Unexpected Progress

Yesterday, I was in attendance at a meditation session which was led by a person who is from the Zen Buddhist orientation. At that session which was about 45 minutes after my breath infusion session, I had an unexpected piece of progress in the kriya which I was recently given by Sri Lahiri Mahasaya. This is a kriya which concerns naad and following Lord Krishna’s instruction to Uddhava about mixing the naad sound in the sushumna with the universal naad sound which is outside of the individual’s psyche but which penetrates the psyche.

According to Krishna when these two naad mix, there will be heard a tingling of bells and various sound frequencies like blend of a musical notes. When practicing this before as instructed by Lahiri, there was no blend. Instead the universal naad sound which penetrated the psyche was heard and in the sushumna nadi there was no sound but was only a hollowed out vibration like the space and air in a large upright cylindrical pipe.

During that meditation session I heard that blend of notes. I have heard this before in mediation over the years but rarely. I clearly heard it.

In the instruction to Uddhava there is no location given but Sri Lahiri gave a location as being down in the back in the central spine just in the area aright below where the neck begins. He said one should go there and then listen for the blends of notes.
