This morning breath infusion practice went for about 20 minutes and then on the astral side, Yogi Bhajan’s presence was felt. He checked on the body of a student who practiced.

Yogi Bhajan said that to follow the instruction of Swami Hariharananda, this student needs to focus on infusing air into the three lowest chakras, from the navel chakra on the spine to the base chakra.

Yogi said this:

If he does the infusion and can focus on the region of those chakras on the sushumna central passage, then eventually he will see a white light there as the infusion energy mixes with the energy which lingers there. If then he keeps the infusion going, it will cause this area to glow and then after sometime doing this during the daily infusion practice, the rest of the sushumna central spinal passage will become infused, but only up to the neck.

Then again the student if he pushes himself to practice will feel the infusion as an active energy in the subtle head.

Yogi Bhajan also explained something else. He said this:

I taught classes of many students, even a hundred or more. This is not easy to do and should not be imitated by others. I had a special power to do this.

It is difficult to teach a collective group because as one person is doing a posture and doing rapid breathing, another person who does the same posture and who exerts for breathing, may find that the resulting experience is totally different to that of some others in the group.

When I taught several students in a group, then I detuned from the individuals and kept focus on the solar and lunar environmental influence. I managed some sessions, giving asana postures to assume and telling when to begin breathing and when to stop. There were sessions however in which advanced students scrutinized the others, as I gave commands for starting breathing in a specific postures.

It is best to teach one on one because otherwise some students will be neglected. They may even pass out during the infusion process.
