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.
A dietary adjustment has caused a loss of weight, so much so that I have had to change my wardrobe completely! My clothes started to look oversized.
Yoga, exercise will cause elimination and purification. The complete process of bhastrika causes in addition detoxification and burning of negative elements.
Adding dietary rigor to the regimen accelerates the process of modification of the body. I have done this because I was impatient with this issue of the left side. It was getting on my nerves & I did something about it.
Yesterday, for the first time I stretched sufficiently both sides and sensed that the left side was more yielding. I also thought that I may not get the expected back lash I normally get as body recoups by the next day. Today I was also able to stretch with abandon!
Also, for the first time since many years ago, I was again able to assume full lotus on both sides (left is very challenging). This needs a lot more work. I consider that as the elimination of matter in the way.
Life Force Energy:
The energy was awakened, and manifested throughout.
Shift in practice: attempts at willing the energy downward versus soliciting it to rise as usual.
The energy was successfully sent to the feet. I pushing downward, looked down, willed down, and the energy could be felt in the feet; but in a way that was indicating to me that the pressure I was sending down was maintaining the energy put there.
I am sure of the details of what I did, if indeed something of consequence was going on there. Since I was not explained the process, am I to consider that I am ahead of schedule? Probably this was sheer luck!
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.
Mind focus: a dynamic and exerted process of observing and analyzing by the mind and intellect.
The sound was loud, perhaps too much, it was coming from all ends, and it was disorienting. I can hear it loud just sitting quietly. I could not focus on any source; I didn’t know where it was coming from. I will work harder on it next time it gets like this.
As has been the case in the past when naad gets very loud, it is accompanied with a mist of tingling sensations over the entire body. When immobile, as laying in bed I feel wrapped in a cocoon of that sensation and to a degree weightless if I focus on the sensations.
Also, as I focus the mind a certain way I get those split moments of sense of acceleration in the mind, like "zappings".
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.
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:
:-) I see the brow chakra, very briefly, a purplish wavy circle. I get hypnogenic, and hear a woman talking in a goolish voice. I wait for the talk to end, but it goes on for a while and gets very close to me, I am unsettled as I shake in my bed on and on. I decide that it's enough and will myself light. I lift of the bed and awake.
It's darkish around me, I am aware that I am lucid in a dream I can will as I desire. I recall that Swami explained that there are lower places and higher places, but I didn't know where to will; so I called his name maybe twice... I am next to my brother, the doctor (again). He tells me that I was saying things in my sleep. I ask what, perplexed; he explained to me that I was telling the future of someone (not recalled anymore).
:-) ... I was in a dimension where there were some very powerful entities. These entities could control the elements, such as the wind, clouds, rain... And they are in a violent open war. There is constant havoc as they take after one another relentlessly. Humans were very tiny and subjected to constant hassle as they took shelters here and there, and the entities were aware of their presence and also factored them in their battle.
Reflections:
Still thinking, lest I stop imagining!

MiBeloved's Response:
Focus on naad node(s). Do not get caught up in the general sound or vibration of naad. Go to the node. Lean on the node and let the general sound and vibration be.
