Today's session consisted of 60 minutes of Breath Infusion.
I decided to end each posture with a few breaths of Bhastrika (I am doing Kapalbhati) and then applying the locks.
the results were very intense!
At least 4-5 times ending each posture I could feel small charge rising/expanding through half the spine when applying the locks, especially when I bended my back a bit, and 2 times I could feel the root being stimulated with heat expanding a bit from that point with energy moving sensation. I did sense something going on with my head and that the energy is about to take over my entire body, but the charge was probably not strong enough to make it all the way to the head.
some electric sensation was felt as well at the back of the spine.
When having done the kneeling posture, as standing up straight to do the locks I felt that I am holding a charge that could be felt through the system thus I felt a heavy feeling while standing up. As I applied the locks the charge expressed itself as heat rising/expanding through half the body.
Usually after about 10-15 minutes of practice energy seems to be felt when applying locks.

Bending the back is dangerous if you have not mastered the locks and if you are not in the habit of automatically looking down in the body to see what kundalini is doing. You must also master what is called check the breath diffusion.
What is that?
That is when after several breaths in bhastrika or kapalabhati, the student stops on an inhale (or an exhale) and then the student applies very efficient locks instantly and then the student looks down in the chest region and checks to see how the system is spreading the diffusing the stored breath energy.
What is the system doing with the energy?
Where is it going?
The student does this and when the student notices that all the recently stored energy is diffused, the student makes a decision as to what to do next, as to whether to begin another breath infusion session; as to if to change posture; as to if to tighten the locks some more and pull back the neck into the throat more; as to whether some bliss energy or electric energy is moving somewhere?

Do not change the posture of the back if you have not checked to be sure that the locks are applied. In addition no change of back posture should be sudden. It should be gradual so that you can check on what kundalini is doing, because otherwise a change in posture might result in kundalini shooting into the brain and your losing control of the body, which will then fall to the ground and you will find yourself back in the body after some seconds or after 3 minutes for the most, and then you will realize that the body fell to the ground and that kundalini is back down in muladhara after having struck into the head of the subtle body.
----------------
Heat at the base chakra is good at your stage of practice but it means that the energy is converting into heat. This will change in time. Be sure that you apply the anus lock rigidly because otherwise the energy will leak out through a tiny hole at the base chakra, at its bottom, and then kundalini will not rise because of it being vented there.
Mentally push down on that heat to compress it from all sides. Also when you begin the breathing again direct it mentally to the place where the heat was felt.

MiBeloved's Response:
When doing the kneeling posture, be sure to apply all locks tightly, especially the neck lock and anus lock, before you go into the standing posture. Right now you are feeling the heat rising because the charge is not concentrated and compressed into the muladhara base chakra. The charge is scattered and then it converts into heat and is diffused inefficiently. But this is still progress and as you practice this will change.
If you fail to apply the locks before standing, then when this changes and the charges does go to muladhara chakra, you will be knocked out and your body will fall to the ground when you stand, since kundalini will quickly shoot through the spine with such speed that you will be caught off guard.
This is why at this stage of practice now train yourself to first hold the locks very tightly and keep the neck lock with the chin drawn back to the throat before you change a posture in this procedure.
One other thing is that you can become a really genuine teacher of this, but you have to get some training.
