attn Gregor, Rachael, et al. Kundalini Symptoms?

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam Rachel,

Tune in properly, practice and listen to yourself, layout and then chant

sweetly. Are you doing that?

This mention of Kundalini "symptoms"...is something I heard before. It's

fear of the the unknown that make people want to label what's happening

with them a "symptom". You, I and others have had or are having an

imbalance that the light of day is finally being brought to bear on. You

may not be able to see it now but give thanks that this is coming up now

(how old are you?) and later, because it eventually would have, and

maybe as a major heart ailment fixed in your physical being. Right now

if you are able to go in and feel the unfelt you can do a lot of healing

on all levels. I speak from direct experience on this. I needed the help

of a good counselor 25 years ago to work through the physical heart

pains I was having before and during my Kundalini awakening. Since then

(and even after my very first session of Bio-energetics) I have been

pretty much pain free. I get depressed occasionally and feel heaviness

coming over my chest but I know what I need to do. I need to get in

touch with my fear, my sadness and my anger. Being a good detective is

part of the game. Like Columbo, you have to poke around asking yourself

these annoying questions, but eventually something will give itself up.

There are many tricks in my bag, after 25 years.

I once asked this Shakti Kundalini Master what happens if someone raises

their Kundalini but they haven't yet made the right commitments about

morality. Her answer, through her translator was "the kundalini will

slap you around until you get it".

Tune in properly, practice and listen to yourself, layout and then chant

sweetly.

Hang tight and get right with your Soul,

Dharam

Dharam,

 

I appreciate your kind intentions but I can tell you that I have been

looking into my heart and accepting my emotions for many many years

now. As I mentioned in the first post, I am 41 years old. Of course

there is always more to look at and more to accept.

 

I used the word "symptoms" because what I am currently concerned about

is the physical experience of the process. At the risk of boring the

group I will not list all the physical manifestations that have been

occuring. It is exceedingly painful and I understand now why old

people walk so slowly.

 

To say that people who have "bad morals" are more likely to encounter

a painful kundalini experience sounds horribly judgemental. Perhaps

you did not mean to imply that my morals are probably lacking but that

is how it sounds.

 

At the risk of sounding judgemental myself, you sound very naive. I

hope that you can refrain from judging another persons' charachter

based on their Kundalini experiences.

Cardamom is found in yogi tea, which is a highly recommended addition to the

diet. Also, there is an excellent exercise called Yoga Nidra - a kind of

relaxation/meditation. I have found it to help balance or release tensions

of all kind, regardless of the source. 4 a.m. is a time when the

subconscious is very active and lots of tensions emerge. Good time to

meditate.

Hi Rachael,

 

I'm simple but not naive and to the point, not judgemental. I type very slow and

so I am not one to be verbose(sp?).

 

There are Nams and Niyams. Things you do and things you don't do. This is the

first observance of the Eight Stems of Yoga. For the individual to sort out what

they really need to do (and not do), what is right or "moral" on a given

day/month/life may require a whole new perspective, and perhaps a new level of

discrimination. To gain that perspective may require patience. To gain that

patience may require a quantum leap in their energy level. That energy may only

be achieved through communication, both within oneself and with others. This

gives a kind of serenity. This telling of secrets opens the Pranic body which is

the most healing to us. I personally have had very few friends who I can let

down with and only one or two who I can absolutely bare all with. It ain't easy

but it is the blessing many of us are missing.....and I have to wonder if any

email group can ever, ever be a substitute for human contact. We can only

exchange ideas and information here.

 

You have to take me for my word when I say I am a survivor of Kundalini crisis.

I know what worked for me. I understand that somatic discomfort is a way our

body speaks to us when some aspect of our emotion (ego-motion?) is needing a

change. Our very posture, our action, our outlook need an adjustment and that

may only come with help from around us. Opening to others. The very concept of

"guru" is someone or something outside of us that is able to get through to us

and turn the poison into nectar. Also, "symptoms" often ascribed to being

Kundalini related are most often issues of Vata and/or Pitta imbalance. It would

be a real good thing to look into Frawley or Swoboda books on Ayurveda and bring

in Mother Nature......let's see if the Ahamkara is compromised. Let the Mother

be the final judge.....and forgiver.

 

Sat Nam,

 

Dharam
