Relaxation, Acceptance, and Kundelini

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

My experience is this:

 

When I am very relaxed and accepting of whatever comes along I have

these very pleasant blissful almost physical feelings more or less

located in the general area along the spinal column and up to the top

of the head. I don't do anything to try to generate these feelings

or to try to eliminate them. They used to come and go on an

irregular basis, now they are more or less there consistently. Am I

to do anything concerning these feeling or simply be with them?

 

Is this some form of Kundelini effect?

 

It took me many years of blaming external circumstances for my lack

of so called progress in my spiritual life. My poor wife, Virginia

went through Hell during this phase. Luckiily we both hung in there

until this dodo realized that external circumstances had nothing to

do with the spiritual path and that one has to look within rather

than without. Additionally found that goal oriented forcing of

meditation didn't do a hell of a lot.

 

I did an hour or so of sitting meditation, watching the breath for

about ten years. Then I did what I thought was dzogchen practice for

several years which I now realize was being done by the mind instead

of resting beyond the mind, For the last year or so I have been

singing out loud the "Song of the Vajra" and the "Flight of the

Vulture" as I walked my dog Boots through the fields and woods. I

simply gave up expecting results and became very relaxed. It seems

as if there was more progress made in that one year than in all

previous years. Currently I am practicing Sri Ramana Maharshi's "Who

am I" which is very powerful and can be applied most of the time in

daily life.

 

This is such a positive forum and all are so open and honest in their

writings.

 

I hope that the retreat in Rhode Island comes into being. It will be

great to meet and talk to everyone who can make it there.

 

I live near Staunton, Virginia and could use a ride from Virginia or

Maryland sharing expenses of course. Please contact me at my son's

email in Texas if you can help. -> Victor Torrico <torrico@tortek,com>
