Everybody,
 
I'm having an energy problem that I'm hoping somebody can help me with. 
It's like this:  I am a major circuit of energy and it has an effect on 
everybody that comes into contact with me.  I have done a good job of 
keeping my energy balanced and contained within 3-4 feet around my body so 
as to benefit myself and others I know.  Being around me for limited 
amounts of time tends to be uplifting for people and in the process of 
giving them energy, I also gain energy.  The problem that I am having is 
that I am living with my girlfriend and I think the amounts of energy she 
is getting from me are too much for her.  She has been rather irrational 
and excessively emotional, prone to being set off by *very* 
little things that wouldn't have made her miss a beat a few weeks ago. 
For a while I was just accepting it and moving on because of her natural 
hormonal cycle being full swing.  However, she is long past that and yet 
still very out of balance.  I have her do balancing meditations with me, 
but she doesn't take the initiative to do these things without my urging 
and it really has to be a daily thing to be fully effective. When she gets 
down, she *really* gets down.
 
I don't want to do this to her!! 
I have seen this happen in other relationships of mine and don't want 
history to repeat itself.  At least I have figured out the cause of 
these episodes, now I need a cure.  Could it be that I am a Karmic 
catalyst and she is just working out old emotional issues?  Is there a way 
that I can help to balance her without making it seem like she has a 
problem? (and I don't mean just being understanding, I do that already) 
Can I help to balance her without her knowing that I am doing it?
 
Any and all suggestions will be very, very appreciated.
 
In Love and Light, 
Cameron

personally? does anybody really want my opinion? here it is anyway...this is 
just some more Millenia Apocolytpic HOGWASH. most things of this ilk have 
some convincing bases in fact then become scary so most individuals willl 
want to run to the safety of the brethren & sistren under the guru who has a 
connection with the BIG GUYS that say they can stop the impending disasters 
or otherwise insure their survival...
 
looking outside ourselves for what's right or wrong, what's going to happen 
or not takes our minds off ourselves. it lends perspective, which there is 
nothing at all really wrong with that ... i practice that with meditation, 
etc.  but individuals could be better spending that energy on other things 
and realizing they are complete and whole and all they need in and of 
themselves... and living in the HERE & NOW fully and completely.
 
oh well, that's my opinion about this impending disaster. add that one to the 
list of frightful millenia predictions. it is the scary thought of the 
century turning into the unknown...we're all going to wake up and see that 
IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY.

Hi Nan, Tantric sex is all about truth, integrating and balancing  the 
dualistic energies within and without and expansive experience beyond 
the normal confined realms of the contracted ego....this experience 
sounds more like the total opposite of everything Tantra holds most 
sacred. Sex does happen in Tantra in some contexts, but these should be 
incredibly sincere and pure in a primordial sense, not really about some 
dirty old man badgering you to lie down for him until you were so 
vulnerable you agreed....if you ever meet the gods and goddesses within 
in meditation you will be amazed at their sublime beauty and purity and 
power...and they are with you forever, they are not interested in a one 
night stand or a quick conquest, they want to join you in nirvana....sex 
in this way is part of the seamless web of life and, as some posts on 
this list have already pointed out, casual sex can have heavy karmic 
consequences which the West is unaware of. Hope this helps clarify what 
went wrong with master...regards yogi Tom 
 
PS i was once very similar to this guy, so i'm not into judgement or 
moralistic stands here, just pointing out reality of tantric sex....

ummmhhh welllllll this is a big topic - have you seen my article on 
kundalini and celibacy on bill peay's kundalini resource centre pages ? 
There are many approaches to Tantric sex, I tried the Hindu one - mainly 
using Swami Sivananda Radha's Kundalini Yoga for the West as a starting 
point -  to begin with, but found the Tibetan one suited me better and 
used a bit of taoist alchemy - Richard Wilhelm's translation of The 
Secret of the Golden Flower -  too on the way. Sex is just the fuel for 
meditation...it's the gods and goddesses who do all the work...you just 
lie back and enjoy and then, after a while can forget sex altogether, 
even the inner kind. The biggest problem i found was keeping the ego out 
of the picture and spoiling all the fun. Also there's the initial crisis 
of deprogramming lower chakras to stop them  expecting conventional 
outer sex when you start off.... 
 
>2. Why none of the tantric texts, that I know of, ever explicitly mentiones any 
>sexual yogic practices per se? 
 
hmmm, well  some of the texts and songs i've seen can be pretty explicit 
but also highly esoteric, like exhorting you to make love to your mother 
and virtually anything else that is female - just a way of indicating 
the need to integrate with the universal feminine principle....in a 
sense it is a very western way of looking at sex to isolate it from the 
rest of the yogic process...this is just another form of dualistic 
experience that needs to be embraced, integrated, purified, synthesised 
and sublimated and then let go of altogether...
 
>3. Is energy being lost even in case of internal orgasm (no ejaculation while 
>pressing on perineum), or in case of full-body orgasm (no ejaculation while 
>mentally drawing orgasmic energy to the crown chakra, opening it and

boy, and i thought i had a technical mind ! who knows ? just enjoy 
it....if the goddess wants to play who am i to argue ? and when she's 
had enough move on up....the only limit on energy is the speed of light 
according to Einstein, so if he's right, then, well, inner/outer 
orgasms....ultiamtely not that crucial, although i personally found i 
needed the simplicity and energy of sexual sublimation to clear brain of 
samsaric fog and clear karma too.

how can i be brief ? well very simply actually - i do not have an 
opinion on this, opinions were the source of a lot of my problems with 
kundalini and sex, i just have an experience that i cannot ignore 
because it has been exceptionally dramatic and powerful although I have 
yet to blow up electrical appliances like some yogis on this list ! and 
the opinion based on this experience is simply - lose your opinions and 
you won't need to worry too much about the sex, it will take care of 
itself if you are alert to your real needs rather than trying to impose 
a pattern from without - read the article at krc and email me privately 
if you have any questions as i think the rest of the list has moved on 
from the question of celibacy.....but, dear readers, please correct me 
if i'm wrong here.

Unusual energy sensations are frequently or continuously 
experienced. These are often felt as tingling, vibrating, buzzing, prickling, stinging, 
itching, burning or crawling sensations
 
I read this in a Danger section of the resource center 
I have since this monday experienced all of that 
I am not sure what to do 
I meditated 4 hours last night trying to push energy from 1 place to another 
Anyone out there have the same experience?Please help me understand whats what with this. 
What should i do next?

It helped me to keep things in perspective when noting that only 1/3 of the 
earth's population will be using the number 2000.  Another 1/3 use different 
numbering systems based on a different starting years - Chinese, Moslem, 
Jewish, etc. Then there is yet another 1/3, called primitive 3rd world 
types, who don't even number the years!  
 
So, what's a planet to do?   ;-}

Subject: excerpt from Phaedrus 
Message-ID: <33443208.7ED1ATnospamatwc.teradyne.com> 
 
sorry for the long post, was just reading Plato's Phaedrus last night,  
 I thought I saw glimmers of K in Plato's 
descriptions of the body's transformation as the soul regrows the 
wings it shed on entering the body, (very reminiscent of Christian 
Gnosticism):
 
(interesting that Plato emphasized he never wrote of the inmost 
truth that can only be learned through long and close association  
with a teacher. For him it was Socrates, and for Socrates it was 
a woman, (Diotima?) about whom no record survives.)
 
>>>quoting from online Phaedrus: gopher://gopher.vt.edu:10010/02/131/15
 
For, as has been already 
said, every soul of man has in the way of nature beheld true being; 
this was the condition of her passing into the form of man. But all 
souls do not easily recall the things of the other world; they may 
have seen them for a short time only, or they may have been 
unfortunate in their earthly lot, and, having had their hearts 
turned to unrighteousness through some corrupting influence, they 
may have lost the memory of the holy things which once they saw. Few 
only retain an adequate remembrance of them; and they, when they 
behold here any image of that other world, are rapt in amazement; 
but they are ignorant of what this rapture means, because they do 
not clearly perceive. For there is no light of justice or temperance 
or any of the higher ideas which are precious to souls in the 
earthly copies of them: they are seen through a glass dimly; and there 
are few who, going to the images, behold in them the realities, and 
these only with difficulty. There was a time when with the rest of the 
happy band they saw beauty shining in brightness-we philosophers 
following in the train of Zeus, others in company with other gods; and 
then we beheld the beatific vision and were initiated into a mystery 
which may be truly called most blessed, celebrated by us in our 
state of innocence, before we had any experience of evils to come, 
when we were admitted to the sight of apparitions innocent and 
simple and calm and happy, which we beheld shining impure light, 
pure ourselves and not yet enshrined in that living tomb which we 
carry about, now that we are imprisoned in the body, like an oyster in 
his shell. Let me linger over the memory of scenes which have passed 
away. 
  But of beauty, I repeat again that we saw her there shining in 
company with the celestial forms; and coming to earth we find her here 
too, shining in clearness through the clearest aperture of sense. 
For sight is the most piercing of our bodily senses; though not by 
that is wisdom seen; her loveliness would have been transporting if 
there had been a visible image of her, and the other ideas, if they 
had visible counterparts, would be equally lovely. But this is the 
privilege of beauty, that being the loveliest she is also the most 
palpable to sight. Now he who is not newly initiated or who has become 
corrupted, does not easily rise out of this world to the sight of true 
beauty in the other; he looks only at her earthly namesake, and 
instead of being awed at the sight of her, he is given over to 
pleasure, and like a brutish beast he rushes on to enjoy and beget; he 
consorts with wantonness, and is not afraid or ashamed of pursuing 
pleasure in violation of nature. But he whose initiation is recent, 
and who has been the spectator of many glories in the other world, 
is amazed when he sees any one having a godlike face or form, which is 
the expression of divine beauty; and at first a shudder runs through 
him, and again the old awe steals over him; then looking upon the face 
of his beloved as of a god he reverences him, and if he were not 
afraid of being thought a downright madman, he would sacrifice to 
his beloved as to the image of a god; then while he gazes on him there 
>>>>> 
>>>>> 
is a sort of reaction, and the shudder passes into an unusual heat and 
perspiration; for, as he receives the effluence of beauty through 
the eyes, the wing moistens and he warms. And as he warms, the parts 
out of which the wing grew, and which had been hitherto closed and 
rigid, and had prevented the wing from shooting forth, are melted, and 
as nourishment streams upon him, the lower end of the wings begins 
to swell and grow from the root upwards; and the growth extends 
under the whole soul-for once the whole was winged. 
  During this process the whole soul is all in a state of ebullition 
and effervescence,-which may be compared to the irritation and 
uneasiness in the gums at the time of cutting teeth,-bubbles up, and 
has a feeling of uneasiness and tickling; but when in like manner 
the soul is beginning to grow wings, the beauty of the beloved meets 
her eye and she receives the sensible warm motion of particles which 
flow towards her, therefore called emotion (imeros), and is 
refreshed and warmed by them, and then she ceases from her pain with 
joy. But when she is parted from her beloved and her moisture fails, 
then the orifices of the passage out of which the wing shoots dry up 
and close, and intercept the germ of the wing; which, being shut up 
with the emotion, throbbing as with the pulsations of an artery, 
pricks the aperture which is nearest, until at length the entire 
soul is pierced and maddened and pained, and at the recollection of 
beauty is again delighted. And from both of them together the soul 
is oppressed at the strangeness of her condition, and is in a great 
strait and excitement, and in her madness can neither sleep by night 
nor abide in her place by day. And wherever she thinks that she will 
behold the beautiful one, thither in her desire she runs. And when she 
has seen him, and bathed herself in the waters of beauty, her 
constraint is loosened, and she is refreshed, and has no more pangs 
and pains; and this is the sweetest of all pleasures at the time, 
and is the reason why the soul of the lover will never forsake his 
beautiful one, whom he esteems above all; he has forgotten mother 
and brethren and companions, and he thinks nothing of the neglect 
and loss of his property; the rules and proprieties of life, on 
which he formerly prided himself, he now despises, and is ready to 
sleep like a servant, wherever he is allowed, as near as he can to his 
desired one, who is the object of his worship, and the physician who 
can alone assuage the greatness of his pain. And this state, my dear 
imaginary youth to whom I am talking, is by men called love,

Cameron,
 
I lived with a woman who was quite depressed and emotionally irresponsible.  I used to just accept her behavior and try live with it just as you say you do.  I was not successful in keeping it together with her.  I learned a lot about myself, my path and who I was in relationships with women.  I don't know how you can be successful, but I can offer some words to avoid pitfalls.
 
<beginsnip: Cameron> 
I have her do balancing meditations with me, 
but she doesn't take the initiative to do these things without my urging 
and it really has to be a daily thing to be fully effective. When she gets 
down, she *really* gets down. 
<endsnip>
 
Pitfall:  If she does not take initiative in something there is no point in forcing it.  Perhaps she does not want to do balancing meditations.  She may be perfectly "happy" throwing tantrums.  If she is down, she has every right to be down.  Just as you have every right to live UP.  BUT, if she has unconsious expectations of some reaction or response from you to her tantrums and depression and you don't provide the right responses, a very explosive tension will build.  This tension will eventually have to be released.  In my situation, the tension release was not pleasant and ultimately led to the demise of the relationship.  I did not see it coming because I was just accepting everything and living with it.  But it was there and it exploded.  For tension release I recommend laughter.  Try tickling.  Try being absurd and goofy.  Try comedy.  Try anything that comes to mind.  But laugh at life.  Then deal with the intense emotional issues in the calm that follows the laughter.  Then repeat.
 
<beginsnip: Cameron> 
I don't want to do this to her!! 
I have seen this happen in other relationships of mine and don't want 
history to repeat itself.   
<endsnip>
 
Pitfall: don't take responsibility for her emotional states.  Those are hers.  You are not doing it to her.  The repeating is a clear message that you have something to learn in these types of relationships.  Date: Thu, 03 Apr 1997 17:13:29 -0800

Saw this on another forum 
seems relevant . . .
 
A Simple Trinity 
(Sat-Chit-Ananda)(Being-Consciousness-Bliss) 
(Father-Son-Holy Ghost)(Brahma-Shiva-Vishnu)
 
Here are three deceptively simple ways to approach a fuller,  
deeper understanding of the mystical core of our existence.  
Among the many hints, tips, tricks and techniques that Joe and  
Guin Miller (Theosophical Society, San Francisco) shared over  
their many years in working with the young people who looked to  
them: these three recurred in their discussions over and over  
again. Any of these three hints lead straight to the Goal if  
employed earnestly and boldly in everyday life. Do them in the  
1, 2, 3 order given here and we deal with dynamite!
 
1. "Just BE." Whatever circumstances you find yourself in, 
whatever disappointment or adversity you encounter, just be 
yourself, who you really are from the depth inside. Then, you 
will discover that inspiration and strength come spontaneously. 
Their source is the very Oneness. That, the Oneness, No-Thing, 
is always waiting for us to open the inner doors and windows.
 
2. "Be still, be very still." Without resorting to exotic 
meditation techniques or contortions of the mind. Just drop the 
concepts that are running your life for one moment. Be still! 
Let the Awareness you ARE in depth FEEL Itself for the space of 
even a single breath. Feel the Limitlessness? Feel the Peace 
that abides INSIDE?
 
3. "Take a gentle, in-drawn breath into the heart and feel 
unselfish love flowing out." Try it when you've painted 
yourself into a sad little corner emotionally or mentally. 
Without taking courses in Pranayama or worrying about where or 
what the Kundalini is, just gently breathe into your heart 
cavity and let pure love radiate from you. Feel the 
expansiveness, the magnetism? Feel the rush of pure Energy? 
That's a big piece of the map home.
 
These are not empty platitudes or little puzzles for novices to 
unravel: Each strikes directly to one of three Divine 
principles at the core of human existence, Sat-Chit-Ananda or 
Being-Consciousness-Bliss. To "Just BE!" is to relax directly 
into the Beingness (Sat) which is the unbreakable, ineffable, 
imperturbable core of all. "Being still" cultivates the 
Attitude of Simple Awareness (Chit). Taking that "gentle, 
in-drawn breath, radiating love" enlivens the Feeling Heart 
(Ananda). (Does this sound like esoteric Christianity? Yes!)
 
"It can't be that simple," the mind insists. "What about me?" 
the ego cries. "There has to be more to it than that," the 
doubter says. "Can't build a big promotion around this, there's 
no way to get a degree or put up a shingle," ambition 
complains. Only a gambler would bet his life on three 
platitudes. Only a donkey smuggler would exhort others to try 
it also. Only a fool would continue on.
 
"Ignore the opinions of others. 
  Let the rumors of your foolishness spread 
 far and wide. 
      None of it matters in the least. 
 Busy yourself with the burning of all of the 
     furniture in the house of the mind. 
   When the job is finished, dynamite the 
     foundations and bulldoze the lot." 
   --Richard Power, Theosophical Society
 
 "The way of love is not 
    a subtle argument. 
  The door there 
      is devastation. 
  Birds make great sky-circles 
 of their freedom. 
  How did they learn it? 
  They fall, and falling, 
    they're given wings." 
    --Jelaluddin Rumi, mystic and poet
 
If you realize that you are living from the Oneness, you are  
letting the absolute, the Reality, live through you. In other  
words, GOD SEND ME, I'M READY! Try it sometime. It'll scare the  
hell out of you.
 
There is "a simple way" means to dispense with "rigorous  
disciplines" and realize the Self. How? By quieting the mind  
and opening the heart!

Warm salt baths are good here.  Eat more heavily than usual.  Or, some 
recommend: Shake, rattle and roll - with or without music to help release 
the energy.

Hi!
 
I am very greatful for my experience.  I am a profesional musician, and 
also a student at the Peabody conservatory of music. I was going  
through a very uncreative time, almost a year, where I just wasn't 
able to think of anything new.  I have been recording professional 
albums since I was eight years old, but now I just didn't have 
that creative energy that I had when I was a young, nieve kid! 
Then one day at college I noticed a sign from another student saying 
that she wanted to form a Kundalini Yoga group to practice and  
meditate.  I thought that was wonderful because I have A deep dedication 
to meditation because of my wicca religion(not to affend any other  
religion, I hold every persons ideas and beliefs in high asteem!) 
anyway, Just a few weeks after I started the meetings, I noticed this 
incredible rush of song idea; so many that I couldn't write them down 
fast enough.  The best part is, I started having VERY intense and 
wonderful dreams again.  I haven't drempt like this since I was a  
little Kid!  I even started noticing that I eat differently.  I have 
always been a steak kind of guy, but now I have cravings for vegitables 
and fruits.  So, if anyone has book susgestions or any other ideas 
to help my journey, please write! 
   with happiness, Charlie

I'm very interested in this question of celebacy.I'm pretty disorganized, so 
what I'm doing is trying  to bash my way into the kingdom of "heaven".I've 
read the Mantak Chia book and do the techniques I find there, but it's very 
trickey.Let me explain.It seems that if you have ANY  notion of enjoying sex 
for sensory pleasure ,you fail to go where you want.If you are able to come 
from(pardon the expression) an innocent(er) or experamental place it goes 
much better.Energy is higher and meditation doesn't suffer yet it seems that 
something is still missing.Maybe more training, maybe as Yogi Tom suggests 
taking stock of who you are and honestly and consciously uniting the 
opposites here .But what are the issues here ?Confusion.
