Guest guest Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Sat Nam, I almost put this under the electrical energy discussion, however, it is slightly different and deserves its own thread. I have had questions about Kundalini Energy and why there seems to be no books on it or discussions. Then, I came across this website with this information on it: http://www.nanakdevsingh.com/rescue.html The untold truth about the power and the dangers of practicing Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan. There is no question in my mind that Kundalini Yoga is the most powerful personal transformation technique on the planet. I should know - I have practiced it and many others for nearly four decades! The danger comes by mixing ignorance and power. Simply said, anything with such huge power as the Kundalini must be completely understood to be able to be completely controlled. Otherwise the results can be catastrophic. I have recently seen a number of Kundalini Yoga students who are having powerful but disturbing experiences during or after the practice of Kundalini Yoga. Their symptoms are one or all of the following: • Extreme heat at the base of the spine or moving around the spine • Bright or flashing lights • Strong electrical sensations throughout the body • Strong humming sound heard inside. So what is their problem?!! Nothing. You are practicing Kundalini Yoga, that is what is supposed to happen. These are the classical signs of the Kundalini being activated. This is a blessed moment the Kundalini is about to rise, your life is about to take a huge step towards perfection. Nowhere in Yogi Bhajan's published yoga manuals or teacher training manuals is the Kundalini activation – Kundalini Raising and the possible side effects – discussed. The result is that when such an events takes place the students are not properly prepared for it and are often overwhelmed frightened and confused by it. And since most Kundalini Yoga teachers have never had activation or raising they are just as unaware as the student !!! This is exactly why many believe Kundalini and Kundalini Yoga to be dangerous. Besides the above mentioned symptoms, there are numerous hallucinations which may occur during a normal Kundalini activation, many of which can be very pleasing. But if you don't know the meaning of what you are experiencing it can be at least stressful. When activation occurs, with the associated side effects mentioned above, the Bhram Nadi (the central of four nadis held within the Shushmna) must be opened to allow the Kundalini to rise through it. This is done by uniting the Shushumna and Alambousa Nadis through contraction of Mul Bhand - Maha Bhand. It is only through the Bhram Nadi that the Kundalini will travel up the full length of the spine and eventually reach the cerebral cortex. Which is its final destination and where the transformation of consciousness takes place. Giving any person who has the money the right to teach such powerful techniques as Sat Kriya or Sodharshan Chakra Kriya ect. without giving the complete Vidya (knowledge) to them is like training a chimpanzee to drive a car and then giving them a Ferrari. In a rush to popularize, commercialize and profit from the blessed power of the Kundalini, those who market and live of Kundalini Yoga, have omitted vital information about its safe practice. Ask your Kundalini Yoga teacher about Kundalini activation and rising before you practice with them! On this page I have listed Signs and Symptoms of Kundalini Awakening http://www.kundaliniyogainfocntr.com/page/Signs+of+Kundalini+Energy+Awakening+-+\ New Just recently, a man contacted me, says he started mediating and had a wonderful experience which he does not want to lose, but the entire experience has scared him to the point that he is not going to meditate any more, has young kids is his reason, he is apparently not interested in coming on to this forum or anything else? I tried. In 1985 when my crown chakra blew off, there was 2 books on Kundalini Energy, " Autobiorgraph of a Yogi " and a book by Dr Lee Snalla (spelling may not be right) -- I had nothing to go on, but wonderful experiences. I did not know how to maintain the inner connection and I did lose it. I have almost gained it back twice now. I am sure that many of you Kundalini Yoga Teachers have had your own experiences -- but almost none of you have written anything on it. (that I know about) There were a few posts in this group on the non-dual experience, interesting reading. Still I only know of 2 people that have admited to it. Pieter who teaches in Thaihland and maybe one other. It is time to take this subject out of the closet and admit to it and admit to how you have maintained the inner connection until it was solid. I would hate to think, that with all this practice, some of you have put in 40 years, that you are still a beginner and have not reached some of the higher states of mind, non-dual enlightment which I feel are... .... are kind of, stacked, like pancakes, one on top of the other.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Hello Sat Avatar...that is an excellent post. I have worried about that myself, how some of the new teachers were going to get the intensity if training we had in the beginning. It was so much easier when we lived in ashrams, now there are no live-in ashrams left. Non-duel experience, I guess I thought that was something you just kept personal, but if you think it would be helpful to people to hear about that I will certainly contribute over the next few weeks. And I am excite to find Nanak Dev in your posting. I left 3HO many years ago and I have not talked to him in decades. We were great friends, we lived in the famous Hermosa Beach surfing ashram together LOL. we finished shadna by 6:30, put on the wet suites and hit the waves. Those were fun days. I'm going to contact him right away...one of the best men and dedicated yogis I know.....Thank You I'll think about this over the next week...

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I feel both excited and overwhelmed entering this discussion. I definitely want " it " out of the closet, yet this thread can go many ways...perhaps we will make a new blanket, ready for winter. My contribution is with the basic understanding of Kundalini Yoga being openingly taught (in case someone has missed the historic context). I will also post a quote from Nanak Dev's website; as I was left with an edgy feeling after reading and perhaps others were too; what does Nanak Dev Singh think of Yogi Bhajan. Yogi Bhajan's perspective of Kundalini Yoga as " non dangerous " had to do with Kundalini Yoga not being taught openly. Kundalini yoga would still be secret unless Yogi Bhajan gets through this door both personally and with the teachings of kundalini yoga. At issue, was not the openness but being taught " from ego " . To Yogi Bhajan's credit he taught openly (without ego and didn't die…as the scriptures said) and shared that knowledge to all (remember until the 1960's, no sacred spiritual yogic teachings were taught to you until you were so humble…carried water for " lifetimes " ). I went on Nanak Dev's website (check out the video with all the gongs!), he had a link to Yogi Bhajan and this quote below. Although he takes issue with " dangerous', seem he got what he wanted from the teachings. " I would spend the next thirty two years studying Kundalini Yoga and White Tantric with Yogi Bhajan. He took my hippie spirituality and turbo charged it. I became a Sikh, married a Sikh had Sikh children and lived in Sikh communities. It was like living in a spiritual pressure cooker 24/7/ 365 for 30 years. Being a student of Yogi Bhajan was a path of blood, sweat and tears, it was the hardest thing I ever did. As a matter of fact it is all I did for the past thirty years. But just as he predicated all the pressure and heat turned this dirty old piece of coal into a nice little sparkling diamond, well Ok at least a crystal. " Yogi Bhajan wanted us to be ten times as great as him…coming out party...what are you going to wear! Sat Ganesha Singh " participate, share, contribute " Kundalini-Yoga , " MyraL " <myralorey wrote: > > Sat Nam, > > I almost put this under the electrical energy discussion, however, it is slightly different and deserves its own thread. > > I have had questions about Kundalini Energy and why there seems to be no books on it or discussions.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Sat to your NamThank you for bringing this out of the closet ! this is such a necessary topic!Let me start with a brief personal exeprience with the activation of Kundalini energy , I had a spontaneous awakening almost 8 years ago , I was NOT doing Kundalini yoga I had been in search of wellness not enlightenment and was NOT trying to raise my Kundalini, It just happened one night on a full moon as I sat to honor the moon in a personal ceremony. and BAM she shot up my spine in pure blisss . That moment was bliss what follows in the years ahead is what I call my Bi-Polar kundalini as she will cleanse and purify you on all levels brining you on a roller coaster ride . So there really is no Holding on to one expereince as there are many that come with the surrender to the energy one really has no choice but to surrender and most of all release the fear of the energy other wise it becomes unbearable. With this said I came to Kundalini yoga about 4 years ago in a moment of deep personal crisis as kundalnin energy will do that to you, I knew what wellness was and I wanted it back. My inner guidance brought me to the yoga. And then decided to do the teachers training. I do not teach Kundalini yoga at this time.While I agree very much so with this posting, Lets be very clear there is NO easy awakening and just because you do the yoga for 40 years does not mean your Kundalini has awakened. I have meet some long timers to the yoga who have a strong pranic body but no kundalini activation. Prana and Kundalni are 2 different energies. And while this is a vast technology NOT a religion, I have personally been blending other modalities with it as we are moving to a heart centered world not the world of the mind and this Yoga has a very strong emphasis on the mind it needs to be moved to the heart as I have found other tools to take me there that blend well with the yoga. There is NOT any one technology on the planet that has all the answers for every one, God did that by design any way off track here... as to the energy of kundalini . ......IMHO This yoga should come with a warning and NOT be taught by anyone who has not expereinced the activation as they will not be able to help the students who sit in front of them when it happens to them. Kundalini energy is intense , I just had a friend awaken hers and it sent her to bed for 6 weeks in all sorts of symptoms and experience, she was not prepared for and she can no longer do Kundalini yoga . As my kundalini reignited a few years ago I can now only do the yoga 3-4 times a week more than that and it is just to intense of energy and to much energy being sent to the pineal gland.here area few websites that have been very helpful http://biologyofkundalini.com ... http://kundalini-support.com ......http://www.kundalini-gateway.org/With all this said while there are similarities in the expereince of the energy everyone is unique and so will be ones expereince of Kundalini energy. And what an awakened person looks like is not always what you think it will be as well! They too will have a unique vibration and expression of the divinity that is all their own.PeaceNarayanwww.narayanbeauty.comSat Nam,I almost put this under the electrical energy discussion, however, it is slightly different and deserves its own thread.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Sat NamI have posted this before, but I feel it could be useful again now. " When the kundalini rises in a person, his radiance increases, his arcline increases and his strength of aura increases. He does not start yelling and going berserk; that is not the effect of the kundalini rising. Yoga is a tool, it is an instrument of Infinity. It is a science through which a person works. It is just like electric current passing through a light bulb. It doesn't matter if the bulb is seventy-five watts or three watts, the current will still make the light shine. It won't burn any filament. It will give light to everybody. And one thing it gives to all, it does not allow a person to be depressed. Whether you call it serpent power, kundalini, the power of Soul Consciousness or Divine Consciousness, the gift of this divine energy gives a person equilibrium. You must remember that whenever your mind is in a state of equilibrium, you will be radiant. Your spirit will rise like the tide. When the moon is near the Earth, there is a high tide. The same thing happens to the spirit of a person. When one is near God, one's spirit is high and radiance is there; the arcline flashes bright and beautiful. " (February 19, 1976)Uttamjit, Rome.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Great post Sat Avtar! I'm gonna go ahead and say that we should probably, as teachers, be more frequent and persuasive to our students about wearing head coverings while practicing. I think that we often skirt that issue because its more acceptable not to press this facet of KY practice, but with Kundalini energy rising fast, this is one of the best ways of controlling the effects---it has been for me. I was experiencing a lot of sensations early on in my practice, and found that covering my head (turban-style with pressure around my scalp, not just a light headcovering) was the only way I could stay centered. Also, being kind and allowing the body to do what it needs to do after practicing KY, ie sleeping more, drinking more water, mindful eating, etc, are all important to do, esp when starting to practice KY. Other things I feel occasionally when not doing yoga (rushes of energy to the head, light-headedness--) I just ride it and say " wahe guru, this is fun! " . It would be nice to hear of other people's experiences and what they did to deal with it. Sat nam, Kehar Kaur > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Sat Nam Thank you, Narayan, for a thoughtful post. " So there really is no Holding on to one expereince as there are many that come with the surrender to the energy one really has no choice but to surrender and most of all release the fear of the energy other wise it becomes unbearable. " My first kundalini awakening after doing Kundalini Yoga for only a few months was a clear, powerful revelation of my soul's eternal nature--pure, vast love. Feeling undeserving of such great, healing power, I covered my eyes with my hands and cried, and the experience immediately dissipated. The pain of this loss was truly unbearable. I held on to that sacred memory by devoting my life to realizing its full significance. Seeking a touch of the experience, I studied a series of increasingly subtle healing modalities, from reflexology to massage, from studying with a Kahuna to studying Sahaj with Guru Singh, from being given the miraculous Golden Temple meditation when praying for a friend, to making prayers to heal my daughter and now others by calling on the Gurus to send their blessings. It is only after switching from using powerful kriyas to work on myself to instead pray for others and the world that I have reawakened to my soul's pure identity--and yes, it truly is " a unique vibration and expression of the divinity " that is all my own.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Guru Prem Kaur...Yes...exactly...this is how I have ended up all these years latter also. My daily sadhna is Prayer for others. All those experiences were never enough. I still chant but some where along the line I went from whining to God to give ME enlightenment...to " expressing " God in Sound out into my environment(prayer). And it happened just as the Guru Granth Sahib said " imperceptibly. " This is what consolidates all the experiences and makes " unitive " experience a consistent plenum in ones life...Love. LOL you have just written what I was going to write a whole long story to say...Thank You Kirantana Sorry I can not post more on this right now...I am recording a CD for the next few weeks (singing is another way of prayer for others for me)...and it is taking all my attention...while this is all bringing up so many memories. But I feel an urgency to say this. I knew Yogji from the beginning. I never wanted to be a Sikh and told him so from the beginning. He said to do it any way if I really wanted to understand everything about Yoga, so I did for 12 years. And I was always pulling apart the yoga from the beginning, coming up with my own sets and throwing in a lot of Taoist yoga and other things to make it my own. I did not have a typical Guru/chela type relationship with him...we argued, and he loved a good argument. But as I look back at all this now...it was never all the Sikh stuff or the yoga that really touched me, though it was part of it, It was Yogji the man himself that taught me all that I needed. Service was the dance of his life, he gave and gave and gave some more. He raised the bar for all of us when it came to service. He took me in as a young man, treated me like a son and gave me a quality of attention that was pure love, in his gruff way. When I left him we went eyeball to eyeball for 5 hours. He pushed and probed and treated every part of my aura to make sure I was ready. And he would have turned around and done another 5 hours with any of his students if that was needed. You all out there who knew him know what I'm saying is true. That to me was the miracle, and what I remember most today, not the kundalini experiences, and after still many years of chasing the " Lights " ...that finally became the legacy that was passed to me...I try an uplift the young people in any way I can. If younger teachers who never met him can get this, that is core of all you need. Love your students...go the extra mile...that is the beginning and the end of the path............
