Letters of Sri Aurobindo

Volume III - Part 4

The descent into the body first in the head, then down to the neck and in the chest is the ordinary rule. For many there is a big stop before it gets below the navel owing to some vital resistance. Once it passes that barricade it does not usually take long to come down farther. But there is no rule as to the time taken. In some it comes down like a flood, in others it goes through with a methodical and deliberate increase. I don’t think the peace descent is in the habit of waiting for companions – more often it likes at first to be all by itself and then call down its friends with the message, “Come along, I have made the place all ready for you.”
