I become concerned that people hear it. And I struggle to find a way to take care of the situation as if they are not supposed to hear this.
:-) ... I am walking down a nice downtown street listening to Swami. I do not recall where we had just left from or what we were doing, but I know we were coming from somewhere/something. I recalled the impressions of the dream from when you were saying that Kundalini (I knew you meant Nandini) had in fact joined Caitanya Pryia...from Buddhism...and that is how they came to Krishna Consciousness. And, I excitedly added that such was really interesting and that in fact a month or so ago I had given the website address to Caitanya Pryia. That I actually did. Both women are former god sisters of mine from the Hare Krishna faith, and mother Nandini passed away at least 5 years ago. And I don’t know anything about any relationship between the two.
