Tues. - 10/23/2012

Yoga-Breath of fire practice session:

Session was compromised. Body was only minimally and briefly charged.

Untamed Energy:

Blockage on the left side involving lower back, gluts, thigh and leg, is fighting back. This targeted session is very demanding; it mostly deals with a difficulty.

The more the blockage is addressed the more it is exposed, as it creates resistance in the form of quick backs.

Efforts were made to keep the awareness in the lower part of the body, in an attempt to observe and understand. Energy was not fostered upward, but to spread out in other parts of the body.

Looking down into the body in an attempt to see into the subtle body does not show anything in particular.

Mind focus:

Subtle sound frequency was perceptible.

Naad frequency was listened to at the back of the head with a few attempts to refocus.

Goals and Objectives:

> More focus on internalization and especially what goes on regarding lower part of the body during practice.

> 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 Readings:

The "Yoga Sutras" of Pantajali; Enlightenment in practical terms!

The book is as though a code that can only be approached by practicing yogis.

So even divine words in their purest forms can be deemed useless; unless they are refined, broken down, made digestible and perhaps palatable.

Subtle body ventures or interests recalled synopses:

:-) ... awoke with impressions of dream of looking for something.

MiBeloved's Response:

Initially looking down into the body during breath infusion in various postures, does not show anything because there is no developed sensual perception in that way. Vision in a material body means perception of shape and color outside of the body. This is the expectation when one looks down into the body. One wants to see through the physical vision process just as one normally does.

However if you persist with this, that will change over time. The first part of that change is when your vision interest is separated from your optical nerve system. Right now it is channeled through the physical optic system but if you keep looking into the body during practice, the vision interest will eventually retract itself from the optic system.

When this occurs you will find that your focus during the practice will become sharper, as if you turned away from the frontal part of the head and is facing down.

Then over time, you will develop various types of psychic perception.
