Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 Does anyone on the list have enough experience with both Reiki and Kundalini to know whether there is a difference in the energies, and, if so, what the difference is? -- --------------------------- Joel P.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 Kundalini can move in the body for many different reasons, from the benign to the traumatic... from meditation and yoga to epiphany, application of energy/bodywork or trauma. It generally rises from the root to the crown, and chelates its way through any blocks it encounters, which may be one reason that some people experience discomfort or distress with kundalini rising. The visual of this process is like the caduseus... the snakelike energy of Ida and Pengala rousing at the base and rising, intertwining around the Shushumna channel, crossing at the energy centers (chakras). In Eastern thought, it is preferable to be facilitated by a teacher during the experience to enhance understanding and reduce difficulty. Reiki is a particular vibration of energy that has a fairly high modulation. In general, although it is possible to encounter and align yourself with Reiki without attunement, people are generally " introduced " to and " aligned " with Reiki by a Reiki Master, who sets the student's aura to unfailingly recognize it. You are attuned from the crown down with Reiki. Although it doesn't always happen, treatment or attunement with Reiki can stimulate kundalini rising as well. There is a shift in the personal energies, but there is not always a kundalini effect. Hope this helps. Caroline " Joel P.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 Caroline... Thanks. I have both seen and experienced a Kundalini rush with Reiki attunment. I do know how the energies are described. Both, for example, are described as having " intelligence. " Is your sense that Kundalini is associated more with the earth (magnetic) energies and Reiki is associated more with radiatory energies? Are they actually separate energies, or are they different aspects of the intelligence of the Energy? -- --------------------------- Joel P.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2001 Report Share Posted May 21, 2001 I recently read in, Christine Northrups new book on Menapause, (she wrote Womens wisdom, Womens bodies) she talks about the " hot flash " in manapause, as being kundalini action. She said it was energy flowing up from the root chakra to the heart chakra for opening. Interesting speak for a traditionally trained gyn. I don't have the book infront of me for a direct quote. Sorry. love, connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2001 Report Share Posted May 22, 2001 Connie-- According to the Northrup book, would the 'energy surge' that many women experience after their periods and the increased energy and power some report after menopause be due to Kundalini action?

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2001 Report Share Posted May 23, 2001 Hi, I havn't read enough of it to know.
