I just write down some other Yogi stories that maybe can be useful.
A young 1 vassa Monk, after developing 10 Kasina, 8 Jhana and get instruction to develop Dibbacakkhu by using White Kasina—Dibbacakkhu can be developed based on 4 Kasina: Light, White, Fire, Yellow (Aloka Odata Tejo Pita), Aloka as the BEST—He gradually see Devas, Naga get captured by Garula, Peta, ans then Hell realm.
He saw a hell being being forced to consume molten metal. He said that as if he can feel all the pain when witnessing that. How the molten metal go into the mouth and burn everything from inside and ooze out from the body pores. The pain very unthinkable.
Then a question arise “what kamma?” Then a “pop up” video arise, this being formerly a farmer. He use many harmful pesticide, even though he know it’s harmful for people, he doesn’t care he keep using it and care only about the money from selling the harvest.
How scary is miccha ajiva!

And the shocking part is, this young monk have almost ZERO Pariyatti knowledge. He just so skilled in Meditation. And he just even become Theravāda when become Monk.
He has no any prior knowledge about how DibbacakkhuÑāna can produce YathakammupagaÑāna!
Yes, Dibbacakkhu is so Precious.
It can cause the arising of all other Abhiñña and many Bonus Ñāna.
Dibbacakkhu directly cause the arising of 5: Pubbenivasa, Yathakammupaga, Cutupata, Cetopariya, Anagatamsañāna.
The bright light from Dibbacakkhu padakajjhana easily strengthen the memory to pierce through past lives,
Also can cause the arising of knowledge of through which kamma a living being come into existence (in his case, this one, the so called “pop up” window).
Also can cause the knowledge of where a living being reborn after death.
Also can cause someone to be able to see the 6 type of blood in the Heart which is connected to 6 kind of Roots which later lead to reading mind.
Also can cause someone to be able to see the future possibilities.

In some cases even can cause the arising of mini version of IndriyaparopariyatteÑāna like what happen to Bhante Anuruddha. It’s very Amazing! Because IndriyaparopariyatteÑāna is actually AsadharanaÑāna of Sammāsambuddha.
Such is the Power of Dibbacakkhu, the result of AlokaOdataTejoPita Kasina practice.

Usually I’ll teach Kasina starting from Water Kasina. It’ll be so easy and comfortable.
Earth Kasina sometimes cause hardness and stiffness, Fire Kasina sometimes cause unbearable heat and fear. Wind Kasina too subtle for beginners. Color Kasina can be too bright for beginners.
All problem arise only for beginners due to the imbalance of Indriya (SaddhaViriyaSatiSamadhiPañña). But Water Kasina very very consistentlu proven many times as a very comfortable entrance for all 10 Kasina Practice.
Go to big bodies of water that is quite peaceful. Usually Guru will teach us to pay attention to a patch of water while ignoring the wave ripple color and reflection. But there’s another way, imagine you go under the surface, slice a thin slice of the water, and bring it in front of your face.
Around one arm length in front of you, thin slice of pure water without wave ripple color, the size as you like it, from bowl lid size upto winnowing basket size, from around 30cm up to 1 meter diameter.
Some people like it small, some like big.
In the past my Kasina practice tiring because my Guru only taught me using bowl lid. Later when I enlarge the Kasina Disc into Winnowing fan size around 1 meter, Aho! The Kasina Power become sooo much different. Such is the importance of Pariyatti Knowledge.
Then take that as Apo, Apo, Water, Water. Bring that Water Disc visualization in every posture. But yeah if difficult, mean many blockage in the body, prioritize to clear it first with detox-nutrition-energy-chanting and the Kasina will be effortlessness.
May All Beings enjoy the Dhamma
