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 with family and we were learning about human anatomy...
:-) ... Was at work and some hygiene situation was being discussed...
:-) ... I was considerably older such as in my nineties I came to lay on a stone like table to receive a massage therapy from younger monks. The massage "therapist" did not seem too attentive to me, yet in the impressions of my thoughts I was a senior leader figure. As I lay down on my stomach to put my head through the hole I could also see my face. I was whitish in color with very thin and white hair. I could also see in front of me and there was another elderly monk who had a very dark skin complexion. He was also very thin, he was practically skin over bones only. I was doing some bending asana, and his thigh bones could be seen protruding at his skin.
There was also another monk with little beady eyes. That prompted me to consider how I progressed in yoga in that life. I was rather disappointed that I did not appear more astute and more elevated.
We proceeded to go by the gate. There were broken glasses all over the floor. I was concerned that we would hurt our feet, and we all started bleeding at the feet for being barefoot.
... As I thought of going to get hold of some band aid, I merged into a large crowd that was celebrating some event. People were under a huge tent, socializing and eating. I was a young male again. My mom started to complain as kids started exploding fire crackers. She wanted to go eat inside as the sparks could damage her nice and almost showy African dress. As we walked we made small talk with folks standing on the block by cars...
