RE: Healer says KY chi based

 

Sat Nam,

 

I had a session with a healer today who is a teacher with a group called

Training in Power. She did an energy assessment on me and said our KY practice

is really chi based instead of Kundalini energy. She talked about people who

had awakened Kundalini energy, and the energy stays up, and is very powerful and

can be very dangerous. I tried to explain this system of self initiation, but I

don't think she believed me. What are your thoughts about this practice being

chi based?

Dear Pam,

 

The center that the Taoists and those practicing martial arts call chi is

located in the Kandal, which is between the naval and 4th vertebra and is the

point of triangulation where we pull mool bhand.

 

In the practice of KY, postures and movements put pressure on certain areas that

when combined with powerful long deep breathing and breath of fire cause the

blood which saturates those areas due to the pressure to become vitalized

supercharged. This caused the nerves in those areas to fire, to become charged

and balanced, and the capillaries in the related glands and organs to nerves

centers to open, release their toxins, discharge waste from the cells, which the

begin to charge as well and come up to a full and natural voltage.

 

As the nerves and centers begin to carry a greater natural charge throughout the

system and magnetic field, Laya Yoga sound current practices cause these areas

to resonate and open further, something you can feel due to the balanced overall

charge of the magnetic field.

 

All these practices are a building up of prana throughout the system. Mool

bhand brings the downward moving prana up to the Kandal, where it naturally

circulates downwards into the base of the spine then upwards through the spinal

cord (sushumna). The jalandara bhand (neck lock) then creates a bypass to any

tension in the shoulders and neck so that the energy continues to flow upwards.

 

So far this is all pranic or chi storage.

 

The storage and build up of prana is directly related to the pumping of seminal

fluids into the bloodstream. This fluid is rich in vital minerals and chemicals

that allow the nerves to carry a charge and the cells to renew. Without it, the

nervous system burns out and we become mentally and physically decrepit before

our time, as we can see with the smoking of marijuana, which inhibits the

pumping mechanism that takes this fluid up to the heart.

 

At a certain point the centers are all charged and the magnetic field comes

under an electric etheric pressure. The nerves become hot and electric and used

to carry a considerable charge (voltage). Then at some point, the mind turns

inwards (is pulled inwards with an inner force that discards attention to the

sensations of the body and images in the mind, and you abide in / as pure

awareness). The mull bhand pulls up and locks automatically causing the Kandal

to release a focused stream of energy downwards, which Yogi Bhajan calls

"reverse channels," and this fires the release of fluid into the spinal cord. As

this fluid rises through sushumna it opens the centers along the spine and then

into the brain directly versus as previously through the circulatory system.

This is inward pulling of the mind and inward pulling of the seminal fluids into

the sushumna is called the Kundalini.

 

The Kundalini Yoga of Yogi Bhajan is a self initiation, because the development

of the expansion of prana is up to the practitioner. Naturally, as the system

becomes pure, you begin to become aware of the field of pervasive energy of the

Golden Link, which acts as an inner guide, like a graviton pulling silently from

within.

 

You create the link through your practice and devotion.

 

The reason that Kundalini Yoga of Yogi Bhajan is often called safe versus other

paths, is that these other paths do not have a systematic practice that purifies

and charges the nerves and centers, to allow for the natural flow of greater

voltages of energy consciousness. Thus, having weaker and imbalanced nervous

systems and magnetic fields, any sudden kundalini release can cause them

problems that you, practicing the Kundalini Yoga of Yogi Bhajan, would be

unaware or concerned about. The other practices of Kundalini Yoga, also require

either a Yogi to impart Shaktipat or long periods of fasting and internal

cleansing and hours every day of practicing various pranayamas, which is not

necessary in the case of the Kundalini Yoga of Yogi Bhajan, which can be

practiced while living a busy life. Also, the results are much faster, as

within a matter of weeks you will already be feeling the heat and electricity

and the resonance of the mantras and sound current.

 

All it takes is an hour (+/-) of practice every day and an intensive KY class

once or twice a week and all this will unfold by itself, and you will experience

and hear the resonance of the words of the Saviors within you and the emergence

of the True Man / True Woman (the Possible Human).

 

Hope this is useful.

Hi Pieter

 

I find your information infinitely useful and use it in my teaching all the

time. You broaden and expand the teachings and give them a sound base that

is at once easy to understand and good for stretching one's own practise.

Thank you very much.
