Guest guest Posted January 14, 2000 Report Share Posted January 14, 2000 Sat Nam, If you would like to cultivate the experience of "delight" that Brian is talking about and you who have not d to KYTraining-- Lesson 07 on the Navel Center has now been uploaded to the KY site, complete with the diagrams showing positions for the Nabhi Kriya. kundalini yogakyt07.html Several of the new comers have asked where to start. The Navel or Power center is a great place to start. If you would like to to the KYTraining list send a blank email to kytraining- . The only postings are lessons written by myself, which come out about one time a month, and answers to questions related to the lessons, of which we have had very few so far.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 Namaste Priya and welcome It is my opinion the, what you are experiencing is the energy which is generated within the Navel center. A very wonderful and natural thing to happen / occur. Here is a little bit of info. on the navel center - by Gururattan, found in her book" Relax and Renew as well as has the complete information on her Free on line Kundalini yoga lessons. In it you will notice a set involving strengthening the Navel Center. Remember to begin at lesson one and continue onward, consecutively. Humbly, Bhagavati |+--------------------------------| || The Navel Center | || | || 2000: Gururattan Kaur Khalsa Ph.D. | || | || | || January 10, 2000 | || | || | ||Yogi Bhajan teaches that the seat of the Kundalini is in the | ||navel center. Reflecting on my experience over the last 22 years | ||of practicing Kundalini Yoga (preceded by 8 years of Hatha yoga),| ||I have often had an intuitive urge to return to the navel center.| ||The answer to the question at hand, whether it is about me or a | ||student, is often "strengthen your navel center." | || | || | ||The navel center is the focus of many spiritual disciplines. The | ||Taoists start and return to the navel center while practicing the| ||microcosmic orbit. (Internal circular breath that starts at the | ||navel, goes down the front to the base of the spine, goes up the | ||back to the crown and back down the front to the navel.) *(1) The| ||internal martial arts initiate moves from the navel or don tien, | ||which is 2-3 inches below the navel. | || | || | ||Where is the Navel Center? | || | || | ||In the very early Kundalini lessons taught by Yogi Bhajan, he | ||said that the navel center is actually approximately 2-3 inches | ||below the umbilicus. In these lessons, therefore, when we say | ||navel center we are referring to a point 2-3 inches below the | ||belly button. This is the center of energy that is the gravity | ||balance point in the body. | || | || | ||When we pump our navel energy or move from our navel center we | ||are actually pumping and moving from a center where thousands of | ||nerves come together. Each person can find this center in their | ||own body by doing the Kundalini yoga exercises given by Yogi | ||Bhajan. As you practice the exercises, the nerve endings will be | ||stimulated and the energy will coalesce at this point. Practice | ||of any of the martial arts will also help you find and align this| ||center of gravity in your body. | || | || | ||One way to know is by feeling the pulse at this point. You can | ||also feel the pulse right at the navel or umbilicus. Either way, | ||a powerful pulse will indicate that your third chakra energy is | ||aligned or "set." | || | || | ||There are different schools of thought about the location of the | ||navel center. I thought that all the martial arts taught that | ||this center, called the don tien, was 2-3 inches below the | ||physical navel. However, several years ago I studied with a Chi | ||Gong master who taught that it was right at the umbilicus. The | ||man was certainly a master of chi and his techniques worked. | ||Kundalini yoga has been taught using both locations. It all seems| ||to work. Individual practice will help you find and cultivate | ||your power center. Might have guessed that the Masters would give| ||us just enough information so we would have to practice the | ||techniques in order to experience the truth for ourselves. | || | || | || | || | || | ||Identity in the Lower Triangle | || | || | ||The basic problem with unresolved anger is that this vital energy| ||is consumed and unavailable for living our lives and creating our| ||dreams. Unresolved anger creates blind spots in our psyche, which| ||results in indecision, the inability to commit and even the | ||inability to know what we want in the first place! It is my | ||experience that when I know what I want, go for it and achieve | ||results, I experience a sense of satisfaction in my life. I | ||believe that this is true for all of us. | || | || | ||It is in the lower triangle that we achieve a sense of our own | ||identity. The first three chakras are where we experience our | ||individuality. It is in our uniqueness that we identify not only | ||who we are, but also what we want and how to accomplish our | ||goals. It is the FIRST CHAKRA and our connection with the Earth | ||that gives us the power to manifest, to bring into being our | ||desires, and to achieve results. The SECOND CHAKRA gives us the | ||power to create. The THIRD CHAKRA gives us the energy to take | ||action. | || | || | ||So let's take action to strengthen and activate our navel center | ||and build our lower triangle. | || | || | |+--------------------------------| |+----------------------------| || | ||Setting the Navel Center | || | || | ||The navel center is the easiest chakra to monitor. You know | ||your navel center is "set," when you feel a pulse at or | ||around the rim of the umbilicus. You can also monitor this | ||pulse at the don tien or navel center 2-3 inches below the | ||navel and in the line between these two points. Although you | ||can check the pulse sitting or standing up, the easiest | ||position is lying down. The best times are before and after | ||the navel exercises. | || | || | ||Simply take the middle finger of either hand, place it on the| ||navel or navel center and search for a pulse. If there is no | ||pulse, the pulse is weak or it is not in or around the navel,| ||your navel needs "to be set." When there is a strong pulse on| ||or near the center of the navel, it is "set." You will | ||experience that after the exercises, the pulse is stronger | ||and the position may have also changed. | || | || | ||After a few leg lifts, one woman had her pulse jump from the | ||lower right corner of her abdomen to the center of her navel!| ||So do not be alarmed if you cannot find your pulse. The | ||Kundalini yoga works. | || | || | ||It is normal to have a weak pulse in the morning after | ||sleeping. That is why it is strongly recommended to set your | ||navel center before you start your day. Also during the day, | ||if you feel off center, pump your navel center or do breath | ||of fire to come back to center. | || | || | ||Footnotes | || | || | ||(1) Sexuality and Spirituality by Gururattan Kaur Khalsa | ||Ph.D. and Ann Marie Maxwell, pp. 153-7. | || | || | || | || | || | || Nabhi Kriya to Set the Navel Center | || | || | ||The following set NABHI KRIYA was taught by Yogi Bhajan in | ||1971 and remains one of the classical sets to set the navel | ||center. | || | || | ||Nabhi Kriya - Navel Power | || | || | || | || | || | || 2000: Gururattan Kaur Khalsa Ph.D. | || | || | || | || | || | || | || | |+----------------------------| "Priya" <maverick_ms2000@ <Kundaliniyoga> > cc: navel chakra 01/08/13 09:39 PM Please respond to Kundaliniyoga I feel a kind of sensation near my navel chakra every time I complete my breathing excercise.It feels warm & the intensity of heat seems to be increasing with every breath I take in.I have never experienced this before.

Your essence (Jing or Ching-Chi) is stored in what Kundalini Yoga calls the navel chakra. It seems that you are doing your breathing exercise properly, because the sensations you report suggest that you are doing a fine job at collecting your Jing into your navel (or Dan-Tien in chinese). When you do your breathing exercise, keep your mind at this point in your body, and you will soon be able to transform this Jing into Chi, which you should then circulate through the Du-Mai, and Ren Mai (see an acupunture meridian chart) and back to the Dan Tien. Once you have accomplished this, you should find a competent teacher of Qigong or Kundalini Yoga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 dear priya, In the navel is the SURYA CHAKRA. When u feel the heat in it. It means that u are somehow awakening this chakra. If u keep on concentrating it will take u to higher levels. When u have really awakened it u will see it (Physically) sorrounded by a glow. What u need is to this exerceise and write to me your results. lie flat on your back hands should be in straight line and relax. empty your mind of thoughts then try to fill as much air inside u think constantly that u r breathing the power or the pran from the atmospher when u will concentrate on this thought more and more it will appear that u are really inhaling some energy and it is entering through your nose and collecting in the navel. Then hold your breath and think that u r filled with power full energy after this u exhale while doing so think that u r letting out all the bad things out of your body all bad habits, thoughts etc. Within a month u should feel changes inside u which will surprise u. But remember if suddenly u feel u have some experiences or power dont be carried away these things have to REJECTED to reach higher. DOnt be carried away by them otherwise they will destroy u. I hope I am not scaring u but I want u to know the truth love saurabh Send FREE video emails in Mail! http://promo./videomail/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2002 Report Share Posted January 15, 2002 Dear Priya, The surya chakra which is in your navel contain strong forces. IT is the center of all spritual activities. The forces which u will be able to evoke from this chakra can raise your ego. The most dangerous state for a person who wants to rise spritually is Controlling his ego. That is why I say that do not get carried away. Now regarding my experiences there has been many experiences in which this energy has manifisted itself but I cannot speak. Because words r a trap. when u began to understand words than it becomes a trap. So leave words. There is nothing to learn from experiences or from others look into your own self and remain silent. In your second letter u wrote about -ve energies disturbing and people who disturb u. Priya Everywhere u see is the reflection of your own self. This is a fact. One day u will know this and noone will disturb u then u will see that there r no -ve forces but love everywhere love saurabh Send FREE video emails in Mail! http://promo./videomail/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
