Guest guest Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hello, Everyone...I have been instructed by chrism to introduce myself to your group, which I've just recently joined. My name is Mary, and my Kundalini has been active for 19 years. I recently discovered your group when I was searching the internet looking for an answer to a Kundalini-related physical problem. Fortunately for me, I discovered chrism; and he was able to provide counsel which now has me " on the mend! " On a purely mundane note, I work out in the world where Kundalini is never a subject spoken about in daily life. I am employed as the Director of Education for a large learning center in New Jersey. As I have no children of my own, this has provided me the good fortune of loving and caring for so many children in my life. Although I've never been one to join groups, chrism suggested that I do so. With an active Kundalini, one is alone in life to the extent that there is no one to share with. It would just for once be wonderful to have the opportunity to correspond with like-minded individuals who love God and have as their ultimate purpose of existence the desire to serve others.The " bells and whistles " that accompany Kundalini have never excited me; but the idea of meeting others whose consciousness is more closely aligned with my own has always been of interest to me. And so, I'm putting myself " out there, " in the hopes that I may meet others who share my values and interests in life. Thank you, chrism, so much for the opportunity to join your group.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Welcome to the group Mary! I'm sure you will find it a happy place to be. I would be very interested in hearing about your K awakening. How did it happen? Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Mary, we're so happy to have you with us!! You are definitely among like-minded people here. I look forward to getting to know you and hearing more about your awakening. I'm so glad you found us!

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hi, Peter...Thank you so much for your warm welcome. It feels somewhat strange to relate an experience I've kept inside for so many years, but here goes.... In May of 1989, after having meditated religiously for 6 years, my Kundalini awoke very naturally, and I found myself in an extreme state of ecstasy, which lasted almost 1-1/2 months. Just prior to this, I was told by an old man who was a known clairvoyant (he has since passed on) that I was nearing what he referred to as a " breakthrough, " and that creativity was going to begin pouring out of me. He never mentioned the " K " word. Shortly thereafter I began spontaneously chanting kirtans containing Sanskrit words I did not know, and my body went into many contortions each time I attempted to meditate (these contortions I later discovered were advanced yogic postures--I even stood on my head for long periods of time!). In addition, my body would often bounce up and down on my bed and I made very loud, strange noises...I roared like a lion, chirped like a bird, etc. I know, I sound nuts...lucky thing I never chose to share my experience. I recollect transitioning into a realm of consciousness that, although exhilarating, was very frightening. It was scary insofar as everyone I knew noticed that I was different, and I could not hide my joy and esctasy. It was embarrassing to me, and I remember wishing I could just return to my old life. I recall contacting my clairvoyant friend at one point when I felt as though I was on overload. Although I was extremely blissful, I developed the ability to see into people's hearts (young and old), and I could feel their pain. I began to empathize to the point that it was overwhelming to my nervous system. At any rate, my clairvoyant friend (he used to be the right-hand man to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi) told me he felt that I would begin to assimilate the experience and all would be well. He further told me that the state I was in would someday be my permanent consciousness...a great hope that I still believe in to this day. Okay, now 19 years later (although the exhilarating experience did return for two shorter intervals during a five-year period) I find myself essentially unchanged...although maybe not. I've been through tremendous mental, emotional, and physical suffering over these many years since my initial awakening, and this I guess has probably made me a gentler, more humble individual with a much enhanced capacity to give and share love. I live alone, and my life is quite regimented and somewhat solitary. I very rarely meditate because after the awakening, the meditation seemed to be directly related to increased stress release, and I was not comfortable in my own skin. This is not the case anymore, although I still suffer terribly from insomnia and have for almost 15 years. Hence, I do not meditate on a regular basis any longer; but every once in a while (particularly in springtime), I am prodded by Kundalini to do so and so I follow Her explicit instructions. She has, in a very real sense, become my closest companion. Just recently I developed a severe rectal infection, which chrism told me was definitely from the Kundalini heat, which I suspected all along, although friends and family were worried about me and felt I should get to a M.D. ASAP (I'm anti-medical establishment and VERY stubborn when it comes to certain things). My acupuncturist friend is at a loss in treating my insomnia. I take several herbal supplements to keep the heat down, but she says that it is quite rampant throughout my body and believes it is the cause of both my " heat " rash and the insomnia. This is a very brief synopsis of my awakening, I know...but it really isn't something that can be rightly put into words. I would love to hear of your initial and ongoing experiences with the great Goddess Kundalini Shakti. I am so thrilled to know that there are others out there in this world that know about Her incredible POWER! Please write back and tell me all about yourself. I'm excited! Hope to hear from you soon!! Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hi again Mary, Thank you so much for sharing your story. I think you will find that your experiences are right in line with many in this group. I became Chenrezik, the Tibetan Buddhist embodiment of compassion for a couple of months, long before this group. Just going into a grocery store I would almost weep at the sorrow I saw all around me. I loved everyone I saw and I wished them all the love in the world. I can feel also that even deeper experiences are coming my way. I suggest that you read the older posts here to get a sense of the group and the people. I'm pretty new and will be taking my first Shaktipat this summer solstice. I can tell you too that is a wonderful man, very patient and he has our best wishes at heart. He is very concerned that each of us get activated in a gentle and safe way. I'm glad you found your way here and I look forward to getting to know you.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hi Mary and welcome, I found your awakening story fascinating. Thank you for sharing it. I think you've definitely found the right place to talk! My awakening story is in the KAS website. Of course it's difficult to fit the richness of experience into a written format, we can but try. I love that theres a place where this stuff is normal! Take care Ana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Thank you, Sarita, for the information. I wil be interested in reading all of these accounts just as soon as I am able. Please don't perceive me a pretentious " snob, " for this I am not. But at this point in time, I prefer not to have my story posted. Thank you so much. Have a great day.
