Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Hello Pam, Here is a synopsis of what I have learned over the years about Kundalini. It is in everyone. It has many names and attributes that have been colored by the cultures that have experienced and described it. The Ancient Hindu, the Taoists, the Pagan, the Christians, the Sufi, the Egyptian, and on throughout human history. In our world today here are some of the cultures and the names by which Kundalini is recognized: Kundalini is also known as the greater Khan and Li, (Chinese), the Holy Fire (Christian Mystics), Shekinah of the Judaic system, Dumo Fire of the (Buddhists), Loong and an aspect of Kundalini called Tumo of the (Tibetans) and the Sufi Latah'if infused with Zhikr (Islamic). Margaluyu of (Indonesia). Kundalini is a very powerful and transformative energy, located at the base of the spine in the last three vertebrae of the tailbone. With interior activation points that extend to the perineum. It is widely considered to be an energetic expression of the Sacred Feminine with in all people. Many of the sacred sexual practices like Tantra and some of the sacred sexual practices of the ancient Christian and pagan (druidic) are designed to directly awaken the Kundalini as Dr. Bowen asserted. But sexual stimulation is not needed. I certainly wasn't involved in Tantra or any other such practice. It can be activated by a person who is inside a flow. Or by keen intent and meditation and prayer. Or by severe emotional duress or by a trauma visited upon the lower spine as in a car accident or a comminuted fracture of the lower spine. Certain types of drug use can awaken it. There are many paths. As Dr. Bowen mentioned it can be difficult without knowledge or guidance. Dangerous even. But with knowledge and a willingness to surrender to the parameters set by this force one can have a most powerfully beautiful and actual enlightenment experience. Really. I can still see that golden white light when I look up and in. Many changes in a person take place and it doesnt slow down or weaken over time. The positives outweigh the negatives in my opinion but the first aspects are the biggest challenge. It will amplify all your fears. Issues of negative self worth and old grudges, and guilt, and many other personal and painful issues will come to the fore as fresh and hurtful as when they were first incurred. A strong form of forgiveness for self and others is a requirement. Anyway enough. This is my take on it and experiences do vary though there are definite signs and symptoms. The link Dr.Bowen put up is a good one for the signs and symptoms - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Dear Ken, Sai Ram. Just a small loving correction. Grantha means a book, the knot that you referred is a Granthi. The Grantha was a collection of palm leaves etc. tied together by a thread, knotted. Granthi also means the person who ties up the knowledge in a book, presumably the author! There are three important Granthis on the path to enlightenment. The Brahma Granthi, Vishnu Granthi and Rudra Granthi. The Granthi is crossed or untied (broken in Sanskrit) by the grace of Shakti (Lalitha)and the awareness (Kundalini) can then go to Sahasrara. Reiki is one of the gentler means of awakening the Kundalini (that which lies coiled like a serpent). Sai Ram. Thanks for the posting. Swamy " However, the thing to watch for, and why you need a skilled teacher is that there are three knots, called granthas in Sanskrit. If you attempt Kundalini without proper instruction. ; you can get the energy stuck at one of the knots and it will not move upward but eventually fall downward and no Kundalini ever again. Sorry, but we do need proper instruction.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Now I'm getting confused! I'm grateful for all the knowledge being passed on to me, but although I am vastly interested in everything said, first it seemed that Kundalini awakening was something which " just happened " , then it's explained that you need a teacher. Whatever is happening to me,I didn't ask for, is happening spontaneously and am not (at this point) deliberately pursueing as Kundalini. Again, why it's happening I don't know, but I'm a firm believer in the saying " When the student is ready, the teacher appears " . So I'm here, with this group, learning things that for some reason, I need to learn. But I don't know what the next step is. Do I wait for developments, read books? These I'm already doing. So what next? Pam in Qld Australia. -- In , " S.V.Swamy " <truthseeker123x wrote: > > Dear Ken, > > Sai Ram. Just a small loving correction.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 No worries Pam. Listen to yourself and follow your own inner guidance. If you need a teacher one will come if they have not already. If the safeties I posted make sense do them. If not, dont. I have met folks who have awakened the Kundalini without a teacher and did just fine as have I. There are many in Australia. I can give you some names offlist if you wish. The ancient Hindu did all of us a great favor by keeping such detailed and useful records of their experience with the Kundalini (even that word is ancient Hindu or Sanskrit) so I am very appreciative of their efforts. I am not Hindu and do not understand much Sanskrit and I have been able to articulate the Kundalini experience and continue to do so. No teacher except the Divine circuit within.
