Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hi Chrism, I had an Acupuncture treatment (for nothing serious) on Friday afternoon and a few hours later my feet went numb. Both feet are still numb on the outside - blade part. It seems to be creeping up past my ankle on my right leg a little but not to a huge extent yet. It hasnot abated at all in two days and I cannot put it down to anything as mundane as bad circulation as I am an extremely fit and healthy 35 year old. I am just a little concerned as this is exactly how my spiritual emergency started this time last year, when I lost sensation in my entire body. I have read extensively, trying to find out more and only came across a small mention by Dr. Lee Sannella of this being a typical symptom of a Kundalini awakening. My 'third eye' is also throbbing a lot lately. While I am open to my spirit bringing me to a higher level of consciousness and existence, I have no wish to spend another term in hospital. Have you any thoughts or advice on this? Tom... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 First I do not suggest a hospital stay for this as it is a gift and yes it is strange and may be frightening but this is why you are here. The numbness may be replaced by tingles and pins and needles sensations as well. Do some good and steady cardio excercise, dont go overboard with it but do some running if you can and some climbing if you can, like up the bleachers at the school track - be careful and do not injure yourself. This isnt to take the numbness away as much as it is to open certain conduits for its expansion. No more acupuncture for a time. Do not fear this. Continue with the five Tibetans and do some yoga that stretches both sides of the body i.e. leg stretches and on the back getnle spinal twists (gentle!) and begin to change your mindset from a fear based scenario to a welcoming scenario. Keep the tongue tip to the roof your mouth behind the upper front teeth unless a force other than your will pulls it down. Keep your fingers locked and your eyes inward(slightly) and up. Welcome this experience it isnt permanent and it will pass but only as long as you do not go into resistance against it. Go barefoot on bare Earth or grass and observe how this affects the feeling. Do the alternate nostril breathing as described in the safeties and observe how this feels to your feet. Have a look at the big toe on the left foot. See if any discoloration is appearing and let me know when you have done each one of these suggestions. You may have convulsions but they are not painful and are short lived. Dont let that scare you and you may have kriyas which will compel you to assume certain yoga positions - go with them. Allow the visions and sounds to come, insect sounds or a humming or chirps or bells and flutes. Allow this it is OK. The visions of sparkles or Holy Persons becomeing clear to you this is normal and you are fine. Allow this. The sensations of electricity coursing through your body and spreading everywhere. You will actually hear the " Fizzing and Zipping " of the energy - no worries this is normal. Allow it. Hot or Cold sensations are also normal no worries. The third eye activity is a clear indication that this is an energetic infusion and that there is nothing wrong. Keep me apprissed of you results. My thoughts and presence are with you. - blessings - chrism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Hi Chrism. I appreciate the quick reply, thank you for that. I am typing this a second time as I managed to delete my slowly typed response from earlier before sending it! So I will try to remember everything that was clear in my mind the last time. I mentioned the hospital stay in reference to my experience last year when I lost my balance and motor function and that was the safest place for me, in that it allowed me get the rest, care and supervision I needed to recover (my wife was pregnant at the time – as always, ha, ha - and could not lift a twelve stone man!). It was a compromise (being in an environment where the doctors there had never seen a case like mine before!) and if I had a choice I would have gone for a natural environment with a guru type for company who had been through the same process himself. Unfortunately, if I were to lose my arms and legs again I would probably have to go back there for a week or two. I am aware that we live in a fear-based society but try not to to it myself. However, I think it would be naive of me not to be concerned about the risks, i.e. Kundalini can kill you, cure you or drive you mad, and the timing could also be a lot better from a daily life point of view. However, I may not have any choice in the matter and might reluctantly have to welcome the process, as you say. To go through your recommendations, I already cycle and run most days so that knocks that one on the head. I had endeavoured to start the tibetans but haven't yet got around to it. So I will start today. I started Budo Taijutsu two months ago and it has improved my flexibility immensely - something out of the blue which I now love doing. This is a clear case of following my intuition and it working for me. :-) Interestingly, it released a lower back injury which I have had for the last two years and this could well be connected with my latest experiences. The safeties you mention I already habitually do having learnt them from Qigong practice, except for the alternate nostril breathing which has always caused me to separate from my body. Instinctively, this feels unsafe for me as I do not feel strong enough to ensure that I will come back. However, I will have another go at it and play it by ear. I like your idea of walking barefoot on the ground and will do so at every opportunity. There is no discolouration on any of my toes. I had convulsions a lot as a child and a full seizure three years ago, so I know what to expect and you are right - they are not painful (unless you bite your tongue!) and short lived. Even as I type this I can see a pattern emerging and I suspect my evolution may have started earlier than I previously thought. However, again, there is a downside to convulsions and the like - no driving a car or operating machinery for a year, worrying family members, etc. I am not comparing the ability to drive a car with achieving spiritual enlightenment, but am highlighting the fact that I don't want my life (and everyone else's) turned upside down again. A smooth transition is the way to go, if possible. It is interesting to note that this numbness seems to occur whenever I am feeling fit and healthy, i.e not feeling completely depleted as per normal. This happened before about 3 months ago in the same circumstances and the numbness went up past my knees on both legs, with my third eye almost jumping off my forehead (also coinciding with a full moon). Then the sensations abated after a few weeks when I became worn out again, and nothing more happened. Subconsciously, perhaps I wore myself out on purpose to prevent the process. My life, such as it is, is well occupied with the demands, and highs and lows of three small children, so I find it difficult to find much time and space for myself. This is just timing, of course, and the cycle will come around full swing eventually. It is also partly why I could probably do without a full-on kundalini awakening at the moment. I now think I may have to change my perspective on things and this change I seem to be putting off forever is going to force me to drop a lot of materiality and rubbish in my life. So I will try and welcome it and smooth the flow as much as practicable. I think that if I allow this, my life will be unrecognisable in maybe five years time from what it is today. Will I be the first spiritual guru- Accountant - show you the way and do your tax returns as well? Anyway, the longer I put it off, subconsciously or otherwise, the harder it may be and, if you believe the predictions for 2012, everyone will have to go through this anyway. As far as the other experiences go, I do often feel energy gently moving up my spine and down to my abdomen and hear it as a ringing sound (it's hard to describe), but it is not yet the powerful surging and bubbling that I had last year. I haven't experienced any of the others but will keep your reassurances in mind. I will let you know more when I do the alternate nostril breathing and Tibetans. Many thanks, Tom… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Tom, you have my sympathy. I have a 2 year old and was recovering from a terrible accident when the K decided to make it's appearance. I fought it and threw a little tantrum " I just can't do THIS right now on top of everything else!! " . But, it comes when it comes. This is when it is supposed to come, even if our egos don't agree. Best to surrender to it and follow Chrism's wise guidance. If there was anywhere that could help smooth things out and make life liveable while going through this, it is right here.

However, I will have another go at it and play > it by ear. @@Qigong will initiate this experience if done consistantly. Please do your best to continue to forgive and practice the attitudes of graciousness and tolerance and love based service for others. If you are indeed emotionally balanced then you will have a smooth awakening. I say awakening because you have already had the activation. Now is the time to " allow " it to fully infuse you. So I suggest you " set " the pattern by intentioned love, forgiveness and tolerance and helpfulness, daily - no matter what has occurred for you in this regard by past practices. If you want to explain to the kids use the " For the Kids " posters as a guide. I will repost those for you. You do not need to go faster this is certain and if you feel the alternate nostril breathing is causing you to split, then decline that practice. Please do a consistant prayer for your personal guidance to become manifest in a tangible way for you. This would be your High Self or the deity that you have come to use for spiritual matters if any. Keep the tongue up and the eyes up and the fingers locked if you can. If not keep the tongue up as much as possible - it can get burned on the tip if it isnt. @@ I like your idea of walking barefoot on the ground and > will do so at every opportunity.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Hi Chrism, You certainly gave me plenty to think about. Just as an update to last week, the sensations faded away from my feet and 'third eye' after a few days and I am now back to normality (my version of normal, as opposed to most others'!!). It seems to be cyclical to some extent, is affected by environmental factors such as the weather and the phase of the moon and I know it will come around again. The timing didn't feel right to me anyway. Tom... , " chrism " <> wrote: > > Hello Tom, > Please see below separated by @@ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
