How to awaken kundalini? - for Padma

[Guest guest]

Greetings Padma,

 

What you describe is also called Kundalini Fire Rising. As the central channel

is cleared and purified the "heat" will disappear and be replaced with serenity.

During this period the process is simply purification. There may be many

psychic phenomena also. Some may be helpful, mostly they are illusions

coming from the clearing of the lower mind preparing the way for higher more

spiritualized consciousness. This is fairly normal experiences. Not to worry.

 

About the loss of the myelin sheath. The person involved was over practicing

and the body couldn't take the energy - way too much heat. Also he was

practicing with "hard" yoga exercises, and decided to not only become Vegan

but he after years of mixed eating (meat and vegetables, etc.) decided to

become a Fruitarian, eating only fruit. This over acidified his system and

unbalanced it completely. Also from having an active sex life, he went celibate

completely from one day to the next. Everything was too much in every area of

his life.

 

The important elements of our practices include...

* Moderation and pace

* The Guidance of a Wise Instructor and coach

* Realize that spiritual practices have serious life-changing consequences

* Only engage in extreme practices after a long period of development

 

Too much is like planting a seed and then digging it up every few days to see

if it is growing. That will kill the plant.

 

Too much is like pouring a strong fertilizer on a plant - everyday - to make it

grow faster. It may grow faster, but it will also die sooner.

 

In the Absolute there is Eternity, so there is enough time to accomplish

anything important. What is the rush?

 

Spiritual practice does mean that we must be regular and persistent in our

practice. The spiritual life is not just for Sunday or worse for once a year

attendance at a religious festival. Discipline is called for, and patience.

 

I hope these comments are useful for you.

heard of the Kundalini awakening but have no true picture of it. I though it was

an energy that rises from your mooladharna & goes up to the sahasra chakra.

Sometimes when I sit & try to mediate & feel some thing is happening in my

mooladharna chakra & then I can feel the energy rising. Then I feel very

flushed & I begin to sweat. Could you please tell me what is it I am

experiencing?
