New Dimensions of the Practice: Notes and Observations
Note: As I continue with the tapas and deepen its effects, new dimensions of the practice reveal themselves to me through the practice itself. I include these new methods along with their inspirations, and the daily exercise becomes richer and more profound, allowing a direct experience of the deeper effects such a complex tapas can bring. I also become increasingly aware of the inspiration and divine grace guiding my daily life.
- “Absorbing” the Light through the Eyes:
- While remaining relaxed, I visualize “absorbing” the Light through my eyes → I guide it downward toward the Heart → I fill the Heart with the Light of the Sun.
- I feel a warm sensation in the Heart, sometimes even hot and glowing.
- Combining Sun Gazing with Breathing Practice:
- I “breathe in” the Light with each breath: I begin breathing in and out with full awareness, sensing how I “inhale” the Light through my eyes with every breath and guide it toward the Heart.
- I briefly practice the “Blowing Upon the Ember” technique to fully activate my Heart Center.
- I then combine the two exercises so that the “breathing in of the Light through the eyes” continues with “blowing the Light into the Heart,” with every breath.
- When the practice feels natural, I establish Rhythmic Breathing. Chosen pattern: 4–2–4 → 8–4–8 → 8–8–8–2 → 8–8–4.
- I maintain awareness on the Heart Center and on “breathing in the Light through my eyes, then flowing it into the Heart,” filling the Heart completely.
Note: The Kati Channel becomes more defined, warmer, more perceptible, increasingly active, and energized.
- Connection with the Inner Ear:
- I gradually begin to feel a connection with the Inner Ear on both sides.
- My Inner Ears become highly activated.
- Some energy channels related to the Inner Ears converge with the Eye Channels in the throat area, and then flow into the Heart Center.
- The Throat Area Becomes Dominant:
- My entire throat area is now highly activated, energized, expanded, and vibrating; it becomes the dominant area of practice results.
- It feels like a gateway or hub for all the energy channels.
Note: This strong sensation of energy, vibration, and expansion in the throat area may relate to my natural dominance of the Vishuddha Chakra, as my daily morning yoga practice is heavily focused on it. Alternatively, it may simply be the result of the simultaneous activation and convergence of several energy channels.
- Back of the Head – Cerebellum Activation:
- The feeling of energy and expansion extends toward the back of the head, bringing a new area of focus. I can clearly feel my Cerebellum becoming activated.
- Whole Head Activation and Energy Field Expansion:
- The entire region of the head, neck, shoulders, chest, and upper back now feels ethereal—expanded, energized, and vibrating.
Looking forward to whatever comes next!
