Sushumna Bliss Progression - Yogi Explains

Summary

December 8, 2023, 18 min

A five-step progression for feeling the third proof, pressure along the Dorsal Vagal Complex: a very long outbreath, noticing the squish of the chest, sensing extra compaction on the spine, finding a tickle inside that pressure, and letting it turn faintly blissful in the sushumna. HRV resonance and the four proofs set the groundwork.
