Day 6:

Deep dream sleep cycles last night. Am experimenting with invoking Buddha nature to assist with trekchod in the mantra. Self-generation as Saturn has an interesting feeling -- the deity is almost pitch black. Running Kundalini through self-generated Saturn is also very interesting; it feels like K is connecting various sparse and spatially distant aspects of time-space holographically within local body. Feels like there are dots being connected that may otherwise not be if the sadhana wasn't being undertaken.

Also had a peek into a Saturnian Damo's Cave while running the mantra -- lots to explore there; many causal seeds that enact a will of their own unbeknownst to the microcosmic ego-personality consciousness -- Damo's Cave is way to access (generally speaking); will be interesting to explore Saturnian Damo's Cave.

Also, incidentally, have been noticing over the past few days that when doing mantra under my breath, using my lips, I tend to maintain some jaw tension, something that I have a general habit of doing. Since chronic jaw tension can turn into TMJ and can numb some brain areas via muscles constricting the skull and overall sensory acuity, this mantra is helping me turn some attention to the jaw in general, as a coincidence... so I now work to relax my jaw during the day more b/c I happen to be doing so much mantra (#sideeffectbonus).

Over the past days there has been the motivation to do counterbalancing practices/sadhanas to assist with Saturn's effects, however another element to this could very well be that, b/c Saturn has an association with discipline, that He is playing some causal role in starting other sadhanas. Interestingly, despite doing 5 sadhanas concurrently, I feel more organized than usual -- I am able to engage in sadhanas, get adequate sleep, fulfill householder duties, and also get my work done. I'll report back on this latter point in due course, to make sure that it's not just the excitement of doing yoga :D
