middle of my chest. There was no problem with breathing. So, I began to

take deep breaths, and it seemed as if this pressure was like a hand

laying there, and as I would exhale, it pushed any extra breath I had

out of me. At first I was a little fearful, but then I just surrendered

to it. It was as if, I was being taught how to breathe, if that makes

sense. This kept going on, and I realized that when it would push all

of the extra breath out of me, I felt very very calm, and I would wait

a few seconds with no breath at all, and it felt like my heart slowed

down to a very slow rate. I fell asleep with this going on, and I know

that I had many dreams, although I cannot remember them. I just feel

like I 'went somewhere' and 'learned something' while dreaming.

 

Hi Leslie,

I have experienced similar symptoms and what proceeded after

I found to be one of the hardest parts of the K. Process. That

is because for me this step was about surrender and it had to do

with the physical energy moving up into the skull. Before it can

do that it has to make changes in the chest and heart. It took me

around 2 weeks to get through this step, and it was learning to

get comfortable with being nowhere and not being able to breath.

It felt so much like death and so there was much fear which was

what was so hard for me. Each night I approached this step

again as the energy would build and the pressure would push

on the chest, causing me to gasp for breath. Indeed this was

part of it and I learned that one could gasp when needed. You will

not be able to breath when the energy pushes up through the

chest, yet it is not forever - you sit in total silence holding your

breath as quiet as possible (as the observer), and when you need

to inhale it will happen in a gasping way, there are also gurlgly

sounds in the throat, etc. I imagine it's much like the sounds of

someone who is actually dying. But as the observer you can

pass through it. As I understand it, this is a necessary step

to go beyond your personality, and learn how to surrender

so that you can continue with other challenges later on. Until

the surrender lesson is made, one will not continue with

k. awakening. I also

found out it all doesn't have to be done at once, each attempt

and the energy would go a little further up, so in fact I was doing

exactly what I needed to be doing, even I felt it as a failure because

fear would always overtake me and I felt I wasn't surrendering

as I should. But in reality, I was doing the best I could and progress

was happening, step by step. The

thing is one has to totally surrender to get through this step, and

I think it can be a stumbling block because fear takes over

of losing oneself. I think people who's kundalini has activated

and then mysteriously stopped might have reattached to the personality

because fear in some step has made it so that they don't want

to continue. Nothing wrong with it, yet I think informatoin about

it (this step) might help others go back to try again if they quit out of fear

of losing themselves. Looking back calling it a form of death is

not too far off the mark. Yet, surrender, relaxing and trust is

the way to get through. If this is where you are at as I was,

(not saying we are having the same things happening), then

trust your instincts and know that you will never die,

the observer is always there.
