Update and Some Questions from John R.

[Guest guest]

Hi Chrism, a brief update:

 

1. My Kundalini is moving along well - I feel like I'm sitting on

the roof of a house under construction. All under my skin -

carpenters hammering away here and there, electricians pushing and

pulling wires and flicking switches, and so on. Never know where and

when the next piece of scaffolding will appear !!

 

2. I'm not sure how BUSY meditation should be - various breathing

techniques with/without repetition of god's/goddess's name and

qualities, pushing energy through chakras, shakti poem - they've all

been good for me - but how much meditation time should just be a

blanking of the mind and letting what happens, happen?

 

3. Regarding your view of the inept behaviour of psychiatrists, I

was in complete agreement with you until recently. I'm not quite so

hard-line now, following treatments applied to my father-in-law by

the local hospital psychiatric team. He has been border-line bi-

polar, manic-depressive all his life and then following my son-in-

law's decision to take him off all medication because of something

he read on the internet, my father-in-law had a complete physical

and mental collapse. Well, against our wishes, this team applied

very minor ECT ( at the voltage of a light globe) under anaesthetic.

Early days, but he seems to have made a complete recovery.

 

4. Mandrea, Alphus and I are discussing Triad arrangements at

present, just 2 quick questions:

 

(A) For talk between Triad members, do you prefer Group postings,

offline or doesn't matter ?

 

and

 

(B) Can you run through again, the methods of passing on

energy/shaktipat and/or reading strengths of energy flows, chakra

colors and so on when members are at different stages of Kundalini

experience ?

 

 

This is a wonderful Group and I love you all !! - John R.

Hi John,

 

That's a million dollar question: how busy should meditation be?

Theoretically, not busy at all. However, on some level meditation is

also energy work, and to move energy we need visualizations etc. To

keep the clutter level low, it's good to have a mantra (like you seem

to have). Kryias and visions might come, too (making things VERY

busy). The key is not to form an attachment to stuff that happens

during meditation. Just acknowledge it, but keep returning to your

mantra. Also, something you may want to do is to let go of all

visualizations, mantras, etc. for a while after you are done working

the energy. Just let your mind settle into silence, as Patanjali wrote

in his Sutras. That's the deepest point in meditation, and that's when

you are more likely to get into a samadhi.

 

Cheers,

 

Sel

Be still and just know that you are one with all that you are. You may have to wiggle around and feel how this works for you but now is the time to go into stillness for as long as you feel you can @@ 3.

Early days, but he seems to have made a complete recovery. @@ Let us remember who put him on drugs in the first place and when released from medication was it against thier advice? Most likely, and did they pull him off all at once? Without allowing time for the body to adjust? Nice to hear of his recovery @@ 4.

Its kind of soon to be looking at those concepts John why not get used to eachothers energy just as it stands for a time. Many of these "methods" will come to you naturally as you increase the presence with in. What I do probably wont work for you. As these are not techniques as much as they are gifts. @@ This is a wonderful Group and I love you all !! - John R.
