another perspective...

[Guest guest]

Hello to all,

 

I have been lurking on these discussion groups

because, being new to Kundalini yoga, I really haven’t

felt that I have had much to contribute. I have just

been learning from all of you and your experiences.

However, I finally feel I have something to contribute

that may be of interest to you.

 

Before I go into details, I would just like to say

that I AM new to Kundilini and that the information I

have to share is ALSO new to me. Therefore, my

perspective of things may be slightly skewed. I

invite you, should you feel inclined to learn more of

what I have to say, to do your own research and to

develop your own conclusions.

 

I have been reading the book, The Multi-Orgasmic Man,

by Mantak Chia & Douglas Abrams. What does this have

to do with Kundalini yoga? you may ask. Well, many of

you have been talking about “negative” side effects

you have been experiencing since your “Kundalini

Awakening.” The book addresses some of these issues.

Although the book was obviously written for men, it

also has some insights and techniques that I think

would be beneficial for women. Some quotes:

 

“You have bioelectric energy [chi / prana – see p.16]

in every cell of your body. This energy also travels

along certain well-defined circuits… The main circuit

in the body is called the Microscosmic Orbit and is

made up of two channels, the Back Channel and the

Front Channel… The Back Channel begins at the

perineum and runs along the back of the body from the

tip of the tailbone, up the spine and neck, to the

crown of the head, and finally down the forehead to

where it ends between the bottom of the nose and the

upper lip, where there is an indentation. The Front

Channel runs from the tip of your tongue to your

throat and along the midline of your body down to your

pubis and perineum. Touching your tongue to your

palate closes the Microcosmic Orbit…” (pp.17,18)

 

“At first you will be working on drawing the energy up

to your head, which will help you experience a ‘brain’

or whole-body orgasm and feel energized. However, it

is equally important that you draw the energy down to

your navel to keep yourself balanced and to allow your

body to store the energy for later use. The Taoists

knew the truth of the expression ‘What goes up must

come down.’ Westerners often joke about yogis who sit

and contemplate their navels. Most people think the

navel is simply the vestigial scar of the umbilical

cord, but the navel is in fact our physical and

energetic center… There is an energetic reservoir at

your navel where you can safely store the energy you

have generated through your practice. The body can

then ‘digest’ this energy as needed…” (p.59)

 

“In the past, many teachers of Eastern sexuality

taught students how to draw energy up to their brain

without teaching students how to bring it back down

again. This resulted in what has been called the

Kundalini syndrome. The Taoists knew the importance

of completing the circle…” (p.65)

 

“A small percentage of men who try these techniques

experience excess energy stuck in their upper body.

Symptoms of this vary from person to person but may

include insomnia, a ringing in the ears, heart

palpitations, or tension headaches that persist for

several days… It is worth mentioning that the

problems are not caused by the circulation of your

sexual energy but by preexisting emotional and

physical tensions trapped in the upper body. The

sexual energy simply amplifies these problems, which

is why it is essential for you to address these

underlying issues before advancing further with your

sexual practice…” (p.72)

 

Thus, if I am understanding all of this correctly, at

least some of your may be experiencing adverse effects

of the rising of the Kundalini because you are not

allowing or able to allow the energy to circulate back

down from your heads to your navels, where it can be

safely stored. The books says that it is good to let

the energy rise within us and circulate within our

higher chakras, but we must eventually let it come

back down or adverse effects may occur. If you have

been experiencing negative effects of the Kundalini

awakening, maybe you should consider contacting a

Healing Tao instructor (in the appendix of the book it

says to contact the Healing Tao Center, 1205 O’Neill

Highway, Dunmore, PA 18512; tel. 717-348-4310; fax

717-348-4313 for more information) or an

acupuncturist. If you are male, I highly recommend

the book if you are interested in becoming

multi-orgasmic. It is well written and practical.

Good luck to all of you and Sat Nam.
