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.
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.
Efforts made to relax the neck muscle, against the stressors of life.
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.
This insight/sight is done by self luminescence of prana!
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 was not sufficient to cause the attention to be totally absorbed in naad. The presence of the thought forming region, the intellect even when inactive was felt.
Naad immersion is insufficient to relocate both the self and the frequency source from the original position of the node to the frontal intellectually active zone.
Goals and Objectives–long term:
*Subtle body detection: looking down in the trunk more.
*Deepen connection with naad, the transcendental sound frequency.
*Integrate and practice distractive thought line annihilation method.
Book Readings:
The "Yoga Sutras" of Patanjali; Enlightenment in practical terms!
Subtle body ventures or interests recalled synopses/ retell:
:-) ... was a cowherd boy learning from more experienced individuals, I might have just been going along with them on a round for the fun of it. They appeared very expert.
:-) ... I realized I was lucid and was having a lucid dream. I was very excited to have the opportunity all along. I decide to soar up and turning on myself at a high speed. Then I stopped high up in the sky, and wondered what would happen if I came close to the ground. I found myself in a community location in Africa. I was walking on the street among people knowing that I was just passing through as one who is in a lucid dream. I went pass a man sitting at a corner who was roasting some okra for personal consumption. I asked him one or two.
I wondered what effect that would have on my subtle body (since I am not physical). I then found myself in what was to be my neighborhood. On the road side there were two green hats on the floor, on tall grass. I read what they said and realized that they must belong to a conscientious neighbor, one of them was saying that "....leads to anger". It reminded a hat of mine "raw foods rock".
Then I am at the neighbors, they are a bunch of kids... the dogs come to me. They are huge dogs and are too friendly with me. Being incommodated as more of a cat person, I start to walk away from them, but they follow me and all of a sudden it seems like all the dogs of the vicinity joined in. I take off. I soar up and start to have fun in the atmosphere. I stare at the sky, it appears dark and covered I focus my eyes (as if going for the third eye) and it clears, I can see the stars everywhere around me, and they feel very close against the sound blue background.
I think that I have been on my adventure enjoying lucidity for long enough, and that I may be late. I heard an alarm. I decide to return, I am aware that this is not the coolest part of lucid dreaming. I am anticipating the turbulent landing into my physical vehicle. It seemed like a plane coming down. I am now on the other side the clouds, ready for contact. I can't observe all that is going. It gets kind of dark. I position horizontally above my inert body. I feel much commotion. My knowledge is that the head is going to synchronize first (that is what I noted on paper).
I hear loud sounds. I see inside my head and there is a luminescent line. Finally, as my legs synchronize, I drop abruptly in the physical, so much so that I lift of what seem to be an inflatable bed and bounce back almost out of the bed. I awake, and see that I brought some objects from the astral world. As I try to process; I feel very tired and out of sorts. They are a few CD's. My sister (I don't recognize her as one in this life) comes out with more CDs. I realize that I was sleeping outside under the stars. I actually awake in my real bed. I realize that it was an astral projection within a dream. I feel exhausted.
