Thurs. - 10/25/2012 – Yoga Saddhana
Yoga-Breath of fire practice session:
Session was challenging. Breathing was not as forceful and systematic. Body was successfully charged. The routine was modified to continue working on mid-section on downward.
Life Force Energy:
The energy was awakened, and arose.
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 resistance and quick back.
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 including the limbs.
Mind focus:
Subtle sound frequency was perceptible and loud.
Naad frequency was listened to at the back of the head with a few attempts to refocus.
Goals and Objectives – long term:
> Detecting the subtle body configuration:
- More focus on internalization and especially what goes on regarding lower part of the body during practice.
- Allow the energy to shed light into the obscure areas; it will show the way!
> Make sessions more targeted and purposeful.
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:
Random association in the subtle dimension due to past connection and endeavor.
Reflections:
I used feel disappointed that I had stopped recalling my dreams and was not recalling them right away. Now I can recall some dreams and feel depressed by the mundane nature of their content.
I notice that my dreams reflect the same proportion as my conscious reality. My daily awoken reality consists of at least 2/3 or 8 hours weekdays in the work place, approximately 1/3 family involvement, mainly during weekends, and the rest is about survival, principally sex which is all around and a regular intrusion and disruption. The intensity of the implications in any particular area or the gusto in consumption makes an additional great difference.
Objectively speaking this is progress, for an appropriate and successful cure only comes after a proper and complete diagnostic particularly on this lengthy and extensive path.
Providence creates the material opportunities (based on individual desires?, previous activities, among other factors), individual engages indiscriminately based on motivation, and through such activities consciousness is implicated and imbued. As a result the subtle body adjusts to the new imposed form, which in turn will produce a next body accordingly.
