Sodarchan Chakra Kriya

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam!

 

I was just wondering what are people's experiences with this kriya. I am building up

to 31 minutes and at that time I will began my 40 day cycle. Unlike other kriyas, this

one just breezes by. One thing I have definitely noticed is I get extremely hot. My

clothes get almost drenched with perspiration. Because of that, I've begun doing it in

the evenings after work and following it up with the Kriya for "Healing the Physical,

Mental and Spiritual Bodies." I am also doing Triple Mantra & the Cross-Heart Kirtan

Kriya in the mornings. I guess you can say I am really cleaning the internal house.

 

Anyway, just looking for a bit of feedback as to people's experiences, external as well

as internal.

 

Thanks so much.

Sat Nam,

Im on day one hundred holding steady at 11mins. Doing the first 40 days at 5-7mins and i went through plenty of changes. I found that before I´d try to do 31mins for 40 days and there was just so much resistence and pain surfacing that i could never get past 3 weeks.for two years. Start slowly with 5mins. and slowly work up to 11mins then 31mins. The slower the better- YB. This has been my experience. Also I´ve been told to do some spinal warm ups or a kriya before SCK to bring down the prana and avoid a dingy spaced out feeling. Stuff surfaces then you release then more stuff comes then another release. Each successive time releasing becomes easier but if can be tough so take it slow even not much seems to be happening by day 30-40 you should get a breakthrough. Just when you feel at your crappiest it will come so keep up then you´ll be blissed out for a few days and everything flows. Also, don´t try to do too many meditations at once pick two and go for it for a 1000

days. Back off on days when things are getting intense to 5 mins or 11mins for the other meditation. Mahan Gyan mudra has helped me get through those intense days. Realistically choose how much time you can comitt to say 1 hour daily and stick with it. It better to do a little everyday for a long time than alot for a short time then stop. Hope this helps!

Hey Kimberlie aka spiderwoman,

 

I have finished 31 minutes for 40 days. It was not

easy.

 

I had to sleep around 30 minutes after I finished

Sodarchan. If I failed to do that I would get super

angry and easily agitated at small things, I would

yell at people too. It was weird.

 

I moved up to 1 hour about 15 days after I completed

40 days of 31min and now I am at 1h and 32 minutes, it

has been about 5 days, so I will do Sodarchan until

Jan 14th for 1h and 32 min. My plan is to build up to

2h and 30 minutes after I get a discipline boost from

summer solstice sadhanna.

 

The effects are about the same as before. Sometimes I

get super annoyed with/at everything and sometimes I

am in the state of euphoria. The cool thing is that

after the timer rings I suspend the breath for some

time and my mind dives in to total peace. Then I shake

up for 1 minute in one place and meditate silently.

That feels great. Bliss….

 

The annoying part:

I do the Sodarchan at 4:30 am after a cold

shower/short warm-up. Sometimes when I wake up my left

nostril is totally clogged up, so I have to force the

in breath for several minutes until it unclogs itself

- that is a living hell. But its fun times never the

less, I get a great sense of accomplishment after

Sodarchan is complete.

 

Also I have to watch out how much water I drink in the

morning. Therefore I have to follow the voice within,

if I drink too much the urge to urinate comes during

Sodarchan and the hell intensifies. Imagine wanting to

urinate real bad and pumping the navel also forcing

the breath in thought the left nostril.

 

Good Thing:

After the Sodarchan is complete the nostrils are

unclogged. Navel feels great and I feel the pulse. I

feel strong and mighty! Also events in my life become

smoother and I worry much less, my digestion works

very well.

 

Challenges: Staying with the mantra with the balanced

rhythm while pumping the navel and remaining in

shunnia for the duration of 1h and 32 minutes. The

mind should be in suspension and not wonder or else

boredom and discomfort starts the attack.

 

It’s a good discipline to place the timer behind you

or turn it around, if you look at the timer to see how

much time is left its CHEATING. I did it this morning,

bleh….

 

You mentioned heat. I get no heat, temperature is the

same. Sometimes I see allot of white light and my body

vibrates when I don’t have to fight the left nostril

problem. Also my hands get lots of healing energy in

them.

 

That’s about it for now.

 

Wha-Hey guru – summer solstice event is next week

baby yeh….

"He who thinks himself different from the Guru is in duality. Therefore, I lay stress time and time again on this fact that if you remain attached to the physical existence of any Guru, you shall not get liberation. Our mind is within and our thoughts are also within.

 

The questioner within is the disciple, and he who answers within is the Guru. When the questioner gets satisfactory answers to all his queries, he becomes silent.

 

When our mind does not have any more questions or when your mind has no desire to know anything, it becomes silent. This state of silent is known as the union of Guru and disciple."

Sat Nam, Spiderwoman,

 

I have been doing SCK for almost 500 days. saying this kind of blows

my mind, as sticking to things has never been a strong point of mine.

And SCK was an incredibly difficult kriya for me to do at first --

I've had asthma since childhood and I used to feel like I was going to

expire when on the 28th or 29th pump. Now, however, I find that the

most challenging part of the kriya is paying really close attention to

the mantra, to the stomach pumps and to the driste (tip of the nose).

My mind drifts, a lot, and then I find I'm struggling in the kriya.

In short, I think it works just like it's supposed to. Occasionally I

get really hot.

 

Side effects: I feel like I can do anything. :-)

 

Love,

 

Avneesh

SAT NAM,

 

To relieve from a blocked nose,

Do in place jogging for 2-3mins , with hands perpendicular to the ground straight out at the shoulder level.

Fists should be closed, in the sense all the four fingers close over the thumb.

 

Practice Siddhasana to stay close 3 hours at a stretch without moving, it is a very powerful asana which can hold the body in a very comfortable position without feeling hungry, need to urinate or thirsty.

 

thanks

Akkama

Yes, as with you I find Sodarshan a tapa (fiery, cleansing) producing

kriya. Even in the coolest part of the morning, the amrit vehla, in

the coldest part of the year, I find drops of perspiration dripping

from my elbows. It is a purifying practice. Connecting the navel point

with the mantra with the focus in the upper triangle does that I guess.

I would also bet that some folks reaction to it is totally different

but no less valid. That is one of the many things that makes Kundalini

Yoga so beautiful and so effective. The same practice will have

different effects on different people simply because their needs (what

they have to work on) are different.

And even within the same person reaction to such a kriya will have

varied affects on mental, physical & spiritual levels. I often tell

students who have studied Hatha yoga that the asanas they have learned

are like a tool box full of hammers, screwdrivers, saws, etc. Thgey

are each useful and effective in their own specific way. With

Kundalini Yoga, though you have a toolbox full of Swiss Army Knives!!!

Multipurpose tools, effective for a variety of purposes, ailments,

karmas, and so forth.
