Yoga-Breath of fire practice session:

Session was focused on the lower part of the body with a need of relatively more effort in the left thigh. Body felt rather tense.

Life Force Energy:

Shift in practice: attempts at willing the energy downward versus soliciting it to rise as usual.

And attempts were made to maintain locks until the energy dissipates, along with momentary deep breaths to increase breathing capability.

Some blockage felt in the neck and shoulder is interfering with the flow of energy, this is due to tension and pressure.

Compression was executed in a limited fashion, as attention/ will power followed the energy as it spread/ manifested, encouraging it to spread further, as well as shed insight/ light into the subtle body.

One aspect of the compression is more about the trail of pain at this stage. Bringing about an increased control over the life force energy.

Mind focus: a dynamic and exerted process of observing and analyzing by the mind and intellect.

Attention was generally maintained at the back of the mind-space. When predominant activities were perceived from the buddhi organ, the self turned to accept the situation, and then returned focus to naad or the back of the head. However the sources of the thought formations could not be determined with any precision whatsoever.

It is also noted that focus is not sufficient to cause the attention to be totally absorbed in naad. The presence of the thought forming region, the intellect even when inactive is felt. It is just as being concentrated the other way but aware that the TV is on in the room, somewhere in the background.

Goals and Objectives–long term:

Subtle body detection: looking down in the trunk more.

Book Readings:

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

Subtle body ventures or interests recalled synopses/ retell:

Some explanations regarding the functioning of the mind relating to some reading was reenacted, however details were confusing.

Reflections:

Still thinking, lest I stop imagining!
