Guest guest Posted November 3, 2001 Report Share Posted November 3, 2001 Dear Priya, The Kundalini manifests in the Kandal (between the navel and 4th vertebra), the Sahasrara (crown) and the Hrdayam (in the synod or pacemaker, 1/8th to the right of the sternum) where we point when we say "I." The regeneration of the atma nadi, between the Hrdayam, which lights the body with the sense of "I" and the Sahasrara, which reflects that light throughout the images of the mind and denotes the idea of "I" or an identity the sense of "I" to certain thoughts and images and sensations, so that we think "I am the body, etc. With the practice of Kundalini Yoga, the centers and nerves of the body begin to charge and the sound of mantras and laya Yoga and certain kriyas releases the energy accumulated in the centers so that the whole body field begins to resonate and balance. The result of this is that the mind becomes pure and begins to turn inwards towards its source. This source is the True "I" - the "I" that you always refer to in pointing to yourself in the heart, but mistake for the thoughts and sensations that appear in the "I" light that pervades the body and the Universe in all its conscious, subconscious, unconscious dimensions as their Ground and substratum. Sometimes, as the Hrdayam opens and the atma nadi begins (an extension of the sushumna - also the major vagas nerve) to regenerate there may be pressure, heat, sometimes like a pain felt in the Hrdayam and atma nadi and the head. It's useful to read some scripture which focuses on the hearing, contemplating and abiding in the non-dual Self, which also helps to reorient the mind to enquiry into this single "I." With "hearing" the you awaken to the Singularity of your True "I" where you experience that who you are is not different from the all-pervasive universal consciousness, where "I and my Father are One" - where "This Atman is That Brahman." This experience is so simple, yet consuming that all previous ideas of identity to the body and mind of thoughts simply dissolve, fade and vanish like a mirage, and you recall and remain who you always are. Hope this helps. Keep up!

This shooting pain comes only occasionally. I'd like to know if this is also a symptom of Kundalini raising or I am facing some health problems? Has anybody experienced shooting pains on the breasts?

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2001 Report Share Posted November 4, 2001 Hi, This is interesting because this is something that I have experienced as well, but more on the left side. Sometimes it seems to move around to the side , on top of my rib cage. It's really painful and takes a while to go away sometimes. I notice that if I breath in, it seems to constrict..like the muscles or tendons, or whatever they are, are too tight so when my ribcage expands to take in breath...it meets with resistance from my muscles constricting...hence...pain! OUCH! I'm kind of glad I'm not the only one to experience this... not that it's a good thing for anyone to feel..... just that I'm not alone!

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2001 Report Share Posted November 4, 2001 Hello, All, This has been an interesting discussion, and I'm glad for Priya's question and all the responses. I've been experiencing something similar, tho I didn't identify it as breast-related. It felt deeper than that, a tight pain in the chest wall just to the right of the sternum. Years ago I'd get a similar, tho less sharp, feeling, followed by the urge to stretch and "crack" the sternum like some people "crack" the knuckles of their fingers. Indeed, when I stretched the sternum would "crack" that way and the tightness would be relieved. Pieter's message about the Kandal, the Sahasrara and the Hrdayam intrigued me, and this is something I'd like to learn more about. In the meantime, I'm simply noticing when this tight pain arrives, how it feels and what it may relate to. I rarely feel it during kriya or meditation. It pops up at other times.
