|
6:35 - 55 |
|
DHARANA, yellow square.
Did not catch one good vision
of yellow square. |
|
6:55 - 7:15 |
|
ASANA, Thunderbolt.
Physical fair, constant
bringing back of wandering mind. |
|
7:20 - 40 |
|
HARPOCRATES.
Did not get into this. Entire
time taken in efforts to keep babe or blue shell
before mind's eye. Mosquito biting. |
|
8:53 - 9:15 |
|
PRANAYAMA. 4-8-8-8. 5 mins
4-8-8-4, 17 mins
TAO, 'Forethought at the
Outset'
'The Workings of the Tao'
Slept and waked, and slept
again.
Must take pranayama to rouse
for concentration. |
|
10:30 - 40 |
|
PRANAYAMA, vigorous, 4-8-8-4, 5
mins.
4-12-8-4, 5 mins. |
|
10:45 - 11:05 |
[1] |
ASANA, Thunderbolt.
Positive attitude, alive. When
first sitting body & mind rather negative. Have been
trying for this positive state heretofore but
without sufficient result to note.
Eye remained in radius of ¼
inch except for one flash of about inch distance.
Flies and ants tho not on face. |
|
11:08 - 30 |
|
DHARANA, yellow square.
Not quite so positive as
preceding, mind continually hopped about, pinned it
down part of time with 'This one thing I do' |
|
11:35 - 55 |
|
HARPOCRATES.
Have no difficulty in getting
blue, why the fight with yellow?
Picture incomplete, running
around from one to other of its parts.
For first time seem a trifle
invigorated by these exercises. Slept well last
night & this morning, mind rested. That may account
for it. |
|
P.M. |
|
PRANAYAMA to beach 4-8-8-4.
Felt peevish while sitting on
court this evening for about one hour, condition
then passed away. Do not know what caused it. |
|
10:08 - 28 |
|
ASANA, Thunderbolt.
Another prolonged fight with
sleep. Why this change from wakefulness? I slept
to-day on the hill, again after tiffin. Felt drowsy
all evening. |
|
10:30 - 50 |
|
DHARANA, yellow square.
Continuous fight with sleep.
Beginning of period the desire to sleep seemed to
leap at me. The vigor to continue seemed to result
from battling. At 10:45 this stopped and came a
negative, dead sleepiness, more difficult to cope
with.
Left hand pressing down on knee
during this. |
|
10:55 - 11:15 |
|
HARPOCRATES.
Could not hold babe long enough
to get into blue shell. Still desire to sleep in
control. |
