YOGA:
Yoga practice this AM allowed for some intense air intake. I have been practicing with Michael over the past days and keeping up with him during the session is no small feat. The opportunity to practice like so with Michael for me is as good as it gets. When I express such his answer is typically that one has to simply do wherever he or she is regardless of the opportunity to be in the presence of the guru. I am forever grateful.
I am more and more able to feel some intricacies involved in the breath of fire. It is not just getting in and out fast, simple hyperventilation, certain postures unsuspected at that will allow to thrust the air into the system in a certain way, and permit sensing how that is taking place.
Some of the moves are so intense that the awareness has no other choice but to go inward where the energy is applied.
MEDITATION:
Upon sitting down to meditate, I applied pressure on the eyes while pushing the thumbs into the ears. Appeared from the right side a golden crescent moon. It moved gradually across to the left, and as it did the crescent changed to be symmetrically reversed. Then, it came to the center and became whole, with a dark circle in the middle. The rest of the meditation session went on normally or as usual for me.
When Michael asked me about how my practice went when we were done, I replied as I just wrote and added that I was very joyful. This subtle eye manifestation used to be much easier/accessible to me, but on account of neglecting the practice for so long a time I have to again forge my way back. Michael once told me that I should consider myself fortunate to be getting some results at all, since I was so insulting to the path.
SUBTLE CONTACT:
Half way into the practice I sort of recalled that I had a higher contact in the subtle; However, I can't recall at all.
OTHERS:
Need to reread and study first chapter of meditation pictorial, as prescribed by the author in order to sort out my meditation.
Need to read Uddhava-Gita in order to understand more regarding social implications and sort out social affairs presented in dreams.
