AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I occasionally get intensely sleepy to the point that I can not control it during the day. I am sleeping fine at night. There is no medical cause. What is the reason, and how should I approach this from a yogic perspective? πŸ₯±πŸ˜΄

It could be partly because of a general disinterest in the mundane life, a phase that many spiritual seekers go through. The things that engaged oneself and drew out the force of life no more excites us. Hence, the life forces remains largely engaged internally, with the nascent or developing inner life. The surface consciousness then has a tendency to fall asleep, as during meditation. The other cause, which is less likely, is loss of vital energy as one begins to open to beings and forces of the occult worlds. But this sleepiness is accompanied by tiredness as well.Β 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

It is not a question of good or bad from a moral point of view. But drinking alcohol is certainly harmful for the physical, as well as psychological and I would even say spiritual health. The list of physical problems is too long and generally too well known to elucidate. …

Yesterday suddenly realised during my prayer with my mother that the seat of the Psychic Being is Highar Vital, in the Hridaya Chakra. Initially, I feel Peace, Bliss and Delight up to the Vishudhi Centre. Suddenly realised that my heart has received The Mother’s Peace and is spreading to all the centre of my all the inner parts and similar to the mother light also. Suddenly feel that the heart centre is doing everything. Alok da, is our Sadhana going in the right direction? Please guide me. πŸͺ·βœ¨πŸ’–πŸ•―️

Yes absolutely, the psychic being is behind the heart centre and when open and in the front then all becomes easy and natural.Β 
Your prayer is a beautiful psychic prayer and the yoga going in the right direction.
