Going to fast

September 15, 2006

I try to be consistent in my efforts to keep some of you from moving

so fast into an activation. The body needs time to develop the

ability to hold these very strong energies in an activated and

awakened state. It can be very hard on the physical body and the pain

can last many years. Imagine burning out your entire endocrine system

for starters. The safeties need to be practiced (typically) for at

least three months before a spinal sweep begins. And even that is

rushing it but I'm giving bare minimums now.

You are here and so that in and of itself is telling. So please go

slow and be gracious to your body, your vehicle for expression. Allow

it time to make the proper upgrades so that you can run this energy

the Hindu ancients call Kundalini.

I am posting a writing by a woman known as El Collie. (google her)

Some of you may have read her accounts. She activated without

guidance and with out trying to (ostensibly). Her writings have been

on the web now for a long time and I accessed them during my

tribulations. So read this and know that she died in pain from her

Kundalini activation. But before she left she graced us with a

written record of her experiences. Here is one of them:

Kundalini Awakening

Throughout my life, I have followed an eclectic spiritual path,

exploring many traditions and practices. Never did I deliberately

attempt to rouse my Kundalini, nor was I doing anything known to

trigger the release of Kundalini when my mysterious symptoms began.

In the beginning, I had no idea what was happening to me. Because my

initial Kundalini experiences were severe physical symptoms, I was in

and out of the hospital for five months, being tested for nearly

every disease under the sun. No pathology could be detected; my

doctors were at a loss to explain my strange illness.

Then, through a series of synchronicities, including the increasingly

bizarre changes in my symptoms (I was by now experiencing the more

classic Kundalini manifestations such as extremely heightened

consciousness, seeing brilliant lights, feeling tremendous internal

electricity, incandescent heat, etc.), I discovered the true cause of

my peculiar ailment. Realizing that I was experiencing the emergence

of Kundalini was incredible to me. From the literature I had

previously read, I had been under the impression that Kundalini

awakening -- especially spontaneous awakening -- was the most rare of

human experiences. Apparently, up until recent times, this was true.

Within a year, to my further amazement, I learned that three friends

I had not heard from in ages were also involved in lengthy,

spontaneous Kundalini processes. I have never been much of an

optimist. Judging by the current condition of the world, had my own

Kundalini not risen, I would have doubted the New Age proclamations

that we are in the midst of a collective developmental leap in human

consciousness. But from what has transpired in my own life, on top of

the testimony from countless others going through similar

experiences, I have a growing spark of hope that as a species, we are

truly evolving.

In my mostly isolated first year of trying to cope with rapid

personal transformation, it dawned on me that those of us who are in

the midst of spiritual awakening need communication and

interconnection with others who know about this. Thus the vision for

ST was born. Since we began ST newsletter in 1993 -- on a shoestring

budget and with marginal publicity -- we have been contacted by over

1000 people in the throes of spontaneous Kundalini arousal. Many of

them are finding it is an enormous challenge. For people in whom

Kundalini rises involuntarily, the months/years of the process are

often both a magnificent odyssey and a painful ordeal.

The risen Kundalini can produce a staggering array of physical,

mental, emotional, psychic and spiritual changes which can fast

become overwhelming. These difficulties are compounded when we live

in a culture which has been, until very recently, ill-equipped to

understand and support breakthroughs in consciousness. Whether

sublime, excruciating, or anywhere inbetween, our Kundalini

experiences are easier to bear when we do not feel alone with them,

and when we realize something profound is transpiring within us. We

need each other's help to make our way through the sometimes painful

labyrinths of this alchemical healing process. Together we can

explore the wonder of transcendence and open ourselves to greater

awareness, unity, compassion and wholeness.

El Collie graced the beginners with some cautions that K activation should be

done with safeties.
