Yes, you should not try to rebalance one side energetically by focusing your attention on it. AYP practices are themselves balancing. However, be careful not to add too many practices too quickly. Spinal bastrika is an advanced practice that can overload you easily as you have noticed. And you shouldn’t try for a while to do it again.
As you noted, the asanas and SBP before meditation are balancing, so that’s the way… and during meditation, always come back to the mantra whenever you realize something has distracted you.
The criterion to see if it all works is : how do you feel during the day?

Thank you Jac 
Update:
The energy has been moving up to my head and staying there for long periods before traveling down the back of my skull to the back (and God my scalp is itchy and burning feels like I have to shower every day now!). Does this mean the crown (which is the root cause of a premature awakening) is now in full force?
I’m scared because I know everyone here (including Yogani) say that the crown is too dangerous to go to or stay at but what can I do if this is happening all by itself? Recently everything has been triggering my energies, from smoking and coffee to food, workout and even getting involved in an argument!
If it’s true that the third eye chakra is the one that creates balance (I remember both Yogani and Jim saying that the third eye was your friend in this journey) then is it advisable for me to do special meditation to target the third eye?
Mind you (and this is a very important point to bare oin mind) my third eye vibrates violently (but not unpleasantly) after a long walk or some consistent workout all by itself without me even poking it so much that all I have to do to create more vibration is to just “remember” it if that makes any sense, so it’s not something I have to force or think/stress about. At almost feels like it’s an indicator of balance as it is even though I don’t meditate or do any energy work.
What should I do?
