Kurt says: There is a book published by Bollingener Press that is simply ``Mudras''. It is always interesting to try to 
understand what is causing our particular kriyas - but that's really focussing on what's being purified 
(impressions/samskaras) and not the purifier (shakti).

Kurt says: I'm not sure if I'm correctly interpreting Blyth's message but - to me mudras can be spontaneous artistic 
expressions as well as releases due to blockages. Many people experience full hatha yoga asanas etc. during meditation. They 
may or may not be aesthetic, but they are the result of purifying blocks.

Gloria here: 
 I am glad we are talking about this again because this is something I 
have experienced a lot of and even had a very powerful tandra experience 
which is that place between dream and vision that is so very 
undescrible. Anyway, this was quite a few years ago now, I had been 
called to this meeting of masters which seemed to be in the Himalayas, 
one of the men I have worked with for many years was at the base of the 
mountain, in fact he is on the heart list, Larry Newman. 
 
 He said they are inside the mountain waiting for you. I said yes I 
know. The next thing I have penetrated the mountain and have gone very 
high up and into a long tunnel inside. There is a eastern male standing 
outside of a cavern he is telling me that no one passes this point. I 
say that is ok I've been called. I enter into this area where there is 
balloons ascending like it is a screen, I move through it to the 5 male 
figures in long brown robes, they all had beards. One being comes 
forward we begin to speak and a vacumn sucks me out into the next room, 
I can still hear him talking but now he is speaking through a oriental 
man laying on a cot. His third eye is visible it moves from between his 
eyes to his mouth, I hear the being say to me. Bring me the spilt milk. 
And that takes me back into my body. 
 
This experience stays with me as though it happened yesterday. That is 
the nature of the tandra experience I am told. 
 
The spilt milk is this fluid called urdhva retas and for many years 
while experiencing this movement from the 2nd chakra up, I had the 
illuminated awareness and the total detachment from the body as though I 
watched it become transparent but I never connected the milk to that 
experience.
 
 Now I understand it, that is Shiva asking for the milk from Shati and 
this center with such power and force is the Sahasrara. In order to get 
into it I had to go through the third eye through the tunnel into the 
brain, and the four other beings with Shiva were different aspects of 
himself that were going down in the elevator to other stations or 
centers in the body. 
 
Another aspect of this tandra was that there were few women who passed 
through this curtain, I was assigned to change this. And, your right 
this is not something I've heard spoken of in regard to the process and 
so it does need to be brought to awareness. Gene brought this discussion 
up which really helped me understand this experience much more then I 
had before.

GG 
I do believe it enhances the union, since it seems to carry that 
frequency to the whole body and not just to the head as one experiences 
with the Sahasrara. When shakti moves up from the base to the crown 
after it has descended and cleared and balanced all of the centers then 
it brings the frequency of illumination from the head to the rest of the 
body. By the way, this is also what causes you to lose consciousness 
because it does tend to take you out of your body, at least that is my 
experience. Harsha and Indra, can you explain this more clearly?

I don't know that it is either of those, it was called milk.

  That concurs with my experience..   
 It seems to evolve as we do, once the contagious effect shows up. We learn 
to carry a higher and clearer vibration, as the energy body and physical 
are cleared. 
 It may be too, tho, that not understanding the effect, I was interpreting 
it differently.  
 I never know what the energy will do, when I share it.. K. is 
intelligent,and I trust that intelligence.  I don't think of what happens 
with the energy as being my decision. I send it out, with love and the 
faith that It knows what to do best and will do it, in concert with the 
higher self of the reciever.   
  Free will: what happens, is up to the soul choices of the recipient.  
  I looove it whan someone gets back to me to tell me what did happen.. it 
is always surprising and unique. The tales always carry back much wisdom 
for me.. I a not aware when folks visit the site, tho.. I don't need to be, 
it's not set up like that. 
 
>>>So I think there are two parts to your question: 1) What is your 
>responsibility to the individual >that imparts shaktipat to you. <...> 
>>>If you wonder - ask your initiator. 
  You've asked.. speaking for myself, the answer, is none,  that I can 
think of...  
  I don't own Shakti, She owns me. Creative energy comes from Her.  
  Free Will Is.. and folks do as they please, always.. so why have 
unneccesary expectations lying around? 
 
  "We teach best, what we most need to learn." What goes out, comes back .. 
I assist folks realizing unconditional love and limitless wisdom within, I 
grow too, and get to live in a world of unconditionally loving wise folks! 
Whee!  
  I do the work, and let Goddess take care of the accounting.   
     
>> 
>>Blythe: 
>>I did.<..> What I do is simply give a big push, flying is up to you." 
  Precisely so! I present an offer:Want a push?  
  K. is intelligent energy.. it knows what you need, better than I could 
comprehend. Where you fly, and how far, is up to you.. K. is 
self-protective: I trust it will provide a parchute, if you need one. My 
highest intention, is that someone will not be drawn to the site, except by 
the will of their own Higher Self. Free Will Is. 
 
>>>The tougher question is: 2) What connection have you created between

At the beginning of the grounding page, and in the index before it, 
there is a warning?? ...A strong suggestion to wait to read the excercise, 
until you have time to do the meditation at the same time.   
  Choosing to read the page, is consenting to the connection.. .. as 
someone who skimmed it first and meditated later discovered.. 
  Shaktipat by Word... and... um.. ah..
 
  There is much more to it than that.. but I have scrapped about 14k so 
far, trying.. and I cannot seem to describe it.  My forehead is starting to 
feel like concrete, from today's attempt. 
  Ow. Ok Goddess I'll give it up.. ow. Go back to playing with hot wax for 
a while..  
    ***************** 
 Whew! Well,  At least now I understand Why not. It's not about protecting 
the structure from negative influence, it's a free will issue.  
  By my attempt to describe it, I am attempting to put limiting frames on 
what the individual experience of it will be.. and one does not do that 
with K.  
 Sorry.. no can do. 
 
  It seems okay to explain it's history..    The seed of the idea came from 
the list: the shaktizap online effect was much discussed, with speculations 
about the effect of putting K-inspired art on the page, partly inspired by 
the effect of Grandma Devi's pic on the web, among others.  
  The grounding excercise itself, I have been doing variations of, since I 
dunno when.. originally it was much more complex, with less focus on the 
heart, and more on physical relaxation via imaging and creating an inner 
mental garden or temple to meet with spirit guides and angels.. or to speak 
to the unconscious directly. 
   Periodically I would find someone in front of me (in a social 
situation.. even as a hairstylist .. they were captive in my chair.. 
surrender to the will of your hairstylist!! She Knows, fer sure.. LOL! ) 
  ... despairing of their lot in life, and I would get the impulse to offer 
to teach them to use imagination to positively affect their state. I would 
offer to lead them thru a visualization...  
  Some folks took the ball and ran with it.. and I would hear from them 
with their questions, periodically...  or their achievements and 
discoveries. Spirit told me what they needed to hear, or for me to listen.. 
often it was new info for me, too! I love really good questions!  
  I did not know to connect the changes they went thru with K.A. or even to 
myself, really.. some did nothing with the information, forgot it immediately. 
   The one who used it sure seemed to give their lives a good shaking out, 
in the years or months following, tho. Eventually they made the leap of 
faith in trusting the guidance, and didn't need so much feedback/attention 
from me, anymore.  
  Others would come..  
  The grounding has been refined and reformed over the years, out of 
borrowed bits of wisdom as diverse as NLP and Huna mysticism. Mostly, by 
subtle training coming from the heart voice of the people I taught it to, 
by the way it answered the questions they put to it.  
  I first wrote it up as a K-list post, refined the text occasionally 
before I resent. Converting an email to a HTML doc. usually takes a few 
hours, but this one took months of tinkering and listening to spirit, 
before it "Got approved." Gathering energy I suppose...    
   
  I dunno how to describe it better.. Spirit wrote the page.. Goddess 
provides the K. fire. I am the "Ground crew". Info on a need to know" basis..

>between yourself and the >initiator. 
  (Speaking for the site) It's more of a connection on a "universal" level: 
it is not connected to my day to day being. Visitors to the website do not 
affect my moods, nor is it connected to how grounded I feel in the moment. 
  (Goddess reminds me She may choose execptions to any rules I suggest.. 
but this is how it has been so far, in accordance with my intentions. Most 
interesting.. I cannot say what it is, I cannot define what it isn't. It's 
Kundalini. Shaktizap online. Go figger.)
 
  Putting it another way, I have already connected with anyone who will 
ever connect with it, because it is constructed beyond space-time.. the 
website is like a doorway. (maybe.. or like an anchor?? A key... here we go 
again.. I'll stop now.)

  Huna mysticism describes aka cords very elegantly, and I believe they are 
also the "superstrings" physicists suggest are holding the universe 
together. Everything is connected to every other thing. Relationship, 
attraction.. gravity... Love.   
  I do a ritual occasionally to cut any aka cords that are not in my 
highest good. Send out a last blast of love and K.fire, to manifest what 
ever they need. Usually I do not ask who is cut. I trust my higher self 
judgement. I do it when I find I am unusually tired. Not very often.  
  Lately, when I go to ask that something "be in the highest good", Goddess 
laughs at me. Gently. She reminds me that She is All that Is, and so how 
would anything not be? There is only fear to fear, and it comes from me. I 
ask that it be so, anyways, as I am not yet free of creative fears, ... and 
the response is another gentle laugh. Like, I think I need to ask, for Her 
to be loving?  
  I give up my fears to her, and get a K-ride out of duality, to where 
things begin.. 
   
  To be practical, tho.. gain more confidence, by putting protections on 
autopilot. There are all kinds of ways to do this, depending on your 
reality-tunnel. Your being is a biiig computer.. set up the programs, ask 
your angels to keep an eye out for them, give them their own grounding 
cord, and leave them running. Check on them if they seem to be acting up, 
to see how your needs have changed. Make your prayers, and trust that 
Goddess has it handled. The more you trust, the better it works. Limitless 
manifestation, unconditional love. 
  Decide how powerful you are, and how safe, and say I AM. Then when stuff 
comes, you know it must be in your highest perfection, and be immediately 
pleased at the gift of silver linings.. even if you do not actually 
discover them, for a while.. you know they are there for you.

   Well, navel-gazing can lead to self- absorption.  
  Start looking for the you in them, and the them in you, and they get 
interesting again. Aloof gets lonely, eh?

Hi: Interesting how we are tested.                       Jan 15 1998.
 
This part of Canada was hit with a brutal Ice storm for 4 days. 
  We have been out of electrical power and proper heat for almost 
a week.  Using candles, and  a kerosene heater  for heat, light and  
cooking, (back to the basics).   Its ok for the first few days but as 
it goes on it becomes an ordeal.     
   A quick drive north of us it looks like a large bomb went off 
we had about 3 inches of ice from freezing rain over 4 days,  the 
tops of trees are gone older trees and buildings  completely 
collapsed.   Power and phone lines poles snapped down, over 3000 
in Eastern Ontario and Quebec. 
    The weather warmed a little and large and small pieces of 
ice came off building, trees and power lines like cannon shells. 
    The military have come in and there is still a state of 
emergency,  they go house to house checking on people watching 
for looters and generally adding and clearing Debra. 
    We are learning to be resourceful.  Electric light with a car 
battery and no TV, Computers but a small battery radio. 
     This has been a good test of ones self values and spirit. 
Everyone needs a good natural disaster once in a while.   We where 
fortunate no injuries or property loss, others not so fortunate.

Hi Freda,
 
Normally, I am a "lurker" of the K-list and pass through most of the emails 
without much thought.  However, your message about your recent attitudes and 
feelings has prompted me to speak up as well.  It seems that lately alot of 
people have been dealing with this 'test' of patience, focus and 
determination.  My attitudes have been swinging so far out of whack, that I 
too have had an unusually hard time keeping it together as well.  What 
prompted me to respond, was Gloria's response to your message about the 
possibility of deformation in that particular chakra.  My throat (for the last 
few weeks) has been driving me nuts!!  It's not sore & I'm not sick either. 
It just feels tight and makes me want to try and cough to get rid of something 
that is stuck there (sorry for being so graphic!).  Is it possible that my 
throat chakra is 'deformed'?  And what are the possible methods to get past 
this?  It sometimes seems that when you are looking too hard for the answer, 
the harder it is to move on.  It's raining here now, so maybe I will see that 
sign of love soon!! 
 
Love and Rainbows to all, 
Random One

Witches and Silent Meeting-type Quakers are both taught to look for/ speak 
to that of God/Goddess in everyone. It's always been interesting. Now that I 
see on so many other levels, it's breathtakingly beautiful/tragic/glorious. 
Funny sometimes. Frustrating others. Hardly ever boring....as long as I can 
spend most of my time out here with cows, hawks, tractors, clay etc. They 
have simpler stories.
