Exercise set for kidneys & heart chakra

[Guest guest]

I wanted to share with all of you the progress I'm making on opening

up my heart chakra. I've been doing the side twists, modified, like

Gururattan had suggested and I feel much better in that position.

I've also been doing the meditation/mantra for opening the Heart

Center (the mantra is 'hum' but I forget the official name of the

med) as well as some extra sets (cobra, camel pose, etc) focusing on

this area. I haven't been having the wheezing and tightness anymore

and was pleased (and relieved)) with that. Those feelings were a

little scary for me. I was afraid there might be something wrong with

my heart or lungs.

 

But last night I did the exercise set for the kidneys that is posted

on the ky.org site. (I hadn't realized how out of shape my legs are!

I'll be doing that one much more often now.) But the meditation at

the end is the Kunchan mudra, which I had never tried before. It took

me a couple of tries to get all of the positions right, but I

couldn't hold it for the full 5 minutes. I've had a small syst in my

right wrist for years and anytime I apply pressure to the palm of the

hand (pushing down or back) it 'gives out' pretty quickly. But I was

able to hold it for 2 minutes. Afterwards, I just sat in easy pose

to 'feel' the effects. There was a 'surprise waiting for me when I

did that. I could actually feel a ball of energy pulsing at my heart

center! I was completely dumbfounded, because I had assumed the kriya

was only focusing on the lower 3 chakras. Also because I have been

having trouble opening this chakra. But for the first time EVER, I

could feel my heart center.

 

I feel like there is this huge door that is now slowly beginning to

creek open. And I'm doing it myself. And by that I don't mean I'm

doing it 'by myself' but rather I'm lucky enough to have found ky and

this list. I didn't need to go outside to find 'forgiveness'

or 'healing'. I've been able to accomplish this within myself through

the help and advice of this list and lessons from the internet as

well as from books.

 

Thanks for all of the support and help everyone!

Dear Christa and All,

 

What fabulous progress you are making!! You confirm how I teach -- just do

it!! We never know what sets are going to give us what results and it

doesn't matter. Our energy opens up when it is right for us. Staying

present to ourselves is very important, otherwise we might miss some this

these awesome gifts. The fun has just begun.

 

Also interesting that your heart opens up while the Sun is in Leo. My gifts

today were very much Leo-Heart gifts too -- basically the simple pleasure of

loving myself and my life.

 

Sat Nam,
