 I may have experienced even more than this. Read my awakening. I

 Unlock.

 Is attachment the opposite of detachment? Can love be experienced

 Are these the chills of the spine that I experience during a
really cool part of a movie? Do they feel good? I believe these chills
are a good sign. It means you have released yourself to something that
has "cleansed the spirit" or relaxed your body and spine so much that
energy can flow freely and pleasure can be experienced.

 For those of you who have read my "awakening", what should I tell
my mother? She does not want me to go to California to work in a co-op.
She believes that this coming term is a time in which I am more suseptable

Here is where Trust comes in.
There is a Higher Intelligence with a much better view of things then
you have right now.
He/She only has your best interest in Mind.

There is no friction in True Knowing.
Friction suggests wasted Energy.

I am talking about Consciousness as Energy.

The "trying to control" suggests more friction.

Yes. Resistance is a form of stagnation.
Transformation requires trust and surrender.

This sadness is Everyones'. That person is a catalyst for bringing your
sadness to the surface, so it can be released. (not just tucked away)

You could keep it hidden.
But then it rears its' ugly head in some new form.
It will reappear again and again until you begin to face it with
awareness.

Fear is not logical. : )

What if one goes so deep into fear that ones' awareness dispels it like
a light dispels shadows? I am drawing distinction here between thought
and Pure Awareness. An explanation will always be incomplete. I am not
saying explanations are "bad'.

Only if it is experienced without awareness.

It can save your life.
It calls your Awareness to where awareness is needed.

You cannot escape Yourself.
That's good because you are a ray of the Divine.

     I get them about 30 times daily for as long as I can remember. My mom
     gets them too. It's starts at base of spine and "wriggles" to the top
     of my head ending in a tingling sensation. I experience these little

greetings

upon checking with our sources - the body and spine chills are related to
unresolved issues - this life or past life - the kundalini reacts with that
by producing body chills and spine chills - and the feeling of serpents in
the spine - etc.

in kundalini work it is always preferred to prepare the way first rather
than just rising the energy - if the way is not properly prepared - then be
prepared for the results - and the discomforts of that.

there are methods of dealing with this - which require higher energy
vibrations to over ride the kundalini effects - each application of the
higher is somewhat of a work of art - and individual to each situation.

In my experience, the spine chills are one manifestation of
energy. One thing you might be aware of is how it travels through
the body. I noticed that as I meditated, it would go progressively
higher from the base of the spine up through the top of the head, and
can recirculate (also it can go down the legs, into the ground and
back up the front).

If you are interested in energy, then you might pay attention to
other forms such as sexual energy. From one perspective, you
will notice the pleasurable sensation, but if you examine it
a minute, then you might notice a similar tingling sensation,
that is stimulating the gonad chakra.

Sometimes energy will manifest in some different form such
as warmth that will travel or in pulsing vibrations. In
my case, I have noticed that the warm sensations
generally tend to be physically related, whereas the tingling
can be working on a different level.

This tingling is not the kundalini, (the tingling energy opens up
the channels to help prepare the kundalini experience).
In the above sentence, however, I am only passing along what I was told,
since I haven't had the kundalini experience.

Hello:

Sometimes when my thoughts start runnig faster than i can handle i yake
downers such as Valium and Diazepan to slow my mind down so i can
interact with others and be more grounded. Any sugestions on how to
throw the pills to the toilet, because as good as they may seem i know
they don´t do me any good at all.

Thanks.

 One can learn to ignore or be detached from stimuli where
awareness is needed. Learning to do this is useful (firewalking,) but
losing control of this ability is dangerous.

As someone who has had some Kundalini activity for over 20 years and
constant, never-ceasing, full-blown activity for almost 7 years, I can
say that I agree whole-heartedly that one must "trust the process". I
have been to the depths of hell and to the heights of heaven, but
through it all, from deep inside, I have always trusted the process. I
also agree that it is not very easy to do so when the extremely
difficult episodes take place. Years ago, I would never have believed
that a person could endure some of what I have gone through. But I have
occasionally been rewarded with incredible, miraculous, experiences that
cannot be adequately described to someone who has not experienced such
things. Trust the process. The Power knows what it is doing.

 I have advice. I was "forced" to take pills for awhile. You are
probably addicted to the downers. The dependancy is probably chemical,
but I would suggest you ask a physician about getting off medication.
 There is only way to solve is problem of "mania". You must think
more slowly. You know this. You need techniques. Don't walk. Walking
increases the heartbeat and works the brain. Put yourself in an
environment where there are few distractions and all stimuli in your
external environment are constant or expected. Put your body in as low an
energy state as you can (lie down.)
 Realize that no matter what anyone has told you, you are quite
capable of controlling your own thoughts and you have been doing it all
your life. With this realizition, fast thoughts should not generate fear.
If fear is generated, determine the source of the fear and counteract it
as you would any fear (thought, action...) before you attempt to control
the fast thoughts. Realize that all fast thoughts are is the rapid firing
of neurons in your brain. This rapid firing is fueled by glucose.
Radioactive glucose will be more highly concentrated in your brain than
around other neurons in the body. This glucose will show up on a PET
(CAT?) scan. Do not let a psychiatrist see a scan with high brain
activity or you may be marked for life. Realize that if you are in a
"sterile" environment, and are not being excited physically, most neural
excitement will be merely the result of current neural activity. If you
are not experiencing thoughts then you are experience excitement.
 If you are experiencing excitement, it may be because of the
thoughts you are creating. Are you experiencing control over the
thoughts? If you are not, "take control" of those thoughts by realizing
that they are the result of the vibrations of your neurons. Are the
thoughts exciting? If you are thinking about sex, money, war, crime, a
disturbing memory, a disturbing possible future, or an exciting invention,
realize that you can continue the thought later and will not lose it.
Realize that you are in control of your thoughts, and to believe that your
thoughts are not controlled by you, but are controlled by something you
have no control over such as a vague concept known as "brain chemical
imbalances" or another person, or anything in your external environment is
a delusion. Take responsibility for your thoughts. Stop caring about
what you concerns you at the moment. Detach from it. Keep yourself in a
safe stable environment so detachment is possible and safe. You have
learned detachment most likely. Get plenty of sleep. If your thoughts
are keeping you from sleeping, follow the above procedure without fear of
failure because as long as you are alive, you can influence your thoughts
with equal skill at all times. To decrease your concern for your safety,
I would suggest checking your heartbeat. If it is above 190, you may be
in anaerobic range which means you are breathing very quickly. If you are
breathing very quickly, pranayama will bring this under control or cause
you to lose consciousness which will terminate your conscious thought. I
would suggest slowing your breathing over passing out though. If your
heart is within acceptable limits, you should not be concerned about the
speed of your thoughts and should direct your focus to your body. If your
body is in pain, continue to decrease your heartbeat by detaching from
your thoughts or controlling your breathing until the pain in the body is
gone. If you are asleep, that's ok. If your heartbeat increases, you are
doing something wrong and must try something else. The most important
thing in controlling autonomic processes is confidence. If you believe
you can slow your heart and your breathing, you will succeed. If you
believe that your efforts will fail, attempt to speed your heart and you
may experience enough success at failing to believe that you can succeed
at succeeding. If you still fail, consult a physician for biofeedback
equipment or give up and use a medicine, it can't hurt that much can it?
If you really really can't do anything else to solve your problem,
alternate between reading this email message and the side-effects on the
bottles of medication that you are taking until you no longer care what
they say. At this point, you will probably be bored enough that your
heart rate is low. Sweet dreams.

Disclaimer: I have only a high school education. I don't have any
work experience in psychology. I have been wrong in the past. If
anything I have said is different from advice given by someone with more
education than I have, I would have a serious conversation with this
person before attempting to control your own thoughts. If you have
questions, consult a physician or a psychiatrist.

Ditto for me. My Kundalini Awakening had been incredibly robust and
continual for almost a year before I found "The Stormy Search For The
Self" by the Grofs. That made me think that perhaps it was Kundalini
(which I had never heard of before). When I found Bonnie Greenwell's
"Energies of Transformation: A Guide to the Kundalini Process" and saw
that I had experienced almost every single "symptom" she had outlined,
including Samahdi, there was no longer any doubt.

Thank you, Dan. After the day I've had, I needed a good shot of humor.
(I'm sorry, I couldn't resist);-)
