Guest guest Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I was sitting last night, just thinking about how I'd heard people saying that the reason people have problems as kundalini rises, is because either they are not ready or- as an alternative answer- because they have blocks in a chakra and the pain is just the kundalini getting rid of the blockages. I was wondering where my kundalini might have problems. Honestly, I'm going to guess that everyone has some blockage in all the chakras, since none of us are perfect in any area, and we all have some issues or scars in all areas, I believe. Yet, as I imagined having rising kundalini and tried to imagine what it might be like, day dreaming in my mind, I did not seriously try to guess where the block would be, but just seemingly picked a random place, as I imagined I said the first block it hit. It was not in my lowest chakra.....although it was fairly low down. Strangely, I imaged the block was not in the exact center of the chosen chakra, either. I imagined it was right above my navel. I am used to people saying the solar plexus is at the navel, but I saw it just a little bit above my bellybutton. I spoke to my friend tonight, about my desire to have my kundalini activated. I told her that I knew of the problems that could arise, and I had read that some people believed these to be a product of the kundalini breaking through blockages. I joked- although it wasn't really funny- about how " she " (personifying the kundalini as a female snake inside of me) would probably die when she got to my heart- or else my heart would explode and kill me. I said this because I think I have problems with emotion, and as you know, sometimes people joke about things that they find the very opposite of funny. It has been awhile since I read about the chakras and I did not recall that the solar plexus had connections to many emotions, as well. So, logically, I consciously thought of my heart chakra (which of course has some connection to emotions- such as love, compassion, etc.). That is when my friend said something that I found a tad odd. To parahphrase (not an exact quote) what she said, it was something like, " Mine would stop in about the middle of my back. " By this she meant it would hit a block there that it would have to deal with before going on. I found this odd, because the night before (this morning really, but before I went to bed), I had thought of my blockage as being right above my bellybutton. Since the chakra is inside of me, I knew I could just have easily said the same spot on my back. I told her of this, and how that would have our blocks in about the same place. She said hers was actually slightly more towards her upper back, as well, actually, just as mine was slightly above my navel. I found that interesting and started to wonder if my earlier day dream had been more tha pure fantasy, and had picked out an actual blockage. I was thinking I needed to refresh myself on chakras, anyway, since I want my kundalini to rise. As I got to looking at information once again, I especially paid attention to the solar plexus and have re- discovered that it concerns emotions, as well, and when it is blocked, it can mean supressing our emotions, having superficial emotions, only negative emotions, etc. and can also be a problem with anger or feeling victimized. Perhaps, somewhere in my subconscious I had remembered this.....and just as logic and my conscious opinions of my problems, led me to pick my heart, my subconsciously remembered info. about the solar plexus charkra, combined to my conscious assesment of my own issues, caused me to imagine a block there. Or, then again, maybe I actually intuited that I have a block there. I do not know. I don't know if my friend ever knew what that chakra was connected to, either, though, and she picked it, as well. Actually, she has similar problems to myself in this area. We both have issues with emotions- including anger issues, and I think we both have problems with feeling mainly negative emotions (feeling them more easily than positive ones, etc.) and block emotions sometimes, etc. There are also other issues that I feel we have that might be related to blocks in this area. I found it interesting, at least. Regardless of why I imagined the block there, after reviewing things that the chakras are related to, I do suspect that when my kundalini rises, I might experience issues when it reaches this chakra. Are there ways I can clear this block somewhat, before trying to activiate my K? I would like to minimize the block, so that, if my K is activated, it might get through this block more easily and the negative side effects might be minimized. Also, I would like to know if anyone has any idea why we'd imagine it slightly above our navels or, slightly above the middle of our backs, instead of right in the middle of the back or right over the navel. That is also part of the reason why I think maybe it was not just my previous knowledge of chakras (in the back of my head somewhere) causing me to have this thought of a block there. That could have very likely facrored in, but if that was all there was to it, then why wouldn't I have imagiend it directly over the bellybutton? That combined with the fact that I really do have problems associated with a block in this area, I do believe I have an actual block here. However, is it significant that it is a little higher up than the navel or not? Does this mean the kundalini will not hit the block till it is nearly through it? Or? Thanks for any advice. ~Phantom~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Hello Phantom, Have you had a chance to look at the Safeties? They are a remarkable tool in balancing and preparing for an activation. I'm sure they even help with blockages. So don't let your mind drive you crazy in trying to imagine what may be blocked. You can take things in hand and prepare for a wonderful activation and infusion. And if blocks do appear, the key word is surrender and let Shakti have her way in dissolving them. Hope that helps.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 A daily practice of the safeties will begin to loosen and eventually clear many of the blockages that would otherwise present themselves to the rising Kundalini. This is why we use them as a form of balancing and conditioning of the body before we begin the raising. The Tibetans will release just enough Kundalini for a person to see/feel where there is more work to be done. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Hi again, dhyana! That was helpful! I hadn't looked at the safeties when I posted the original post in this thread, but after recieving your response and the one from chrism, I have read them and the Tibetans. I went ahead and tried the compression prayer/alternate breathing using my own mantra. I believe it is a quote from the Bible. I'm eclectic in spirituality, and I like this quote. It is, " God is love. " I was saying in another response, that I have heard someone say before, " You have to feel it, to heal it, " and I think that is true of a lot of things, and happens to be the case with these blocks we have. We have to feel them, as kundalini unblocks them, in order to heal them. While I am not looking forward to negative side effects, I AM loooking forward to hopefully having them healed and moving past them. Thanks for your support and advice.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Hello again, chrism. I was just replying to dhyana to say that I had not read the safeties when I posted the beginning post in this thread, but have now done so. I have tried the compression prayer/alternate breathing now. How long should I practice the finger locks and eyes up, each day? Do I need to keep the tongue up all the time? I am trying. It feels odd because I am not used to it. I will try the Tibetans. I am pretty out of shape, but think I can do them for the most part. I might get dizzy with the spinning, but I'll attempt it and see what happens. I am going to have some trouble cleansing my body. I haven't eaten meat in years, which I think is good, but the are other parts of my diet that are not so good. For example, I drink a lot of pop and have a fair amount of junk food and sugar intake. I need to stop relying on so much on junk, sugar (except in sources such as fruit), and pop. You say the Tibetans will release just enough energy for a person to feel where the block is. How might this manifest? As energy bundled there? Thanks.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Hello, I'm sure our dear will offer some of his thoughts about your possible chakra blockages...I would like to recommend an excellent book on the chakras...it is the most exhausting treatise on every aspect of the chakras that I have seen: Eastern Body, Western Mind by Anodea Judith Soon there will be a Link available here to a document snynopsized from that book...a sampling of what she has written about each of the chakras. I will be sure to call your attention to that when it is posted, which should be sometime in the upcoming week!

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 You're welcome. The file has been uploaded...there will be an announcement soon, but you'll need to go to the group homepage and click on 'Files' and look for 'Chakra File for KAS1.' It's near the top...the files are in alpha order. It is just a tiny part of the book but it illustrates how much information is in that fabulous book!
