Guest guest Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 Response to question of Simon concerning the Solar Plexus and Bill regarding the Kundalini: There are some articles in http://www.kundalini-matashakti.com/kyarticles.html with information on this including: http://www.kundalini-matashakti.com/What%20is%20the%20One%20Star.doc and http://www.kundalini-matashakti.com/worddocuments/Pieter%27s%20articles/TenthGat\ e.doc The system you refer to involving the Solar Plexus is another of the mechanisms in the body. Buddha is often seen in a mudra with one hand above and the other below the Solar Plexus, depicting this as the Center of the Body. However, the Hrday Granthi is different. Kundalini is awareness of consciousness. Consciousness is all pervasive, the ground of everything, the screen upon which everything appears, infinite in energy and infinite in Being. As awareness expands, due to the emptying of the mind of attachment, there is a chemical electric build up that triggers all these mechanisms. this is also the experience of those that practice Kundalini yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan. Find out for yourself. The following should be interesting as well: In Kundalini Yoga, the most important thing is experience. Your experience goes right into your heart. No words can replace that experience. Your consciousness will not accept just words. Your mind may accept the words or it may not. The purpose of all our effort is simply to extent your awareness in your consciousness, so you can have a broader horizon of grace and of knowing the Truth. When you have this foundation in experience and a base of positive habits, then you can smoothly plan your life to any extent you like. You can radiate creativity and infinity in all aspects of your dally life. This is the practical result of yoga. It is the capacity and right to live a happy, healthy and holy life. That is why we call our yoga family 3HO (Happy, Healthy, Holy Organization). Yogi Bhajan 1970 What is Kundalini? You experience it when the energy of the glandular system combines with the nervous system to create such sensitivity that the brain in its totality receives signals and integrates them. Normally, you use a small portion of the brain’s potential. A new clarity accompanies your perception, thought and intuition. When kundalini awakens, a person understands the effect and impact of an action at the beginning of a sequence of actions and reaction. He has the choice to take the action or not take the action. In other words, a person becomes totally and wholly aware. That is why it is called the “yoga of awareness.” Just as all rivers end up in the ocean, all yogas end up raising the Kundalini. What is the Kundalini? It is the creative potential of the human being. To get this experience a little technology is needed. After the 8th year of life, the pineal gland does not secrete fully. Some people think it is functionless in the human structure. Kundalini yoga activates its dormant potential in the brain. It needs to tap the reserve energy that is stored near your belly-button area, the navel point. There is a pure source of energy at the navel area that is known, perceived and understood by Yogis. It is that pure energy that guides and develops your shape and connects you to this earth. That connection and that pure energy is still there. It is part of your subtle structure as a human being. All you have to do is uncoil that energy and make a functional connection with your pineal gland. Once that master gland, the channel of the soul, has started secreting, it will give will give you the power to reach your self-realization in relationship to the total universal awareness.” Sources from Yogi Bhajan Lectures Yogi Bhajan explained that we often feel inadequate or in need. Then we generate desires to calm the insecurity. We reach for many things to satisfy that feeling of inner weakness. Ultimately, nothing really works. So, we turn to the infinite, the unknown and the idea of God. “God” as a concept is something that we created. We often experience that, based on our own mind. It is the mind experiencing the mind’s belief. The reality of God and consciousness is beyond that and cannot be contained in any special imagination. Part of that reality is that you are a flow of energies. You have 10 bodies that allow you to act in many realms. When the energy bubble that is your personal aura is tuned to the universal magnetic field, you are well mentally and physically. There are specific ways you can trigger the inflow of the cosmic life energy Yogi Bhajan 10/22/89 -- - Message: 3 Mon, 8 Sep 2003 02:04:01 -0400 "Bill Cunningham" <billc2911 Kundalini Can someone with some one on one experience with a teacher explain to me what the kundalini rising into the head is good for? I know it strengthens meditation and may cause clairvoyance. I'm going to begin doing the lessons talked about at www.kundaliniyoga.com and hope they work.
