Norman Paulsen - Sacred Science.

[PeterPanic]

Norman Paulsen is a disciple of Paramahamsa Yogananda (sorry for the spelling). In his book Sacred Science he gives a meditation method that goes like this:

1 - While breathing in, feel the Life Force (prana) traveling along the spine from the coccis to back of the head.

2 - Hold a bit the breath

3 - Exhale feeling the Life Force descend through the hollow spine from back of the head to the coccis.

4 - Hold a bit the breath


Has anyone tried this meditation? What are the signs of progress?
Is it true that this meditation is similar to kriya yoga?

Thanks.
