After years of reading the messages these people post, I must say I'm really disappointed - they suck as informants! The first advanced technique was popularly known as the 'Night Technique' and is one of the most subtle and profound yoga techniques known to adepts. The technique involves a type of siddha yoga to be performed just before sleeping. The Night Technique involves empowerment, pure and simple, and comes naturally, based on one's spiritual evolution. It is akin to 'dejavu', that is, the ability to remember, on a very subtle level, a previous life experience. This special sense of perception or seeing, involves yet another further subtlety, a very subtle perception of an altered STATE previously experienced, whether in this life or the past. The Night Technique is best performed in a personal zone of tranquility, one that is built and arranged according to Vastu principles. In addition, the orientation of the body is crucial to the success of these types of siddha yoga, an aspect often overlooked by beginners, who unwittingly sometimes sit or sleep with their backs toward the south door. Most TMers only repeat the bija portion of their mantra when they sit in meditation. However, according to Marshy, in deep sleep the entire mantra with the sri and the namah may be repeated. When I practice Marshy's secret Night Technique, I often fall asleep with the bija portion of my mantra still in my mind. When practicing the Night Technique, Satyanand advised me to be aware of the area just above my heart chakra, and to put the bija there and let it rest. Then, all you have to do is babysit your bija, right on your heart chakra. Just set it, and forget it! By resting your bija at the heart chakra, the subtle currents from your Istadevata will permeate your entire being. For example, my Istadevata is Saraswati, the Goddess of Learning. By resting the bija portion of her name, that is, 'aing', at the heart chakra, my intelligence grows by leaps and bounds, right while I'm sleeping! Then, when I awake in the morning I will feel refreshed and full of energy and knowledge. With the Night Technique you can forget about using an alarm clock to wake up. You just formulate in your mind what time you would like to awaken. It's that simple!
