Guest guest Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Pranayama for Awakening Kundalini When you practise the following, concentrate on the Muladhara Chakra at the base of the spinal column, which is triangular in form and which is the seat of the Kundalini Sakti. Close the right nostril with your fight thumb. Inhale through the left nostril till you count 3 OMs slowly. Imagine that you are drawing the Prana with the atmospheric air. Then close the left nostril with your little and ring fingers of the right hand. Then retain the breath for 12 OMs. Send the current down the spinal column straight into the triangular lotus, the Muladhara Chakra. Imagine that the nerve-current is striking against the lotus and awakening the Kundalini. Then slowly exhale through the right nostril counting 6 OMs. Repeat the process from the right nostril as stated above, using the same units, and having the same imagination and feeling. This Pranayama will awaken the Kundalini quickly. Do it 3 times in the morning and 3 times in the evening. Increase the number * Various Mantras and their benefits are described in my book “japa Yoga†and time gradually and cautiously according to your strength and capacity. In this Pranayama, concentration on the Muladhara Chakra is the important thing. Kundalini will be awakened quickly if the degree of concentration is intense and if the Pranayama is practised regularly. --- On Fri, 4/9/10, curball2002 <curball2002 wrote: curball2002 <curball2002 Re: After Effects of Shaktipat Friday, April 9, 2010, 4:52 PM Hey Patrica, Bradly here and I'll share some of my thoughts. Please be sure to ask Chrism again if he does not respond right away. Sounds like the Shaktipat went very well for you and what you are experiencing is normal. Keep applying the safeties and be deligent in your practice. Keep the tongue up. Keep hydrated, have some watermelon if available. Do the finger locks whenever you can safely. The surrender is good. Bare feet to the earth if it is not too cold might help release some of that pressure. Service may help. Let the energy flow. Let it move out of you. So gardening and physical things if possible might help. Outdoors if you can. A heavy meal can help ground you. I think the seeing of the lights is a good indication of your progression. Nothing to be attached to but nice to see along the way! be well, bradly > Hi Chrism > > Thanks again for the experience. I had all sorts of interesting experiences during the Shaktipat. Some were great and others uncomfortable. I now experience, among other things, pressure in the third eye area and a lot of pressure inside the top of my head pressing upward once in a while. The third eye pressure is no problem but once in a while the crown pressure becomes very uncomfortable. I have never had pressure like before the Shaktipat. I usually talk to the shakti and say I am surrendering to it when it feels to tense but I still would like to know if there is anything else I can do if the pressure becomes a little overbearing. > > I am not extremely upset as I understood that there would be after effects from the Shaktipat. I sometimes see blue bursts of lights that accompany the pressure so I am pretty sure that these are K active symptoms. > > I had one other question that is only of interest to me. I am reading a book on Lucid Dreaming and often when I read it I see all sorts of small pinpoint lights bursting on the page. They don't bother me and are just amusing. Is this an indication of something I should be paying any attention to or is it just a K symptom that dosen't mean anything in particular? > --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
