Contd from prev.post:-<br>Another sure sign of

progess of Vipasana is sudden jerks. You will, during yr

vipasana , suddenly break concentration due to sudden

jerk. this jerk may be felt in hands, legs, head, or in

the whole body. When you first get this jerk,

congratulate yourself and your Ishta, that you have reached

the first stage of progress. why we get these jerks

(These may be experienced by other sadhaka too doing TM,

or Raj Yoga, or Mantra chanting). When we start

concentrating on our breathing, our chitta becomes busy in

sending this Vritti of holding consciousness on the

nostrils and stops other Vrittis…..When this concentration

deepens it disturbs the Guna balance of incoming Prana.

Now prana coming in should be either in Sat, Raj or

Tam but our concentration is balancing all the Gunas

(imbalance of guna is main cause of our very existance). The

Prana thus balanced for a fraction of a second…become

so pure that they can not remain in a body full of

imbalance of gunas….the prana thus try to reach their

source, the Soul and route for prana to reach its source

is to pass through Sushmna Nadi in the spine. Thus

Prana from legs, or hands or from whole body rush

towards Sushumana….leaving the particular limb without

Prana for a fraction of a second. this process causes a

sudden jerk in the limbs and our concentration is

broken. Though one may not notice but the breathing also

stops during this short interval.<br>At this stage, one

is in deep concentration and prior arrangement

should be made so that nobody disturbs you during

meditation, as sudden sound or disturbance during this period

may be fatal for some. Also you will notice that your

ears have become so sensitive during this period that

you start picking up distant sounds very clearly. A

fall of a needle near you may produce such a sound

that it may disturb your concentration. all these sign

denote progress. <br><br>Slowly you will feel peace

prevailing in the mind and in the body. Your voice will

change…you will feel particulary some time after Vipasana

that your voice is strange….it is deep, sweet and

resonating. Slowly the fatigue lines on the face will start

fading. The eyes will become smiling. Hate and anger will

start cooling down. Blood Pressure will come to the

best possible mark. Hours of sleep will reduce and

hunger will be moderate. Bad odours from the body will

no more be there.<br><br>Till you get above signs,

you should continue Vipasana. Further signs can not

be discussed here….if you have reached upto here,

the Universal system will make sure you find a

teacher to guide you further because the next stage is

more disturbing (and rewarding too) and can not be

performed without proper guidance.<br><br>Hari
