Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Friday, 30 August 1901
Voice of Nada "Sweet as a singing rain of silver dew".
Got into a Sukshma-Kumbhakam. Rigidiity. Dharana on Ajna prevents sleep: ditto on Anahata causes it. This as a practical thing—not when doing it for Yoga purposes.
[Pencil note in Crowley's handwriting:] "Dhâranâ on Ajna often causes sleep when trying Yoga."
12.12 - 12.42 Suddhi. I passed a bad night, and in the morning my will and control of thought seemed shortened.
8.45 a.m. - 9.15 a.m. Suddhi. Thoughts hopelessly wandering.
9.45 a.m. - 10.29 a.m. Dhâranâ on Buddha with "Aum Mani Padme Hum." A much better meditation. I felt a spiral force whirring around on top of my spine. This signifies an induction current of Prâna.
11.30 a.m. - 12.0 noon. Suddhi.
9.34 p.m. - 10.4 p.m. Suddhi.
12.30 a.m. - 1.0 a.m. Suddhi.
