We all start >>out honestly feeling our emotions and trusting our body and the >>messages they convey through intuition. As we grow older often we >>are taught to ignore these messages because they are inconvenient >>for our parents, teachers and society. You are indeed blessed to >>have such an open relationship with yourself >> >>One of the key aims of any meditative practice or yoga is to become >>aware of the inner guru (inner teacher) and ultimately to be guided >>by the inner guru. Another of the key aims is to come to truly know >>oneself so that one may walk through the world and interact with >>reality without projections, assumptions and the ignorance that is >>at the heart of so much misery and suffering that we cause for >>ourselves and others both individually and collectively. All true >>teachers are also students and truly the path of the yogi or yogini >>is one that never ends. Just as there is no end, there is no >>particular starting point either. Which is not to say that there >>aren't levels of development and entry points into practice. >> >>it is always best to learn from an experienced teacher, so if you >>are interested in practicing kundalini yoga you would be best off >>seeking a teacher to guide you as you learn the particulars of the >>practice. You can find teachers in your area through yoga alliance >>or by simply googling kundalini yoga and your area. To find out >>more about chakras simply google "charkras" and you will find many >>sites dedicated to explaining what they are, and of course you can >>check the site associated with this list. You would be well advised >>to learn from an experienced teacher simply because kundalini yoga >>is >>designed to quickly awaken energy, also teachers who belong to yoga >>alliance or other organizations that have clear rules about teacher >>conduct are expected to act in full integrity and not exploit their >>students. >> >>One note of caution, some people interested in kundalini are >>travelling a path of less integrity where they are mainly >>interested in tantra from a sexual aspect (not that there is >>anything implicityly wrong with sex or sexual practice as a minor >>part of a balanced tantric practice). However some people are >>attracted to kundalini practices as a way to have sexual power over >>others or to exploit the naive (or are unready themselves to really >>manage kundalini energy on the heart level). Even an unbalanced >>awakened kundalini or kundalini used to destructive ends can make >>someone appear very attractive and charismatic to those who aren't >>aware of what the energy is. For this reason one should always seek >>out an experienced teacher who truly has the best interest of the >>student at heart, and who does not seek to gain power over or >>exploit the student sexually, emotionally or spiritually. A >>"teacher" who is too emotionally engaged with a student will not >>have the clarity and distance to be able to separate their own >>desires from what is best for the student. This can be very >>destructive for all involved. Finally, listen to your own intuition >>and don't allow your desires for what you wish to be true to be >>cloud your perception of what truly is. >> >>blessings on your journey, may your heart be protected and your >>soul enlightened >>ovasoul >>> >>> >>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
