AM Practice:
Kriya Yoga session was for 40 minutes, including 10 minutes of warm up; followed by an attempt to meditate for 20 minutes.
Kundalini arose brightly at the beginning of warm up. Then I did not try to get to it in earnest afterwards. Last night is still fresh. Body felt very resistant especially about my left hip as usual.
Serious poses were not really gotten into including the one illustrated and sequenced below.
Body-core burn:
That pose is assumed and breath of fire is performed to satisfaction, while the body is contracted and the locks applied. Then the knees go to the floor, and the hands reach for backwards for the heels. Next, many times I experience a blast of kundalini energy.
It is a pose I learned from Michael (just like all the others pretty much) this one a few months ago, and for the first time experienced stomach burning. When I posted that he replied that such is positive for the student, so I was encouraged to work on it.
I arranged for a video to be made, but unfortunately the individual cannot find it.
Meditation:
I stayed as much as possible in inner naad it was relatively loud. Generalized/ outer naad was very loud. At first the loudness was making focus difficult. Eventually inner naad was in and out.
At night naad is very loud before sleep and upon waking up. I made an effort to trace the dream because as I tried I got distracted to listen to naad instead.
Then naad was clearly to the left. It was to me the same as the inner/finer naad of the right but louder and stronger.
Perceptions shifted on two occasions. And at one point it seemed that the sounds had a rhythm.
Goals/Objectives are observed.
Book Reading consisted of the "Yoga Sutras".
Mundane Subtle Interactions Recall consists of work.
:-) ...I was at work, doing exactly my work routine...then I open an envelope that has candies in it along with some type of card to contribute for some social event of one of the co-workers... my assistant is also there... some young school kids misbehave I discipline one of them.
Those kids come up to the staff bathroom, and they are annoying.
I look forward to the weekend counting the days, just go back there at night. I might as well be one the mice, they have a good reason to be in that third floor's kitchen at night.
A nightmare would be more adventure.

PM Practice: light stretches for 15 minutes.
AM Practice:
Kriya Yoga session was for 75 minutes, including 10 minutes of warm up; followed by an attempt to meditate for 30 minutes.
Session was extensive and allowed to work on left hip and the back.
Kundalini was mild; it did not rise in any dramatic way.
Meditation:
Naad was very loud and seemed to be echoing all around in my head. However, the actual source seemed to be usual location at the right, but also to the left and even to the front.
Naad was listened to at sleep time.
Goals/Objectives are observed.
Book Reading consisted of the "Yoga Sutras".
Subtle body ventures/ interests recalled (2): a trip to MX, and impressions from work.
:-) ...I was in Mexico in an area that I have been at in a recent previous dream from what my mind was thinking in the dream. I was waiting to get a cab to cross over to the US side. It was unsafe; there were some rowdy and provocative females. I was speaking in Spanish and I was by myself on the trip.
:-) ... I am having impressions of being at work, and recall one co-worker in particular.

PM Practice: Decent kriya session with mild kundalini for 30 minutes followed by 10 minutes meditation with efforts to stay with naad.
Then reading of "Sleep Paralysis", and a study of "Meditation Pictorial".
AM Practice:
Kriya Yoga session was for 50 minutes, including 10 minutes of warm up; followed by an attempt to meditate for 10 minutes.
Session was extensive with deep stretches and okay breathing, and allowed to work on left hip and the back.
Kundalini awoke. It presented speckled foreground, intense colored foreground, like a “tiger eye” about the face area, so in the head. There was no loss of time.
Meditation:
Naad was very loud and seemed to be echoing all around in my head.
Efforts were made to listen to it at the normal location in the back right. I was eventually drawn to the left of the back of head.
Mental ideations were fewer.
Naad was listened at sleep time.
Goals/Objectives are observed.
Adjusted: shifting paradigm of focusing on excitements round kundalini manifestations to the basics of reading scriptures as indicated by repeated instructions and recently hard learned lessons.
Book Reading consisted of the "Yoga Sutras".
Subtle body ventures/ interests recalled (2): work & geo-social adventure.
:-) ...at work discussing business with one of my supervisors, I shared an idea with her and she replied that she hadn't thought about it that way... telecommuting...
She needed a long document promoting the agency translated in French, and I expressed that I had enough to do and that it was too short notice. She had to convince me...
It was real time in the troubled area in Mali.
;-) ... there were some foreign reporters commenting on the situation. I remember one of them in particular. A lot of people had fled. I could see that homes had been burnt, the edges of windows and doors were dark with soot. I could see the rebels destroying historical buildings. Reporters were addressing buildings that had interesting architecture with golden gems on top of them. I also had an aerial view which seemed to indicate that the area was a hill. (Unusual in flat desert areas). I was wondering about my aunt who lives in the North of the country. (Concern for others). The rationale of the rebels who are extremist Muslim fraction as presented in the dream for the destruction the buildings was that these buildings were the sites for blood sacrifices, an animistic practice.
