Kundalini Shakti

[Guest guest]

Hillary, thanks for raising this point. I will forward the post to

a as well. Of the thousands of Nadis, six are considered most

important for Kundalini practitioners and advanced yogis. Sushumana is in

the back in the middle of the spine (see detailed descriptions in Swami

Sivananda's books) and when the Kundalini Shakti ascends to Sahasarara one

is in mental space. With the rising of Kundalini from Muladhara, the body

consciousness is lost but a person does not become unconscious and can have

various visions, samadhis, etc. Medha is the frontal counterpart to

Sushumana and usually comes into play in later stages when a person is

already advanced on the Shakti path. Shakti does indeed travel upwards

through the Medha Nadi as well and brings certain abilities and powerful

experiences. Ida and Pingala in the back also have frontal counterparts

called Lakshmi and Sarswati and Shakti can travel through these four as

well. This is a very complex topic as the Kundalini Shakti can travel

through many paths and the forces can ascend and descend in a variety of

ways. A discussion of Medha Nadi is usually not found except in some

cases -- See Swami Narayanananda (The Primal Power in Man). By the way, I

used to write quite a bit on Kundalini some years ago on the K-List along

with Kurt, Jan, Gene Keiffer (Gopi Krishna's student and publisher) and

others. We had a lot of fun. At least I did anyway. Are those archives easy

to access? There is a lot of good information there.

Dear Dan,

 

Sounds like an interesting book. Do you remember the title or author? My

K

doesn't behave itself "properly" either. I would describe it somewhat

like

this "middle of the body path," but I don't discern any particular

"emotional

problems."

 

Quite a while ago Harsha and Magne Aga described this path. [see below].

But

Harsha seems to be talking about an upward movement like yours and mine,

while Magne Aga describes a downward movement. Perhaps Harsha can give us

more information as to what Swami Narayanananda has to say?

 

Love, Hillary

Harsha:

I hardly see much mention in the literature of

the Shakti manifestations and moving upwards that is felt in the front.

One exception is Swami Narayanananda (Ramakrishna tradition) who speaks

very

precisely of the counterpart of Sushmana that is felt in the front.

 

Hillary:

Could you give me more info on this. (A book ref. maybe?) This is

precisely how I constantly feel these energies.

 

Magne Aga:

 

This is exactly what Kriya Yoga is all about. Kundalini moves upwards

through sushumna, and downwards meda on the front. Here's the real

difference between Kriya Yoga and the traditional Kundalini Yoga.

Kundalini

Yoga emphasizes only the positive part of the energy, not the negative

counterpart. In Kundalini Yoga, all the energy shall rise to the head, and

then Finito ! The Quest ends. It is almost the same logic as to say that

the World should consist only of Males, that we shall allways be awake

(never sleep), that we shall only have + electricity (no - counterpart).

 

The rise upwards sushumna to the head can cause severe imbalances, if no

counterpart energy flows downwards meda. Kundalini and the ligth body /

ressurected body is Yang and Yin. In "Vishuddhi shuddhi", the energy moves

upwards and downwards through meda nadi. In Kriya Yoga it moves upwards

sushumna, downwards meda.

 

Sahashrara and Muladhara are called the two poles. There exists a cosmic

energy in the head, and an Earth energy in the root. When Kundalini meets

the head, it expects to find a "reserved place" there. But if there ain't

any room there, because the head is preoccupied by the other pole energy,

Kundalini begins to search endlesly, restless after a place to be, and the

result may be a psychosis.
