> Wow!! I have been going through some of Chrism's articles and liked

them really!

 

Bruce - hi! Thanks. I too awakened it bcos of 2-3 factors including

spiritual activity and I never knew anything about it or sought it.But

dear Bruce PAIN and Headaches has becoming a frightening word for me as

I have lately been through few but very agonizing days! I still hope

that pain wouldnt be so much though and I would like to know how you

worked through yours But I miss that smooth flow of a spiritual life

and the necessary progress very much and feel it seriously lacking.I

wonder how one can go on like this as what would kundalini do without

it!? Yes perhaps I am lucky to have found this place especially since

its a rare one.

 

Elektra- hi and thanks Elektra for so much love- I can feel ur

warmth. You people are so loving.And as I said I am lucky to have come

here.Yeah you are right and I should have faith on God and that nothing

will happen to me. Actually my fear is coz of two reasons-first the

general info I got on K tht was its VERY DANGEROUS to awaken kundalini

when you arent pure.This fear was strengthened by my experience as when

my K awoke it was amazingly blissful and I was pure.Later because of

lack of spiritual discipline for some days it was just the opposite

when I had no purity!Then the second is my dreams that have always been

ending with a loss or harm. So thats it.

 

 

Sarita- hi .. thanks ,I read some of the links you provided and also

your story in one of them :)I began the safeties today and did the main

ones though not the alternatives and warm up. I hope thts ok. yes i

feel somewhat similar tht energy isnt able to flow well maybe.I have

not been doing breathing excercises at all since quiet some time now

but if I dont do my spiritual practices daily and properly it does give

me quiet some problems ;even though I have pain and lot of energy flow

when I do them. You are right its high time that I begin my karma yog

but I dont know when this laziness will leave me or vice versa :-D

 

meanwhile LOL a few of ppl around me are thinking tht I am becoming

crazy making faces all the time while actually its the energy flowing

and sometimes even bizzarely twisting my face LOL :-D

Hi..

 

I didnt really work through mine. One of the definitions I like of

suffering is 'suffering = pain + resistance'. The key really is to

drop the resistance, by learning to hold what is happening in

awareness and just let it be there. When the resistance finally drops,

(its an act of grace..it just kind of falls away with acceptance of

what is) then there is just the sensation. In time you will get

confidance in knowing that you are not the sensation that arises,

rather, you are the awareness in which the sensation arises. As time

goes on, you wont really mind the pain so much (if it stays).

 

A big change for me was the change from partiality (thinking I needed

frsomething from the world, or thinking I needed to do something) to

being - (being already full) . From the fullness, I can give to the

world ( I have no choice, really...th eenergy has to move out of me).

I moved from needing things to being a source of energy and creativity

and love. So, practice service and doing things that release energy,

like laughing and having fun...and if things get really difficult,

then try and bring an unflinching curiosity to whatever is happening

in your inner world, without any agenda other than to deeply

understand what is going on. When understanding arises, the problems

become solved. - if this advice is wrong, then please correct

it for me..thnx..

 

Doing excercise, like walking, weights and running also helped. Just

hang in there...it takes as long as it takes, and doing the safeties

supports the process

 

take care

Bruce
