Dear Christa,

 

W all practice at our capacity to hold and circulate and store

energy-consciousness (prana). I would suggest that raher than avoid the

pranayama kriyas, just take fewer breather, which is to say, instead of 15 to 25

or more, maybe 10 breaths. It's important to hold the breath with the root lock

at the end, followed by a few more breaths then hold again, then pause and let

the energy circulate, and be assimilates and stored in the cells of the body

afeted by the kriya. The pausing allows the body to transform bindu to ojas

(tamasic and rajasic energy into satvic energy).

 

As your body becomes capable of carryingreater voltage, you will suddenly notice

that your breathing becomes fuller and more powerful on its own and you execute

the postures and movements with a greater exuberance and confidence and watchful

awareness.

 

As the ida and pingala become charged and balanced, your emotional and physical

levels will also become balanced on their own, and the self-effulgent light of

your Self will prevail under, through and over all images and impressions

dissolving the notion of ego.

 

As you keep practicing, all this will emerge by itself.

 

Don't worry bout the Kundalini. What we speak about as Kundalini is part of a

physiological mechanism of awareness. For example, the mercury rises as it gets

hot. The Kundalini rises as your awareness shifts from ego centric to God

Centered, which is to say from the limited awareness of identity with the images

and impressions encoded throughout the body field to the limitless awareness of

your identity as single pervasive being, where the images no longer hold your

attention and actions come out of a spontanious intuition where no idea of a

doer remains. In other words, it's the heat of God's Name, realized to be our

True Self that awakens and dissolves the notion of an identity idea of the doer,

that causes the Kundalini mechanism to activate and rise.

 

>From the perspective of Christ (Luke 11:34) "The eye (seer) is the light of the

body. When thine eye is single, thy whole body will be filled with light."

which is to say, when you hold to the seer singly, the light of the seer, which

is Consciousness Itself (our True Self) will pervade and outshine everything.

Isolating, recognizing and centering in the seer is to become God Centered, as

God is the "I" of our sense of "I" the Seer of our seeing, the Light of our

consciousness, our True Self.

 

As the mind becomes electromagnetically still through Kundalini Yoga pratice as

taught by Yogi Bhajan, there is an inward pulling sensation and you feel the

reflection of the Self in the Heart like a sun, pulling from within and pouring

forth an all-pervading light.

 

All this is, in fact, much much closer than you might imagine. There's no time

or place or action or event through which or by which this is to be realized, as

it is True even now, and in a flash you "hear" the Truth and abide singly and

suddenly as pervasive being.

Re: Digest Number 1239 - Ida and Pingala Nadis Channel Cleansing / and

Part II Breath of Fire

 

Sat Nam Pieter!

 

I haven't seen you post recently. I must tell you though. I LOVE your posts. You

may not post that often, but when you do, I need to print them out and read them

several times because there's so much to be gained from them.

 

I'm familiar with some of the breathing kriyas you mentioned. I just started

doing the first breathing kriya you describe below this week. You had posted

that one in the last "Breath Series" post. I think doing that one was what made

me sensitive to the ida/pingala nadis during my meditation.

 

I will make a confession though. And this is probably out of ignorance as a

novice. I've been a bit hesitant on doing alternate nostril breathing or really

heavy pranayama. From what I've read/understood, that can 'jump start'

kundalini. And while I would like for that to happen, I don't want to 'force

it'. The past 6

months I've been focusing on trying to get my physical and emotional self in

shape through yoga, sort of preparing for the day. I'm probably being overly

cautious. But I didn't want to start something that I wasn't ready for. Does

that make sense? The peacefulness that I experienced the other night, though,

could be quite addictive. So

now I'm reading more about how to do some pranayama so that I can delve further

into myself. The results you describe is one of the things I've been striving

towards. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement.

 

Christa
