Hi pranar,
You have received excellent advice from everyone. I have been using AYAM (I AM) for the past four years. Adding more practices does not equal faster progress.
If your inner guru is telling you to add, then it’s fine. Sometimes small steps leads to faster progress with balanced openings and integration. The fruits of our practice is found in
daily living.
Enjoy your journey.

Thanks for the input folks.
Used the first enhancement in two sessions yesterday. Felt like purification was actually occuring and wasn’t the smooth-sailing minor buzz from the baseline mantra.
Incredible day - filled with energy, heart and throat open and overflowing with joy, siddhis manifesting, and mind-boggling sensory perception.
Noticed a “pendulum” swinging through and purifying the sushumna through the day that the mantra set in motion. Hehe was wonderful!
Only been two months of the baseline mantra but put in hundreds of hours of Shikantaza and spinal breathing prior.
Let’s see how it goes!
Thanks again.
Best regards.
Hi Pranar,
Great to hear that the mantra enhancement works for you. Other people who did mantra meditation before finding the AYP reported here in the forum that the mantra enhancement worked well for them. Years of previous practices purified your nervous system to a certain degree. Thus, you are better prepared to take advantage of the broader purification provided by the mantra enhancement. Lesson 116 gives a good explanation of the mechanism at work:

Your perseverance in finding the right practice for you has paid off. Thank you for sharing.
