chestpain ........related to anxiety

[Guest guest]

Ditto all that! Thank you Dr. Sham Rang

Singh for putting it in such pragmatic terms.

And I'd like to add that the full experience of our latent potential

(Kundalini) is in not only raising the "energy of spirit" upward

through our efforts and practices, but in allowing a downward flow of

the energy, also. This is the Nectar, the Ambrosia, the Soma. It is

something that one has to "let" and receive, and is not something that

one can "get" by our grasping. This is the cooling Moon energy.

Allowing the flow of emotions brings us much closer to that door as our

hearts open and we relinquish the illusion of control. Our disciplines

and practices are the Shakti and/but the full flowering of it all comes

through Bhakti, devotion, but in a deeply organic, personal and

contained way. As Kirantana pointed out earlier, "All teachings from

the East were a little weak in this area". Just being "devoted" doesn't

insure that all your meridians will be clear. One really has to Bow

Down and really be in their own experiences BUT with a sense of

hope.The heart loves to submit. The heart muscle needs this. You can

put it all back together later on.

 

I love listening to a little down home Gospel, occasionally, to get

things moving.

I love this preacher's way of wording things. Check out.....

And if you can see Jesus as simply the most positive and compassionate

manifestation of the Kundalini, then you're all set. There's no Problem.

 

Another thought... LK, anyone near you with a Gong?

Interesting to me that emotional work and So Darshan Chakra

Kriya have come up together in this thread. For years, my practice has

been to "scan the system" during my practice of So Darshan, looking

for emotional residue (called "ama" in Ayurveda) that might have come

up in the previous 24 hours or so. Western psychology says that

emotions are stored in the body, like in the case of chest pain in this

discussion. Emotions are also stored in our mind in the form of the

stories we tell ourselves. The "trick" to releasing this ama, in my

experience, is to fully feel the emotion while simultaneously

maintaining the mantra and meditation form. The greater I can

authentically feel the emotion, while doing the practice, the more

effectively it is released into the ethers. Or, more accurately, the

energy is converted into its higher form, the spiritual essence from

which it came (thus emotion is converted into devotion, as YogiJi

taught).

 

This is a very simple, though difficulty practice. The effects

are marvelous, though. When physical and mental ama are released, the

yogic channels open and energy pours through, healing everything in its

path. The difficult part is that the attention tends to collect in

areas of physical and mental pain, and especially in the stories we use

to justify the existence of this pain. Our egoic self does not want to

experience the actual emotional feeling, but prefers to distract into

mental chatter about the feeling. If we refuse to actually feel the

feeling, then it remains in storage for the future. Thus emotions

settle more deeply into subconscious and physical manifestations.

 

When you no longer shy away from uncomfortable physical or

mental feelings, and truly explore them with curiosity and a spiritual

context, then the whole trip becomes exciting. Bring it on! Show me

where the internal pain is so I can experience it and release the

suffering. Yee Haa!

 

Though So Darshan is a great place to do this work, it can be

done in any spiritual practice, I believe. And the best place to do it

is White Tantric. So if some pain shows up during Tantric, it can be a

great blessing in timing, and great healing can take place.
