Yes. This is the beginning of the supramental transformation, the ascent of the individual consciousness into the Supermind and the descent of the Supramental Consciousness into the human individual through each of the centres right upto the body.

July 21st, 1914 prayer:
‘July 21, 1914
There was no longer any body, no longer any sensation; only a column of light was there, rising from where the base of the body normally is to where usually is the head, to form there a disk of light like that of the moon; then from there the column continued to rise very far above the head, opening out into an immense sun, dazzling and multicoloured, whence a rain of golden light fell covering all the earth.
Then slowly the column of light came down again forming an oval of living light, awakening and setting into movementโeach one in a special way, according to a particular vibratory modeโthe centres above the head, in the head, the throat, the heart, in the middle of the stomach, at the base of the spine and still farther down. At the level of the knees, the ascending and descending currents joined and the circulation thus went on uninterruptedly, enveloping the whole being in an immense oval of living light.
Then slowly the consciousness came down again, stage by stage, halting in each world, until the body-consciousness returned. The recovery of the body-consciousness was, if the memory is correct, the ninth stage. At that moment the body was still quite stiff and immobile.’
