Body shakes

[Guest guest]

Dear AKkama avanti,

 

Yes, you're describing the movement of shakti through the nadis and chakras.

This has a purifying effect. Don't be anxious about it. Everyone's system is

different. Some people begin to experience throughout their bodies and around

their bodies a sort of an electric radiance that, as you say, has a softening

effect. It's hard to describe. You feel a sort of melting, lightenning,

transparency, energy flow and expansion within and through the cells and atoms

of your body.

 

As you say, eventually this evens out.

 

People practicing the KY of Yogi Bhajan begin to feel this early on, in various

parts of their bodies, and suffusing and penetrating steadily deeper, as the

body begins to build a charge.

 

Some people also have these shakti penetrating movements, such as shaking or

some deep body movement that takes over automatically, sometimes even

manifesting as a yoga posture or movement or pranayama. Inwardly just relax, be

passive, notice and release, accept and it will even out. If you try to grip it

with your attention, it may (or not) create some sense of distress or confusion.

 

KY, as all yogas, are a practice of applied awareness. Keep the mind still,

which will happen anyway as the energy vibration (voltage) increases above the

frequency of thoughts and images, and after the active part of each KY exercise,

just wait and watch and you will feel a flowing sensation of decontraction in

the area the KY exercise impacted, then a sense of radiance in that area that

begins to flow and balance throughout the body. This is the secretion of glands

of the body that comes in to support the enectric charge placed on some part of

the body through posture and breathing and the effect of sound amplified through

and around the body, when the voltage of the nervious (nadi) system is

increased.

 

Also at the end of every set or kriya, take some time to relax deeply (yoga

nidra) to allow the body systems to consolidate and integrate the energies

accumulated and generated throughout the specific set you are practicing.

 

Practice very day, develop a sadhana (daily spiritual practice) and everything

will advance for you on its own. Your system will pass almost relentlessly

through every stage, where in other yogas people get hung up for years.

 

As this electric radiance begins to even out and the polarization of the atoms

of the body normalize, the cosmic voltage will pass through more and more

evenly, and you will notice your Self abiding more and more deeply in the

expanding still flow of that awareness, until you begin to realize that this

awareness is actually the awareness of the Infinite Being flowing through and

illuminating your mind and body, and you awaken to the discovery "I am That."

 

The energy channels of the body the nadis, are like the fillaments in light

bulbd. As the charge in the body begins to increase, you begin to be able to

see from an illumined perspective in, through and around the body, as single

pervasive awareness, no longer gripping and focusing on the thoughts and images

perculating up into the mind. What Yogi Bhajan calls our "body armor" begins to

dissolve, and your awareness simply disengages from focused attention and abides

in knowing and being.

 

Someplace in that deepening, lightening, softening, releasing flow of energy,

there is a sense of a discriminative faculty that emerges in your consciousness,

through which you begin to know that the light of the seer and objects seen

within the pervasive screne of awareness you abide in are different, and your

mind will be drawn into that with a sense of ever deepening enquiry as to where

the source of the light of the seer arises. This will begin to be discovered to

be in the Harimandr of the Heart, to the right of the sternum, where you will

feel a sense of steady abiding, like being grounded in your own being,

transfixes, like a magnet around which everything aligns and is drawn into, from

where thoughts can no longer arise. Just remain steady and you will begin to

notice that you are passing through, releasing, even the sense of radiant bliss

the body (ananda) passes through, a sort of delinking of the "I" from the body

and mind, wherein you become more and more like the sun, radiant, even, giving

caring, indiscriminantly, as though the entire mind enters the surrendering

stream of the soundless sound of sound "whaaa..."

 

In a word, just "Keep Up!"

 

Whahe Guru, Whahe Guru, Whahe Guru, Whahe Guru, Whahe Guru, Whahe Guru, Whahe

Guru, Whahe Guru, Whahe Guru, Whahe Guru, Whahe Guru, ..... (reverberating

through every pour of the body, through every cell, beyond beyond..)

Re: Body Shakes

 

SAT NAM,

BOth ways.

Body parts like arms and legs, shake during excercise when I hold for a maybe

slightly longer time when energy flows. The entire body rocks by itself during

and after meditation while I feel the energy rising. It has a

pleasant feeling and it is involuntary and that happens until the energy rises

itself and balances out. It varies from anywhere between 1 min to 3-4 min

depending on how intense the meditation is.

 

Also, when I do BOF then the lower stomach muscles will be flickering inside and

feels somewhat tender. These days I notice that my whole body, all cells,

changing like becoming soft and undergoing transforamtion. The energy inside me

is constantly there and kind of makes me feel sick .

 

I practice Yoga by myself following KY rules and do not have a yoga teacher in

this state.

 

Thanks
