Old Practice New Practice

[Guest guest]

Through out my days and nights many topics of the Kundalini that

wish my fingers to write of them come to me. My head becomes

enveloped in a strong field of energy that can sometimes bring what

remaining hairs I have to stand out. Usually when certain

informations need to be given. Sometimes I cannot remember them

all. Sometimes as I strive to remain in society I am distracted from

writing of them. This subject has been on my mind as of late and my

thanks to Brandi for reminding me to go into it a bit.

 

Many of us have been nurtured by a religious practice since we were

a baby. Our parents took us to the temple or church kicking and

screaming and sometimes cooing and chortling as the devotions were

expressed and the particular divinity exalted. Some of us were given

certain rights of passage and other ceremonies that greatly secured

our presence in these belief systems. For most people these

religious practices go on until one falls into the arms of the

divine transition, death.

 

For others, a precious few individuals, an emanation of divinity

awakens with in themselves. This divine expression is called many

names but for simplicity I will call it Kundalini as these

expressions follow a certain pattern that corresponds to what

Kundalini is known to follow.

 

The Kundalini expression is often tied directly in to the religious

or spiritual practice of the individual having it. Not always but it

often is. As this occurs we dig deeper into our spiritual practice

in search of the comfort and security that it has always held for

us. We are sometimes driven to do this in the beginning as the

Kundalini can be such a strange and somewhat fearful experience due

to its strangeness. We beseech our Gods for understanding and often

for intervention.

 

Some of us are gifted by the divine with information that leads us

into areas that bring us these comprehending qualities. We begin to

understand and to know of the special process that has been gifted.

We begin to walk in these new areas. In that walking and interaction

we can sometimes forget to change our attitudes and practices to

match the new landscape.

 

This deals with not practicing the familiar rites and ceremonies of

the personal spiritual practice. With Kundalini comes the

topographical landscape of energy being released through thought.

Energy being released through action based in thought. Energy being

released through emotions and so forth. We need to understand that

sometimes we cannot go back to the familiar practices. We must

change or alter them to fit the new landscape.

 

Sometimes there can be absolutely no practice of any kind. Remember

that these practices are inside of the Kundalini releasing energies.

Too much love, as an example, can give a person unprepared for this

magnitude of energy a painful experience. I know it is hard to

believe but it is true. We have to be careful about how we overload

our systems based on practice patterns that can no longer be

tolerated by the body. At least for a time.

 

Philip St. Romain a person who had a Kundalini awakening due to

intensive spiritual practice would write of having the sensation of

knives being driven into his skull anytime he would pray. This

caused him to be very careful about it and he was forced to adjust

his practice in order to avoid this sensation. He wasn't being

punished. Merely his body had not yet come to the point of

conditioning for the magnitude of the energy that was being released

by the praying.

 

I bring this up as I often counsel people inside of an awakening

experience to stop praying and to stop all manner and form of

spiritual practice for a time. - Sometimes a long time. This is due

to these reasons of conditioning and helping a person to make the

connection to the opening of energy being tied to the expression of

devotion towards the divine reverence of the spiritual practice they

are engaging.

 

This can bring on severe headaches of a migraine quality. As well as

extremely painful joints and the inability to sleep and many others

too many to list. We must be willing to suspend our spiritual

practices in order for our physical being to become conditioned to

the Kundalini.

 

Kundalini is hard at work changing and rearranging our physical

structure. It is doing this for the very reasons of the body being

able to hold with out pain very strong energetic expressions.

Expressions that would twist another person into severe paroxysms of

pain.

 

So please consider this when it is suggested that one stops the

spiritual practice as one has known it to be. Remember that with

Kundalini awakening a new spiritual practice dynamic is being born.

One that encompasses the old one but adds many more facets to the

gem. So please understand to stop the practice until your body

catches up. Incorporate the new practice as it is revealed to you. -

This is perfectly what I needed. I'm going through a rough acceptance period,

for some reason, after being here 9 months, still dealing with the major

adjustments and letting go or rshaping my beliefs and experiences since

childhood. This is my main blockage, there are others, but I believe this is

the big one.

 

Thank you for this wonderfully enlightening post, it helps to understand

and reconcile things that are happening, with the Bible and my Church life.

 

I would like to hear more about your experiences chrism, if you're willing, it

helps me to understand where I'm (we all are) headed. I find it extremely,

extremely helpful to hear about what to expect, or what CAN be expected.

 

Thank you very much,

 

Love,

Bill
