Message-ID: <3509BF21.EA3F9403ATnospamtransbay.net> 
 
Recently I've had a series of experiences which I've now 
identified as a kundalini awakening.
 
I've been practicing Zen-Buddhism for about 2 years, and 
have a steady meditation practice.  I practice a local Zendo 
and  generally meditate about 5 times a week.  For the last 
month I've noticed a change in my meditation.  I've felt 
energy/tension building through my spine.  Since I have bad 
knees I pay particular attention to my posture while 
meditating.  About two weeks ago when I was meditating at 
home I felt the tension/energy in my lower spine and watched 
it slowly building up my back.  I was mostly focusing on my 
breath but I noticed the pressure move slowly upwards.  It 
went through my neck and reached my head.  Just before it 
reached the top of my head I felt a tremendous sense of 
electricity and anticipation.  My mind became very quiet and 
I was with my breath.  Then the energy burst through the top 
of my head and I went into a series of seizures and 
convulsions.  I was conscious the entire time this was 
happening and observed this occuring.  I only stopped when I 
fell off my meditation cushion.  I got up had a drink of 
water and noticed I was incredibly twitch.  I would 
spontaneously start shaking in different parts of my body. 
I also could summon a seizure at will.  I had a feeling of 
calm and clearness, but very little physical control of my 
head, neck and back.  I noted the experience, but weird 
things happen while your meditating so I didn't think much 
of it.
 
Since the experience I've started a daily stretching/yoga 
practice that I had been meaning to do but never got around 
to.  The next time I meditated it didn't happen, but the 
last two times I meditated at home I've had the same 
experience and seizures towards the end of the meditation 
session.  I've stopped meditating at the Zendo because 
seizures are not a part of Zen meditation.  I've also cut 
down my meditation a lot because I was a little worried 
about this.
 
Right now I have mixed feelings about this experience. 
Physically my body has started transforming, I'm stretching 
more and becoming more flexible.  After each of the bursting 
experiences I would start spontaneously doing yoga stretches 
and positions.  My body moved in a very fluid relaxed 
manner.  Mentally I was clear but a little disassociated and 
detached.  When I write about this experience I have the 
same sense of detachment which may explain the tone of the 
posting.  I'm a little troubled by the seizures and shaking, 
but physically I feel great.  I also am aware that this sort 
of experience can be dangerous.
 
My questions:
 
    Are there health effects that I should be aware of?
 
    Should I continue meditating at a Zen center where the 
teachings are not concerned with this type 
      of energy movement?
 
    Should I try to find a yoga teacher that focuses on this 
sort of energy, eventhough I'm a 
 Buddhist?
 
I realize that some of these questions have probably already 
been answered, I haven't had a chance to look at the mailing 
list archives.  If there are discussions posted could you 
refer me to the documents that describe them.
 
Thanks, 
    Dan M.

On this side of the painting it's a kneeling figure and its arms are in  
this 
backward position which go right out of the back like that and that puzzled  
us 
for a long time.  Because you get this very awkward arm position painted  
all 
over S. Africa.  And I was in the Kalahari talking to some San (Bushmen) 
medicine men and one of them said without my asking him.  There is  
something 
else I can tell you, and he stood up and bent forward and put his arms into 
that posture and straight away I knew he was going to explain what had  
puzzled 
us for decades.  And he gave us a background for that picture.  (So what  
was 
it? AA asked)
 
KK says: 
There's a book called *Boiling Energy* by (Steven Katz?). The premise of  
the book is the Kalahari Kung! tribesman have a culture built around  
kundalini. It is a very interesting book. One of the most interesting parts  
of it is the portion where the anthropologist (Katz?) asks the healers, who  
are the kundalini adepts, to draw self-portraits of themselves. One healer  
drew a cyclone like energy vortex with no particular correlation with his  
physical body. After that I thought a lot about how our society (I just got  
an email that my new picture is ready to be posted on the local bulletin  
board) reinforces a ``material 3-d body'' view of ourselves whereas a  
culture could reinforce a ``spiritual energy vortex'' view of ourself.  
Imagine getting an email - ``your 4d hologram energy-dynamic chart is ready  
to be posted now on the local bulletin board, could you stop by and approve  
it?''. That would be more liberating.

The post regarding African shamanism and kundalini sparked me to pose a  
comment I've been musing about. 
I'm increasing tending to believe that kundalini is not a phenomenon of our  
higher cortical brain faculties but rather the more primitive ``reptilian''  
portions of our brain. So I'm inclined to forget about relationships  
between kundalini and genius. I guess if I had any remaining prejudices  
that kundalini was linked to genius they went out with the discussions that  
Gene Kieffer evoked late last  year. But it does seem that kundalini can  
have significant effects on our motor and emotional systems.  Comments?

Hi Peswani, 
     One should ask the question which you have asked and work 
     towards seeking it's answer. 
  
     But I found that unless this question urges from within one 
     will not understand the question to it's full seriousness and 
     won't be able to think deeply over the question. 
love, 
anurag

Hi Jan, 
 What you have said is an awakening thought because having little

I learned something new today.
 
I am reading a book called  THE BREATH OF LIFE by Kozo Nishino, 
ISBN 4-7700-2022-8 .
 
Mr. Nishino, besides attaining the highest ranks of aikido and kung fu  
was a classically trained ballet dancer and choreographer among other  
amazing things.
 
He teaches a breathing method with ki to his students.
 
Have you ever seen those movies where the martial arts master flings  
people into the air with just his thoughts?  Now I know that is possible  
cause I met a master who can but in my naivete I thought it was his ki  
throwing them. 
 
Nishino states,"Through the hands, one transmits, the entire body's ki  
to the other person.  As one improves, however, one can send energy into  
the other person's body directly without touching the hands." (I have  
known this for years and am adept at this.  I know there are others on  
this list who are adept at this too.)
 
..now the interesting part..."When the ki of two people collide, the  
weaker ki will rebound. That is why many people who receive ki from  
their instructors are thrust back involuntarily (he has pictures of men  
flying off into the air from his body without him touching them).
 
"As their ki becomes strong, and if they are still overpowered by their  
instructors, the rebound effect will be stronger, making them reel or  
'fly' or manifest some other strange and wonderful reaction.  They are  
not thinking when the energy enters their bodies; nature and their body  
rejoice.  Quantum theory states that the elementary particles that make  
up the body's cells are composed of vibrating energy.  When the body  
receives a strong input of energy, the vibrations are aligned and  
amplified, and hence setting off various reactions.  In that moment when  
ki passes through the body, one feels inexpressibly good, and in fact  
some students start laughing uncontrollably."
 
...Could it be that when I send energy to other people it is my energy  
coming back to me that makes me smile  :)...reflected by them?  Seems to  
make sense to me.
 
Then he talked about something that I do intuitively but he happened to  
discover by chance one day in an a match with a more experienced  
opponent.  He talked about breathing from the soles of the feet.
 
He says that in Oriental health..the feet are considered the second  
heart...it is another place from where to pump in ki. He says a lot of  
his students 'breathe in' ki from the center of the earth from the lava.  
The intent is to breathe from the feet and up and through the body.
 
...I do this already but it is fascinating to see this come from a  
different source.  I love this!  A different perspective on the same  
things.
 
Blessings, 
Susan

Ed Arrons here, just dropping by to say hello and to thank you all for  
your flow of thoughts, your expressions of love and joy, your reaching  
out to grow as caring human beings, and your humor.   I've learned a  
lot from all of you in sorting out your different points of view and deeply  
held convictions.
 
I haven't devoted much time responding to your posts in the past few 
months, being too busy reading yours and contemplating the greater 
meaning of this adventure in communication.
 
I think we are all here for a greater purpose, perhaps to convert this 
means of communication to a form of communion with unprecedented 
spiritual power and evolutionary significance, radiating love, joy,  and 
healing to so many deprived people and our ailing planet.
 
Hopefully we will shift some of our K energy to this end.

Anurag > The question is not  whether sex is a sin or not. It is right 
  that " When it is through Love then sex is also healthy" . But 
  what even if in that sex energy flows downwards i.e. through  
  ejaculation( i am assuming that after sex if energy flows  
  downwards it will be lost in ejaculation). By becoming perfect in  
  certain yogic exrcises one can have sex and at the same time  
  divert the energy upwards simultaneously rather than downwards 
  than one will lose nothing.

Brahmacharya or absolute abstinence  does work very well, for  
monks or for those who have chosen that path of absolute celobacy . Others 
can also choose to abstain whenever they wish  to do so. There is nothing 
wrong there either. As Once said in earlier post, that Kundalini rises  
normally in all who have vertebrae from the base to the solar plexus and 
it also comes down to base chakra . In humans,whenever we have LOVE  
(not the desire for sexual act), during those times the Kundalini also  
rises to the level of the heart chakra and then after a duration it 
> travels back down to the base. When involved in artistic activites or  
singing , the Kundalini rises to the throat Chakra and after a duration 
it flows back again to the base chakra, and so on and so forth even including 
 the Crown Chakra, during MEDITATION on the third eye or the Crown Chakra. 
If one is able to hold and sustain  the Kundalini at the Sahasrara or  
the crown, for a continuos period of twenty one  days , then the soul can  
leave the body for good, through Nirvikalpa Samadhi. It all depends what 
the individual wants through the movements of the Kundalini.
 
Anurag>  
Here you are saying that Kundalini rises to Anahat(Heart) Chakra 
and after sometime it returns to base than in going to Anahat 
Chakra it will have to croos other Chakras in between than why 
don't experience other Chakras on the way to Anahat Chakra.  
  
 
 Anurag> I suppose that the awakening of kundalini means you have       
  successfully penettrated and awakened all of your major 
  seven Chakras. 
 
 
 Anandajyoti>  
 Awakening to me is simple waking up to that awareness by my 
 consciousness. Even if the awareness be not present, yet the Kundalini  
will  awaken to do the functions mainly centered around the base, sacral 
and solar plexus chakras, in our day to day lives all the time. I have 
explained this on my web page, in my  article on Kundalini.
 
  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
 
 Anurag>         Here i will say onething that once your full Kundalini is 
   awakenened that means your Sahasrar has awakened fully.
 
 Anandajyoti>
 
 I could not agree with you here., as awakening and sustaining 
 Kundalini  at any level of consciousness and awareness are two different  
phenomena.Even after Kundalini has been to the crown Chakra it will come back 
 again to the Base Chakra, in the natural course. The difference is ,  
the experience which is obtained when Kundalini is at the Crown Chakra,  
remains for the life time of the individual in the memory. How we act in 
our lives through the learning of that superb experience, is the matter of 
our consideration, choice , and living in our day to day lives from that 
center of realization.
 
Anurag > The importance of Experience can die in this material world and 
  according to you then individual will be same as he was before  
  Kundalini awakening. So then what's use is to raising Kundalini. 
  You haven't said anything about sustaining.Can you kindly explain 
  sustaining clearly.

 lifetime, and then they also can decide for themselves how they wish to use  
 that experience in their lives, according to their choice.
 
Anurag> Once they have lost interest in material life then how can they 
 decide  themselves. Moreover when one's Sahasrar has been awakenend 
 one will in such a bliss that one will not leave that stage.

 Who is the 
 Guru? The guru in person is simply  a flagperson, showing us the way, it 
 depends on the individuals own aspiration and effort
 
Anurag> Guru is someone who is placed higher then GOD because HE is the 
 one who united you with the GOD until then one was a fool. He is 
 the one who took care of you when you lived or you didn't whether 
 his presence is felt to you or not.

 He is who tells you don't live for self because 
      
     THOSE ALONE LIVE WHO LIVE FOR OTHERS  
     REST ALIVE ARE MORE THAN DEAD 
  
I picked this quote from a tailor's shop. 
 
Anandajyoti > 
 The winds of grace of the Universe is always there, one must unfulr the 
 sails to  get its benefit and advantage. 
   
Anurag > I suppose there is nothing like benefit or advantage. Till these 
  words are there one thinks of self. When he/she has seen he/she 
  and universe are the one then whose benefit and advantage will he 
  take. 
 
 
 According to Advaita philosophy, You are SELF REALIZED all the time, take the 
 obstructions of the ego and personality away, and the SELF shines in its own 
 LIGHT."KNOW thyself and to your own SELF  be true- sayeth the LORD." 
 
 Blessings 
 and Love,

Anandajyoti> This is very reasonable , that whatever energy we may possess or 
acquiremay be manifested in flowering our hitherto known talents also, and they 
can also be 
used in fantasies of unlimited dimesions. That is why , a preparatory period is 
essential 
for all of us, just as, if we want to experience, learn , understand and apply 
even any 
subject of this realm, like politics, economics, sciences. philosophy etc. we 
need to start 
in a gradual way , progressing step by step, to know the pros and cons of the 
subjects 
which we may study and grow towards more experiences.Do we blame the sciences, 
if an explosive expert uses the knowledge to destroy property and others in 
society. 
For each category, there exist right applications and mis- applications, don't 
they?
 
With best wishes, 
Anandajyoti
