Anahata Chakra (Heart)
advanced yogi
may exhibit "interiorization"
into the innermost subtle "spine"
this runs from Anahata upwards (to Ajna)...
Anahata forms one arm of a "magnet"
the other arm being within the Ajna (spiritual eye)
(the neutral resides in medulla of Ajna).
the consciousness and energy may cycle moreso within this subtle 'spine' structure...
and it may sustain the grosser spines,
even whilst remaining dwelling in the subtle spine -- (i.e. - the subtle is 'contained within' but not 'constrained by' the grosser spines, etc.)
For this advanced yogi,
consciousness and energy may be willed outward to the grosser spines,
or at-will withdrawn into this 'subtle' spine cycling...

Hello Nomaste thanks for reminding us of the challenges and rewards of interiorizing
our consciousness to merge into these higher states of perceiving and experiencing
true reality. More and more i find myself expressing from the Anahata-heart-chakra
and willing from the Ajna-third eye-center.
i still find much energy manifesting from the lower chakras that give the impetus to exercise and maintain the body temple.
Eric as you may well know the throat chakra
governs communication and how we use this function wth others. i mentioned this because of your calling to 'feel it'.
