Wed. - 10/03/2012

PM Practice (previous): Very mild yoga stretches, body was very resistant and did not charge.

Then reading of "Sleep Paralysis", and a study of "Meditation Pictorial".

AM Practice:

Kriya Yoga session was for 70 minutes, including 10 minutes of warm up;

Then, an attempt to meditate for 30 minutes.

Session was extensive with deep stretches and okay breathing, and allowed to work on left hip/leg and the back.

Kundalini awoke and presented colored foreground upon the first attempt to get the back stretched, as I first began warm, initially a warm sensation run all over the back. Locks were not applied. This was repeated a couple of minutes later as I am still trying to stretch/ warm the back. I decided not to push kundalini for the rest of the session.

The body was yielding easily, and deep stretches were causing energy movements when coming out of them.

As the session progressed it became evident that kundalini was lurking, I had to be careful with all movements and also stopped at times to let the pressure ease as I meditated focusing the mind more. I was able to continue the session.

With the eye closed, in the head could be seen a hazy dark color cotton ball size with a black space in the middle (as if it had a seed).

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. As I prepared for sleep a bright yellow space, about 1/2 inch appeared at the right upper side, slightly above the eye level.

Goals/Objectives are observed.

Adjusted: shifting paradigm of focusing on excitements around 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 (4): work & study reflections & MIB.

;-)... looking at the records of a student and then I noticed that the objects around me were subtle. At first when I noticed that I thought that things were odd, as in not ordinary. Other notes from the dream: ...on student....impression of the place...

:-)... I am with my assistant in a car. She is struggling to get the car into a very narrow street. We get to return an item that turned out to belong to me. The merchant just accepted the long instrument back... Then we are walking down a pavement with other people and I realized that I did not say thank you for her help. So I give her some coins, some of which were dollar coins but they looked squarer, for her daughter to play with.

:-)... I am taking a crash course to take an exam. The teacher to the class asks why we feel that this can help us versus us doing it on our own. I raise my hand and say "procrastination". I feel that I passed the exam and telling that to my dad.

:-)... I seeing or reading about Michael in the Amazon forest. He is writing a book, I can see the writing on a tripod holding a large page. There is a giant iguana sitting by, like a dog protecting him. I think to myself, how interesting, what nice this must be and how this guy must be amazing. Then I think how is that possible, the large iguana are only the subtle world of South America, and this is happening in the physical world.

Last night I read about subtle body paralysis in "Sleep Paralysis", still can't figure it out evidently.

Wow, dear Gurubhai Surya Ji!

That you can cover all this, and then go to work, and manage, brother, is always a source of inspiration here!

May I always wish you the best?

May I intercede to Maheshwara, Mahayogin Shiva, on your behalf?

Hari OM!

I appreciate your encouragements Alfredo prabhu, and can use some interceding.

For, as you see my Guru always pushes for more heat, just like a drill sergeant he never lets up.

We are only aware of our own lot. So many are dealing with more and worse, they are brave and courageous.

I only bitch and moan every step of the way. And, this whining kitten is getting more tough love.
