Hello all,

Not really much to report..

Have added a few more postures to Breath Infusion, and also doing the mouth movements as MB when inhaling and exhaling, making it much easier to track the breathing, and much more effortless doing Bhastrika.

While not having really results these past few days.. have been doing at least 1 hour of Breath infusion the past few days and yesterday about 1:45 hour, That's a new high-score.. but won't matter if nothing happened I guess, or maybe it makes my body at least more "prepared" for next Breath Infusion days.

That's a long time. But hey Rishi Singh Gherwal recommended in his Kundalini book 3 straight hours of Bhastrika, and MB was told by Srila Yogeshwarananda exactly the same time, so there is some time or 1:25 hour to get there.

The experience that happened to me is exactly the same one described by Dean in his pranayama practice yesterday, check it out. I now feel that if one follows those squatting postures, this will invariably occur, but the locks are paramount. With this I mean neck, belly, lower back and anus.

Kundalini is wayward and does not want to be controlled. Breath energy is wayward too. Keep the focus inside the body while practicing and take time also to practice pratyahar as explained in chapter 1 of the Meditation Pictorial book.

Getting proficient at the breathing is a big part to master. Seems that you are going to get that under your thumb first. This is great. Then focus on either the locks or the internalization of the attention and the ability to track how the energy is diffused when you hold air in or out after a sequence of breaths.

It will all come together in time.

Even though it is a positive force, prana will not let you control it either. So as you practice more and more you will get more of a grip on it.

Locating muladhara chakras, tracking the sex energy in the organs, all of these aspects take practice to master. Once you are sincere, in time it will all fit into place.

The entire psyche will rebel once it gets to understand that you have become crazy with the idea of being a serious yogi. So there will be resistance even of the tiniest of cells in the physical body and even from the smallest nadis in the subtle body. But if you push on, bit by bit, you will take territory and function more and more as the ruler of City of Nine Gates.

Today I have spent about 30 min doing some squatting postures, though always when I stand up from them to get down on my knees even though I do the neck lock as far as possible my head starts to get dizzy, sometimes to the point you start to hear very loud noise in ears, and you can't help it but wanting to lay down till you come back to yourself (losing touch with reality)

I was wondering, when you spend the last 5 min in squeeze position, do you do Bhastrika the whole 5 min nonstop? or every 1min or so you hold breath in while still sitting in same position, finishing the whole 5 min and then standing up and doing all the locks?

Though even having failed attempt to raise kundalini, sometimes after a breathing sequence I feel this arousal kind of feeling in my body like I have to stretch my body in all kind of ways.

MiBeloved's Response:

Kundalini is coming up without enough infusion with prana. It is coming up with apana and prana. When the apana hits the buddhi organ, then that is the result of it.

Keep practicing, as you do the breathing try more and more to instruct the system to extract the apana carbon dioxide through the lungs.

What is happening is that the fresh air is pushing the stale air around the pubic loop and then that attacks kundalini and then it rises up the spine and enters the brain under the joint air (stale air+ fresh air)

Work to stop this from happening by practicing to extract the stale air though the lungs and only compressing the fresh air to go around the loop.

Either of these systems of a full five minutes or stopping frequently will work. The measure of it is based on your sensing if you should stop or not. Stop if you feel that the system is not absorbing any more air and needs to distribute what you compressed. If it is distributing as fast as it is compressing, then there is no need to stop. That is how that is measured but you know this by developing a keen inner sense to keep track of what is going in with the infused energy.

MiBeloved's Response:

This is correct. Follow your intuition to stretch here and stretch there, especially to stretch to one side and then feel the tingling of kundalini moving through the nadis on that side and then to stretch to the other side. Also sometimes one may wiggle the body or stamp the foot and jerk the arm. It all depends on what you are intuitively inspired to do but be sure that you are internally paying full attention to what is going on and do not space out. This is not a LSD fun trip. This is a serious matter. This is not smoking ganja. This is kriya yoga.
