Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Unless a person is inside the teachings of one who has had the experience or is studying it intently, it is not something that can be expected and even then it will choose its own course within the individual. This is an experiential event. That being the case, it will defy most scientific inquiry as exact duplications will be uncommon. Are you interested in having this experience John? - chrism , " nologo3 " <esposito@c...> wrote: > > Thanks again to the people who have been responding. It is > most helpful.

Are you interested in having this experience John? - chrism Well -- I can assure you I haven't joined this group out of mere curiosity (yes, I'm interested in having this experience.) I've never set out to have it as an end in itself, but have been aware of it as a possible occurence, and one I'd like to experience despite the warnings. I'm confident of having experiences that I'm ready to handle. A little background, as I'm probably different from most people here. I can't do much sitting, or even standing, meditation because of my arthritic back. As a result, I've had to look to other practices that involve movement. Currently, I do Tai Chi and Qigong (spelling??) to improve the flow of prana, which admittedly is not at all the same thing as Kundalini. I feel like I'm much better balanced physically than I was not long ago, and also have been working on self-analysis and emotional balance in various ways (my interests are very eclectic). All of this may (?) make one better-prepared for a Kundalini experience, yet may not have much to do with actually bringing one on. (I'd like to add that I'm very impressed with the quality of the discussion on this group, which I only came across more or less by accident. For such a small/ new group, it has already been most informative, open, and interesting!) John E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Hi John, If you can lie down comfortably, you can meditate in that position. It's just as good as the most advanced lotus--all that really matters is that your back is straight, and your mind is focused.
