Solar Plexus Releases

[Guest guest]

Dear Kathy,

 

All I can say is that you should find a Kundalini Yoga teacher in your area and

take up a regular practice. Gradually, the body will fill with radiance, and all

these systems we talk about will begin to open themselves.

 

In reality, everything is automatic, happens by itself without the notion of a

doer. the surface mind attached to a limited conglomeration of images and

impressions, presents the surface mind - the individual unit of consciousness -

with pictures based on these impressions.

 

As the body becomes more and more radiant, through the practice of applied

awareness in the various postures, movements combined with breathing, and the

specific effect of mantra on the radiant body, the subconscious, which is the

storehouse of these images and impressions begins to dissolve in the prevailing

radiance, like our attachment to images in a movie screen wanes, as the light in

the projector is turned up, fading the screen to white.

 

Suddenly, there is an impact of the "I"-consciousness with the unconscious.

This unconscious is the undifferentiated seamless appearance of the universe

within the Infinite Being.

 

At first an Intelligent force is felt in the mind - permeating the body inside

and outside - that abides as the seer and does not allow images (or impressions

or notions or conceptualizations, even the ideas of time, space being and

non-being) to appear in the mind, then you realize/recollect your Self to be

pervasive consciousness, beyond silence, within which the universe appears.

 

The idea of subject and object becomes entirely meaningless, as these are simply

impressions related to the appearance of the universe on the surface, but now

you see with the eye of the Self, wherein reflected consciousness of the mind

has no more use.

 

The experience is ineffable, etheric, spacelike "with no exertion of the mind's

power" of attention.

 

For a Buddhist description of this, link to

http://www.kundalini-matashakti.com/worddocuments/Sravana/Zen1.rtf

 

In Kundalini yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, this practice and experience is

called the One Star Spirituality.

 

I can send you more information explaining the yoga and it's practice. Then,

when you begin the practice, you will understand that the whole process is very

straight forward, systematic.

 

This surface consciousness is like a morning mist. With the practice of

Kundalini Yoga, the sun in the heart rapidly burns off the mist and what's left

outshines everything.

Solar Plexus Releases

 

Pieter and Empath... you touched on something that I haven't had the proper

forum to ask questions until now. Hopefully this group would help me unwind

some confusion about what I have been experiencing.

 

I've been having "releases" involuntary expansion/contraction in my solar plexus

- especially when I am processing or finished processing some deep emotional

"stuff". A psychic told me they are kriyas. Are they? Another one told me it

was blockage of energy flow. A qigong practitioner told me to push the energy

to earth in the horse stance (a basic martial arts stance). Here in this forum

it seems that the goal is to have the energy seek itself upwards.

 

Anyway, lately I have had an awareness that my heart chakra was a little shut

down. I feel like it's just going through some renovation and closed for

reconstruction. But I have also been reading a book on Soul Love by Sanaya

Roman that seeks to "Lift solar plexus energy into your heart center to be

transformed into love." I've been working on that.

 

Pieter especially struck a chord when you talked of Buddhism and martial arts

with regards to solar plexus energy. I was raised in the Jodo Shinshu sect in

California (a "whitewashed" version of Buddhism - my mother could have doubled

as "church lady" on SNL). My deceased grandmother who I am sure are one of my

ancestral guides was a strict Zen Buddhist and practiced shiatsu. I studied

Kenpo Karate and Tai Chi before I landed in yoga. I am really drawn to Tibetan

Buddhism.

 

Anyway - whatever you call what I am experiencing - I feel very lethargic right

before these episodes. After the releases I am a little quiet, but I get right

up and feel a lot more energy than before. So it can't be all that bad. I

experienced them half an hour ago. I guess the goal is to have energy flow more

regulated and constant rather than up and down?

 

Your thoughts?

Sat Nam Pieter,

 

I've read your posting addressed to Kathy.

I'm interested in more information explaining the yoga and practice of the

"One Star Spirituality."

Sat Nam from Indianapolis!

 

Today is Summer Solstice, when the sun is at its peak

in the sky at a 90 degree angle. I wish everyone a

wonderful Summer Solstice -- those who are in New

Mexico, such as my teacher Mahan Kalpa Singh, and

those who are at home.

 

I am new to the list and would like to say how much I

enjoy reading the postings from everyone. In two

hours I will be teaching Surya Kriya, from the Sadhana

book and Subagh Kriya at Eagle Creek Park! Sada Sat

Kaur had suggested these kriyas as a way to celebrate.

I'm on my way to pick up a dozen white roses to pass

out to my class when we have tea and cookies.

 

I would love to hear how others are celebrating Summer

Solstice!

 

Love and light,

 

Sat Bachan Kaur
