PRANAYAMA AND KUNDALINI

[Guest guest]

A friend told me about some guy whom she met over the internet, he

told her that he can awake her Kundalini in a seanse (over a long

distance). Couple of days after that, she had some emotional

breakdowns, she cried a lot without a reason. the guy told her that

those things are just the consiquences of her inner cleaning. In my

humble opinion - I think that the playing with Kundalini can be very

dangerous if a person doesn't have some spiritual ideal/goal that

wishes to attain. These kinds of Kundalini "treatments" are in the

same category with drug abuse etc. - they are only the tries to help

yourself in a mechanical way, without Viveka and without inner

knowledge.

I'd have to say I'd concur in terms of not 'pushing IT' ... as when

it is awakens, it pushes of Namaste,Kundalini is the mind, it is

everywhere and everything. What you are experiencing is a movement of

prana, probably cleansing your kosas in some way. It is a distraction

and not necessary for realisation. K or a purified mind will rise by

itself imperceptibly without all the bells and whistles, if one

channels it into japa or some other form of concentration. K cannot

in any way result in liberation or realisation, so it is not so

efficacious to be distracted by these energies, they belong to

illusion. I and many others have had some experiences, I found they

are best ignored

unless one wants to practice siddhis or something. In essence they are

in the mind and imagination.It seems to me that the more cleansing

that needs to be done the more the activity.......nothing really to

boast about hahahaahah.I would just stick to your Vipassana and

ignore the energies....ONS..Tony.

Maybe if I just wait I will delete this as better words will have been

posted, but here it goes:

 

In a broader view I believe this points to the lack of discriminating

capabilities present in general, and was puzzled by this seeming unbalance

a while back.

 

My teacher once said that Russia was the best country for Kundalini practice

, because it was probably forbidden ( meaning it could not be done), and

Germany the worst because they were so efficient.

Reading some of the things presented here, I think I know what she meant.

 

As far as I know it is a well known situation: After a period of basics the

student wants to move forward not seeing or understanding the ongoing

development and what Self Knowledge is about, which (in this setting) is the

goal.

 

I am not an expert at all but do also guess that if not directly under the

category above some similar subconscious process could be at work.

 

Why should we not be serious about this, as it could be continuing a

pattern, even making it stronger?

 

So the teacher is there to push the stop button. I have experienced this,

and it was like believing to finally have the winning ticket in the 'great

lottery' and being told to tear it up.

Well, I really had no choice, she said stop and it stopped .

 

And those who were fortunate to sit at the feet of Ramana were they in a

different setting?

I find some effort is often necessary to keep the 'head above water' in this

busy world : )
