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.
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.
Attempts were made to maintain locks until the energy dissipates, along with momentary deep breaths to increase breathing capability.
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.
There seems to be an altogether shift in the perception of the transcendental sound vibration, I am working to become more familiar with the change if it is actual and adjust to it.
It was perceived that there was a node at the top center of the head?! And also a fainter naad similar to a perception that was previously attained a long time ago at the ordinary location of the right ear, it was faint.
Goals and Objectives–long term/ adjusted:
Subtle body detection: looking down in the trunk more.
Book Readings:
The "Yoga Sutras" of Pantajali; Enlightenment in practical terms!
Subtle body ventures or interests recalled synopses/ retell:
:-) ... A dream was remembered, not noted, and so forgotten.
Reflections:
Still thinking, lest I stop imagining!

MiBeloved's Response:
For moving into higher yoga naad contact is essential. It is not possible to reach deep samadhis without naad contact. Naad contact is the factor which gives one the ability to shut down the buddhi intellect orb's compelling thinking and imaging activities (cittavritti).
Pranayama also helps but after you do pranayama and you release yourself from that initial effort, it is smooth sailing only if you can take shelter of naad. At these stages chanting mantras are total baloney. The mantra here is naad and you do not have to utter it, just listen to it and adhere yourself (glue your core-self) to it.
Pranayama may be compared to the first stage rocket in a spaceship. You must use it if you want to get outside of the usual gravitational field. But at a certain stage once it has taken you out of the earth's pulling force, then naad takes over.
Those who have no rockets will have to just stay on the ground meditating forever without ever reaching very high samadhi. And this is just fine for them.
