PM Practice (previous): brief stretches.
And, finishing "Sleep Paralysis”.
AM Practice:
Postures-breathing-life force energizing session for 30 minutes, including 10 minutes warm up;
Then, an attempt to meditate for 10 minutes.
Under the weather feeling counteracted the practice as well as the meditation that followed.
Kundalini awoke and presented colored foreground as warm up began.
Meditation:
Naad frequency was perceptible within my usual configuration, but was not focused on sufficiently. However, it was very loud at the left side.
Focus during meditation was erratic. Body is still under the weather.
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".
Enlightenment in practical terms!
Subtle body ventures/ interests recalled: random wanderings of the subtle body shared via email with MB.

AM Practice (mid-morning):
Postures-breathing-life force energizing session for 45 minutes, including 10 minutes warm up;
Then, an attempt to meditate for 15 minutes.
Kundalini awoke and was easily aroused.
Camel pose modified to accommodate kriya locks manifested a distinct feeling of a mixture of warm and tingling sensations dispersing all behind the body.
Other compressions produced intense energy manifestations in the trunk of the body.
I make effort to pay attention all along the session, but particularly during soliciting of kundalini.
Some confidence is returning along with tolerance for the diverse, varied and unpredictable ways in which kundalini may come up and even linger about.
I haven’t lost it, it will settle down, I am not in the Looney tunes.
I am still on my guard, trying not to have to run into Guru for reassurance.
I noted that when the system is sufficiently charged and obstructions to the flow of energy are lessened, kundalini does not need the locks, not the one that I am aware that I am applying (purposefully) to rise as mentioned here by Yogiraja:
There are many locks besides the declared ones like the anus lock (asvini mudra) the sex lock (vajroli), the stomach pull up lock and those others which are mentioned in the classic literature.
These locks are the bare minimum but many persons writing books and putting articles on the internet state these as the locks as if these are the only locks.
Free yourself from these ideas.
Also, kundalini rising may not be limited to happening during session alone. As I could feel that the system was still charged and the energy moving; and while waiting for food to heat up, I pressurized the body in a certain manner and had to promptly drop to my knees to control the wave of energy I was to expect from the bright foreground that came up right there in the kitchen (I was alone). There was no happenstance, it’s all good.
Meditation:
Naad at its normal source of the right side was too faint. On the other hand at the left side was a very loud and clear naad frequency. I eventually went to the left at the back of the mind space. Once there I thought that perhaps I should still try more to the proper location, then I realized that this was going to take effort to relocate now that I was focused on the other side, and just let it be.
Goals/Objectives are observed.

Subtle body ventures/ interests recalled: guidance & random family association.
;-) … I am being told that energy is transferred in two ways to one’s guru. Before me appears two buckets by a wall, but my focus is only on one. Then I am told the first type of energy is mine… (I can’t make out the word I put on paper)….
I do not recall lucidity during this subtle event, only a memory (that I awoke, noted, and returned to sleep). I remember just hearing the information but cannot associate a person with it.
;-) … I am with my sister, we notice a lazy relative. Another relative is tending to a pool. There are red ants that have a function to accomplish in relation to water; there is sweetness about them. I inform that some ants have large jaws they use to put prey to sleep to come back for them later.
