Guest guest Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hi Jake, I have heard several explanations for the wearing of Turbans and the points listed below are certainly not exhaustive:1. Wearing of a Turban is said to seal and consolidate the energy resonating in the Crown chakra preventing escape of prana.2. A tightly fitting Turban stimulates the nerves in the scalp area. I think Kundalini Yoga's founder, Yogi Bhajan, once said {jokingly(?)}: "Turbans are a constant craniosacral treatment saving thousands of dollars in psychotherapy...."3. Turbans form part of the Sikh male dress code and act as mark of commitment to their faith, see: http://www.sikhpride.com/index.php?categoryid=2 & p2_articleid=6 =================================Jake asked:I understand that Sikhs wear a turban to retain the extended position of kundalini.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hello Jake, Not to contradict any religious traditions or to be disrespectful in any way towards any belief system. In my experience there is nothing of a physical nature except the millions of compressed agreements and agendas of the human physical structure that can even begin to hold and enclose the fountain of the Kundalini as it expresses through the top of the seventh chakra. Kundalini is an expression of God and God is not contained. http://in.integralinstitute.org/i/theologue.jpg This picture does really do a fine job of showing visually the main dynamics of the awakened Kundalini and its containment within the auric expression. The double auras or the aura and the halo or corona there are many names, are the vessels that contain the awakened Kundalini in as much as it requires any energetic containment. Once Kundalini is awakened it will radiate. It isn't required to be contained as it shines itself over the landscape like a walking Sun upon the earth. But in the anchoring of Kundalini to the body, the spine and chakras and the living human " self " are anchors enough. No turban or hat or any head covering can contain the Kundalini and I will suggest that they are perhaps not referring to an " Awakened Kundalini " when they speak of this. Trying to contain the Kundalini with a portion of cloth would be similar to a butterfly wing containing the volcano. - Imho. - , " jakecarney36 " <jakecarney36 wrote: I understant that Sikhs wear a turban to retain the extended position of kundalini.
