Practice:
Session lacked vigor. Body was hard to stretch. The routine was shortened to much an extent.
Energy: The energy did not feel awaken, and the body did not charge.
Attention was repeatedly directed towards the bottom, in an attempt to observe and understand.
Meditation:
Naad frequency was perceptible. The body was not charged enough to allow for a better and longer meditation.
Goals/Objectives:
Adjustment-1: 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.
Adjustment-2: more focus on internalization and especially what goes on regarding lower part of the body during practice.
Adjustment-3: redefine my progress, not be so rushed by stripping practice of signs of precipitation and eagerness. Time lost will not be made up. Humble aims will assist in keeping the focus on the basics.
Book Reading: consisted of the "Yoga Sutras". Enlightenment in practical terms!
Subtle body ventures/ interests recalled: dealing with past marital relationship.

Practice:
Session lacked stamina. Body wouldn’t stretch. The routine was shortened to a great extent. Cold weather yoga to me is tough yoga. Muscles are very difficult to warm up and not much air can be let in.

Mon. - 10/15/2012
Practice:
Session had stamina. Body was stretched liberally. The routine was shortened to much an extent due to time constraint.
The weather let up today, practice area was aired, and breath was adequate as air could be taken in (in the first place). Practice was possible and made sense. However, I need to get used to the idea that winter will set in for a few moons very soon.
Energy: The energy awakened, and the body charged.
Attention was repeatedly directed towards the bottom, in an attempt to observe, and understand.
Meditation:
Naad frequency was perceptible.
Naad frequency was perceived clearly at the left as a fine bell. Back of the head meditation was done in an attempt to calm the mind before sleep and also to try to keep objectivity about slipping into sleep. The whole night felt like I did not sleep and that I was still trying to sleep. Although I awoke surprisingly refreshed and well rested, I overslept.
