Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Hello Valarie and everyone, Nice to read of your results Valarie. You are indeed a candidate if you wish to be. I know that I put this group in the " New Age " section of . I was going to go into the health area but didn't though it is as much that as it is a spiritual development. In the early stages it is more so at times a physical experience. Attaching the " New Age " descriptor to the Kundalini is perhaps not quite accurate but they didn't offer me an " Old Age " option! Kundalini is very, very, ancient. As old as humanity itself. I only say this to help you with the issues that may come up between you and your husband. Kundalini isn't typically soft and fuzzy. Yes it can be very joyous and blissful and wondrous and beautiful. It can also be painful, if the blocks are not cleared and the forgiveness' not done or any of a number of scenarios that can arise to make the journey more challenging. Kundalini can whip your body around like you are a rag doll. Really. These are called Kriyas and they come whether you like it or not and if a loved one sees this occur he may well just lock you up in the psyche ward and give the Md's the OK for severe anti convulsive medications. Kriyas can feel wonderful! But they can appear to an onlooker or a loved one as grossly painful and very frightening. So consider this. Not all folks experience the Kriyas though many do in various degrees. This is just one aspect. If you are not willing to go with what Kundalini - not me - but what Kundalini says to consume or not consume, practice or not practice you are in for a rough and possibly painful experience. " Hell hath no fury than that of a woman scorned! " Kundalini is the ultimate femininity. She will torture you into submission or a chemical prison or both if you go against her wishes. She is a very strong and definite power. Not someone you want to scorn! This is where the " Kali " aspect of Kundalini comes to the fore. She will love you when you do what you are told, and flower your path with joy and beauty. Or she will wrack your body with a painful savagery from the inside out that no medication can assuage. This is a tight path. It is one of the strongest paths available to a human being. If not " the " strongest. So just some things to consider. If life is good and love is flowing and there are few if any hardships that require you to sacrifice any part of the beautiful world you share with your husband. Perhaps this peace and love is worth enjoying. That is also a precious gift. I ask people to tell their spouses. I ask people to be honest with them as much as possible. This includes family, friends, etc. Not employers or doctors! Some here have similar scenarios with their spouse. They receive a low and slow dose from the Shaktipat until I am reasonably sure that they are at least beginning a communication about the Kundalini. I do this for the safety of that relationship. They sometimes wonder why the going is slow. Now if you follow the guidelines in the safeties and really, sincerely practice them you will most likely have a very smooth and wonderful experience. That's why they are there. But if your " ego " allows you to stray from that path or the path that " your " Kundalini prescribes for you to follow, in a consistent measure to be determined by the Kundalini, problems may ensue. This is just FYI. - Please consider this before you go further. Kundalini is as much a physical process as it is a spiritual one. , " Sarita " <sarita1969 wrote: > > Hi Valarie!

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I know that when the K first showed up in my life, I kept it from my husband for a week. It was a miserable week, as we share everything with each other. I finally decided when Shaktipat was starting that I should tell him in case something weird happened to me during the process. I felt such relief once I told him and he didn't call me a nut! He is very open to me going through this process and grateful that my back pain and migraines have ceased. I don't think I could do this without his support. I can't tell any other family members about this. When my mother heard my daughter was seeing spirits, that sent her into a tail spin, so telling her about K is out. My father is a religious nut. I myself am born again, but he takes religion to a level that I find ridiculous and he is very judgemental of others. If I told him, he would try an exorcism on me! (He thinks that homosexuals are possessed by demons that need to be exercised. Ridiculous notion imho) The poor man is living in his own world. In any case, I think support of a spouse is essential. After all, those who live in your house are likely to see something sometime eh? Sarita , " chrism " <> wrote: > > Hello Valarie and everyone, > Nice to read of your results Valarie.
