Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Well, for my part (being pre-K if you will), I'm looking for a real, inward path, instead of paying $29.95 per month for the rest of my life to some self appointed " guru " that probably doesn't really know any more than myself. The search that I've done has brought me here, and I'm beginning to mentally position myself for change. I don't know for sure that Kundalini is my path, but I have more of a feeling that a path is indeed there (vs in the past), so I'm hopeful that a way for me will be shown. > " chrism " <> > > > Why Activate Kundalini? >Wed, 07 Feb 2007 07:46:22 -0000 > >With all the many and different New Age and Old Age, hard and soft >core belief systems and experiences what brings you to the Kundalini? >Im just curious. - > _______________ Valentine’s Day -- Shop for gifts that spell L-O-V-E at MSN Shopping http://shopping.msn.com/content/shp/?ctId=8323,ptnrid=37,ptnrdata=24095 & tcode=wl\ mtagline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Chrism, You ask why or what brings me to the Kundalini. Well, I am not sure what brings me to it. I was lead to it when my dad was sick, I was searching for answers and Kundalini was the furthest thing from what I expected to be lead to. When I first stumbled on Kundalini, I just keep ignoring it, I wouldn't even read about it. I keep telling myself that I didn't want to know about that, that wasn't what I was looking for and I continued to search. Well I not only continued to search, but I also continued to be lead back to Kundalini so I read just a little and to be honest it SCARED me so I once again turned away from it trying to ignore it. Then one day I stumbled on the Group.... I read your introduction and something inside of me encouraged me to join the group! Of course you can see that I did! After joining and reading your Seminar site I was still afraid of it, but then I began reading the posts and even though I wanted more before joining the group, I began having this hunger for more knowledge. Knowledge of Kundalini, knowledge of God, of where I came from, where I am going spiritually, etc. At this time Kundalini is where I need to be whether I fully activate or not! I want to know and learn as much as I can about me, about my spiritual body, my energies, my abilities, I want to learn all that there is to learn and grow as much spiritually as I can in all aspects of my life, which includes my physical and spiritual body. I am drawn to a more advanced spiritual growth than what I might get from going to church. For now this is my path and I will follow it indefinitely.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Big question Chrism! Like the others I am drawn to seek the truth. I wish to serve others, become a more loving and better person. I think that's my highest purpose for being here- spiritual evolution. And in so doing, helping everyone else who wishes to be helped as well. Everything in everyway is converging now. I truly believe we are vibration, we are beings of light and love. Why not try to evolve as much as possible now towards what we know we really are? Why not embrace this truth? The 3-D 'reality' makes a difficult playground for doing this at times. But somehow I think overcoming the limitations of this allows our growth to be even more meaningful... All the best, Bradly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 I want to know where it would take me, what everything would be like when I activate it, and what it will do. It sounds exciting to me, but I should wait till I better learn how to control my thoughts and practice that with OBE's. <> Wednesday, February 7, 2007 2:46:22 AM Why Activate Kundalini?

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 dear chrism.. this is a great question and i'm sure the answers will be quite varied due to the fact that some on the list didn't seem to have much of a choice- they were spontaneous. as for me, the concept of kundalini seems to integrate the duality of body and soul (spirit and matter) without the interference of the intellect. true alchemy. there comes a point in the life of the soul where one may choose a daily spiritual practice based on all the experiences of ones life. i've been aware of the many wonderful spiritual practices from different traditions and have searched for a core experience that encompasses and integrates them all. and at this point in the history of the universe (and my soul), i'd rather take the elevator rather than the stairs. this presupposes that i've done the 'work' and the proper research and i hope that i have. karma may be an aspect as well. though there are no guarantees, i believe that commitment and focus to one approach is an essential part of the process. finally, i met you at the k seminar and was impressed by your knowledge, friendly spirit and lack of pretension. you are the real thing and so here i am! love to all, -steve f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Why activate it? My take is that curiosity and the desire to experiment are not enough to justify the choice. Awakening the K is not like picking up a hobby that you can quit after a while. IMHO, one should get on the path only if there is an absolute, single-minded drive to do so--which is probably kundalini's own calling rather than the individual's conscious decision. In my case, I still remember reading my first book about yoga and kundalini when I was in my late teens. I immediately felt like I had met a long-lost friend again, and thought " that's it! I need to do this " . Not that it really worked at the first try, though... Sel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the midst of a peer-helping intensive weekend, and we were encouraged to share something of emotional significance. The intensity of the group was quite overwhelming (yes, even for teenagers in the Midwest); in the midst of this, about to articulate my own contribution, I experienced a profound energy, involuntary shaking, and subsequently a catharsis and upliftment into a blissful state wherein suddenly and inexplicably, everything changed; a psychological bound was broken and I felt an incredible sense of unity and connection, to these people and " all of us " as a whole. All the ordinary and arbitrary bounds of class, personality, and suchlike were dissolved, and evidently I was babbling platitudes for several minutes. Many in the group felt these effects and a portion of that same sense of unity. Within a few hours however, the 'trance' was broken, and reality had re-asserted itself, the barriers were again in place. With me, though, while the intensity of the experience did eventually diminish, I could never look at people in the same manner again. Class and other distinctions became arbitrary contrivances which I found almost laughable if not for pity that I felt for those to whom they were unalterable reality. I would consider that the beginning of my acquaintance with the transpersonal energy and my first experience of a trans-egoistic state of awareness. Obviously I didn't have these words at fourteen, nor any corresponding theoretical background. I just found that something profound had changed about me; I didn't notice it myself, really, it was other people that noticed. Hopefully this bit of indulgence is helpful to someone, it was interesting for me to revisit, and is my honest answer. -brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 One of the best questions I've seen on here Thank you Chris for asking this... 2000 I met a girl who was awakened.She didnt have a clue what had happened to her. At that time I was reading books on yoga. Through my curiosity and her shared experiences we both discovered the word " Kundalini " . She felt at peace that this " wonder " , as she used to call it, actually exist ... I was amazed Since then I never stopped discovering.It felt like answering the phone and you recognise a voise from the other end. I've given up comparing experiences. I've given up thinking that this path ever ends. The key word sounding in my mind was " help " ,now slightly is transforming to " service " . I've been called again this time around and I know it has happened before too. We are all unique walking owr own path of discovery. I love every moment of it I am sure you do too.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 For me... it wasn't really a question of why should I do this. I didn't make the choice (at least I wasn't aware of the choice) to activate. Before I started having symptoms I had never heard of Kundalini. My choice now though is to encourage the activation and surrender to where It might lead me. I would not change or opt out of the transformation that is happening to me. I LOVE that I am where I am today. Much love to everyone, margo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Why...because in the Life of surrender to the Divine that I've been embracing, it has led me here, pointing out to me times of encounter with the K energy in the past, and that the next step for me is to surrender and embrace what Shakti brings to me in the Present...the next phase in the unfolding of the Journey.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Good question. I've always lived a lifestyle conducive to happiness. Powerful spiritual experiences have come my way primarily through study, prayer, listening to spoken word, and service. I even had the energy rushes up the spine but they'd always stop somewhere and peter out. Almost a decade ago, I hit a spiritual plateau and made a decision to tighten the reigns and ride into a more precise pathway to higher realms. I hadn't heard of kundalini but soon after that intention things started to unfold for me. When I read about kundalini in a martial arts book by Glenn Morris, I was very intrigued. Gopi's book scared me a bit but I didn't believe I would have his experiences if I were to awaken. I finally met Dr. Morris and worked with him for a couple years. He taught me chi kung meditation and along with Susan Carlson, I got shaktipat. It wasn't long after that that everything blew wide open. My experienes continue to amaze me, thrill me, and humble me. Just this morning I was in tears of joy because of what I was experiencing. This is certainly my path. But in hindsight, dunno if I found her or she found me or if she had me all along and prepared me for the past 40 years. One thing for sure, it's a one-way trip to infinity and I don't have reigns anymore to ride a precise path except to keep me from making stupid mistakes. It's all improv with no boundaries or lines.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Hello Dhyana, I hope everyone reads your words. The more you surrender to this process the deeper and more profound the experience becomes. The surrendering of fears and weakness and ill health and anger is also implied. Opening to the divine breath as it sweeps up the spine and transforms everything as it goes and continues to do so for the rest of life and farther. - blessings Dhyana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Other than our own personal stories.... Waking up is nothing more than our biological birthright. It is who we are meant to be. It is stress and other stuff in our lives that mess things up and block the flow. I believe it is difficult for some people because K cleans you out quickly sometimes. That is like a percieved disaster to your protective ego. Chrisms safeties are wise because it prepares you for the impending change. I sense some people are wide awake but no nothing of kundalini. It's just how they live their lives. To them it is normal. Just my thoughts... Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 I was thinking about why I activate Kundalini, and I realised that I feel a responsibilty, a responsibilty to myself as a being of light, a responsibilty to mankind to help add light to the world (as I'm not one who likes to let the side down...smile*), and I feel a responsibilty to God. Since God has allowed me to be privy to this information it's my job to put it into action. Like being a girl scout with a mission to complete. It's this sense of responsibilty I feel that stops me giving in to my natural lazy tendancies, I can't let everyone down. When I was young I felt no responsibilty or connection to the oneness and so I became lazy. When I came to realise that we are all connected I felt I had everyone else counting on me. It helped me to gain discipline. I never really saw this before now, it's a good understanding of myself. I want to help everyone and the Kundalini is a sacred birthright and blessing, it's so wonderful that when I think about it it makes me very emotional. Thankyou for helping me complete my mission and thankyou for adding your light to humanity, it's the greatest act any human can do to help their brothers and sisters, I believe that with all my heart.
