At, I started using some of the basic techniques to balance my subtle energy system. Plus, I started attending the weekly programs held by local people, 

I think I stuck with it because I somehow believed they were the right, common sense thing to do. I felt better for them and did not have to go to extremes to feel some form of satisfaction.

We all start Sahaja Yoga with our "subtle system" in a different state. Generally we have a tendency to be more of the left or  right side.

The left channel (blue) corresponds to our past, emotions, desires, affectivity. Its termination is the superego, which is the storehouse of all our memories, habits and conditionings.

The right channel (yellow) corresponds to our actions and planning, to our physical and mental activity. Its termination is the ego, which gives us the idea of I-ness, the sense that we are separate from the world.

The central channel is the channel of ascent, it is the power which sustains our evolution and guides us, consciously or unconsciously, towards the higher awareness of the Sahasrara (seventh chakra).

I needed balance.

Shri Mataji when I met her, mostly put Her hand over my right one to pull down the side. Now as I understand, this was to "bring down" my right channel, as it was too overactive.

So I was using cooling techniques to bring down the right channel.

Moreover, the right channel was constricting where crosses at the Agnya chakra. So I could not feel cool in top of head, fontanel or in hands.

After about one month of short daily practice morning and night I started to feel the coolness on myself and could also feel the vibrations, cool or warm of others when I put my meditative attention on them.
