I see. I have only recently started getting sensations in my actual 
spine, intense heat and stuff.

It's not so much in the middle of my forehead, it's a little lower 
sort of in the `brow'. I dunno, sometimes I get pulses which seem to 
be just in the dip at the top of the nose where it joins the brow. 
Other times if its more of a swirl or ripple it'll be a bit higher up.
 
I have dabbled before in using the third eye to see aura's. I have 
only vaguely managed to see my own aura's base colour which I believe 
it a milky blue. Aura colours are so beautiful. I dabbled with seeing 
the base aura colours of certain coloured objects. Often when I'm 
sitting on the toilet I will just stare at some of the coloured 
sponges and see the various colours. Most nobably is green which emits 
a kind of peachy aura.

What is a nadis? I haven't heard of that.
 
>   1) Root.. tip of tailbone. Fiery red. 
 
I have been having quite a bit of activity there just lately. I too 
have become accustomed to associating colours with the various 
chakras, particularly for visualisation if doing any intentional 
chakra work.

I've not had a lot of activity in that one. It's the sex-related 
chakra isn't it?

I sometimes feel pulses in this one. I understand it also has 
something to do with connectivity to the etheric/astral planes and is 
used in astral projection or out of body experience?

As far as I personally know this covers the whole top of my head as if 
you were wearing a baseball cap perhaps. At least that is how large it

Yes I have read there are other levels above the crown to do with 
solar, galactic, and universal consciousness levels.
 
Thanks for the info.

Yeah.. me too, admitting to greed rather than more noble sentiments  
about diversity. First, its impossible to please 400 people. For  
all who wish we'd just can the poetry, sometimes several post private  
"thanks was just what I needed to hear today." For the intellectual  
scholars among us, some are thrilled to learn this...perhaps many  
other's eyes just glaze over at more Sanksrit "unfamiliarity."  We could  
ask...??? 
people to just reply only to the poster with "personal stories"  
and their reactions to them, but some enjoy eavesdropping on others  
experiences and the confirmation that you are not alone with this  
wierdness may be very comforting. A bit of humor is enjoyed by some,  
(ok, so we got carried away in ONE post..we don't do that EVERY DAY!) 
   So what if you hit delete 10 times for the joy of the one post that  
really speaks to your interest??? If you can't stand something, but it  
happens to be very important to SOMEONE..isn't that ok, that you are  
slightly inconvenienced by  TWO seconds deleting?? 
   What about that you can read 10 short posts in same time as one very  
long one?? So, it it really the number or the length that's a problem??  
But who wants to be limited when they really, really need to pour their  
heart out??  Granted, if you can't keep up every day, may be better to  
unsubscribe when you go away.  
   So, we can try harder..label, snip, be brief and succinct..reply just  
to the poster if what you want to say is not really adding to the  
discussion.  Seems we can keep our freedom to express and share, without  
too many "rules"..if we are none of us "too greedy", too often.  But I  
also vote to keep the 'variety'..its the spice of life, after all.  This  
is a great bunch of people here.

Harsha: Who is your Jain monk friend?  Chitrabhanu Ji, the spiritual head of 
Indian Jains in North America is a friend of mine.  Jainism offers a very 
detailed cosmology of the universe.  Karma is viewed as both subtle particles 
and vibrations.  Many of the Jain Tirthankras (Fully Liberated and Omnisicient 
Saints according to Jains) are shown with snakes giving shade to their crown. 
Jain Shakti Mantras differ slightly from the Hindu mantras but maintain a 
similar basic sound.  Most of the Jain Tantric texts on Shakti and higher 
practices (such as how yogis leave the body) have not been translated. 
Recently someone at Ontario did a dissertation on some aspect of Jainism for 
those interested in these matters.

Hey, there !
 
I'm a 32 year old Norwegian who found your website after a search on Alta Vista. 
 
As a person with everyday experiences with Kundalini, I just want to add some important point which is often forgotten among those practising Kundalini Yoga.
 
I'm practising something called Kriya Kundalini Yoga (sometimes performing up to 1000 Kundalini circulations (Kriyas) on a single day), and do have valuable information to share. I feel, in fact, that it is my duty. I cannot point to any single Kundalini-experience of importance, there are too many of them. I just want to add, that many people have a tendency to become one-dimensionally when awakening Kundalini.
 
In the ordinary Eastern tradition, they say that Kundalini shall move from the root chakra to the head and stay there. But I think they forget something. That is the fact that in order to make it possible for Kundalini to go upwards, another energy have to go downwards, in order to remain balanced. If all energy moves from the root chakra to the head, without a corresponding downward energyflow from above, one may begin to feel the environment as something *strange*, developing a state similar to psychosis. On the other hand, when the energy from above, goes downwards, without a corresponding arise of Kundalini, one may begin to feel one's body as *strange*, developing deadly diseases. 
 
Many people do only talk about the upwards movement. But these to movements are dependant of each other. They are Yin and Yang, positive and negative polarieties. And there have to be in balance, there have to be an equal amount of energy in these two streams (the first is sushumna, the other is another nadi, which I will not mention here) in order to remain balanced during Kundalini experiences.
 
Some people call the other energy form the light body, the immortality body. And it's descent is equal important to the Kundalinis ascension in my opinion. Any opinions of what I have said ?
 
I'm not talking on behalf of any organisation

Hi Magne!
 
Welcome to the list. 
It feels as you were being expected here. What a relief. 
You might explain a little bit about the proper way to handle this rushes of 
energy. Seems like you have a lot of experience on this issue. There are 
grounding exercises and other ways of recieving light but I am sure a lot of 
people here would like to know your ways. 
How does kriya Kundalini Yoga works?
 
Well, there are a lot of questions so let´s take is one step at a time.
 
Great you are here!

P.S: Love makes the world go round. Let´s keep on spinning the wheel!
 
And speaking of round. What about ondulation? waves of that energy through 
other channels (nadis?) felt in circular motion.

Message-ID: <19980428.193112.3238.0.trexisATnospamjuno.com>
 
I've heard so much here lately about the sushumna vs vajra central nadis 
(as well as 
the other that I don't remember) that there's been no mention of the ida 
or pingala. 
What is the relation between kundalini energy rising through 
vajra/sushumna and 
the energies rising through the ida or pingala?  Like the vajra, the ida 
and pingala 
do not reach all the way to the sahasrara but end at or below anja.  From 
my limited 
understanding, the majority of Gopi Krishna's difficulties were due to 
his reliance 
on the fiery pingala and neglect of the cooling ida.  Seems like he ran 
25 miles 
of a marathon hopping on his right leg nearly collapsing from pain before 
he relented 
and used his ida to cross the finishline.    Is kundalini running through 
these two 
"parepheral" nadis?  Could energy running through the ida,pingala,vajra 
be a precursor as John the Baptist to clear the blockages and make a 
straight path 
for the comming of kundalini through the sushumna?  I saw and looked 
through a 
book on a twelve chacra system.  In addition to the 7 spinal vortices, 
there were 
five encircling the body at a radius near armslength .  A friend who does 
crystal 
healings dowsed these (using a heavy necklace chain) in preparation for a 
stone 
laying and mentioned that they were still closed.  He said that they open 
gradually 
in one's lifespan and I'm only now 26.  I only remember the two lateral 
from my hips 
and forget if the others were lateral to my shoulders and the final one 
above my head 
or below my feet.  The one I'm rather interested in that is mentioned 
from time to time 
is the heart chacra "beneath" anahata.  Is it the four petaled lotus?  My 
minimal involvement with hawaiian systems mentioned both separate.  With 
anahata being 
functional on an interpersonal level of giving and recieving love as well 
as the harmonic node between the energies of the 
maladhara/svadisthana/manipura and those of the  vushudda/anja/sahasrara 
the other heart chacra is something more 
like the window to the soul.  Where he had near difficulty with some of 
the shaktis, 
the piercing of the non-anahata chacra was nearly instant and effortless.
 
Could someone please name/explain more concerning this energy vortex?

Message-Id: <35469209.MD-0.196.paulATnospamstationone.demon.co.uk> 
 
Hello.
 
As an intengral function of the ego I have, over time, attempted to 
`play' with the uprising of kundalini and with spiritual awaking in 
general. I have dabbled in a number of mystical and esoteric areas, 
although not to any masterful extent. I often found thought that doing 
so intentionally never seemed to work properly, and that the main 
success would come quite on its own. There never seemed to be a good 
substitute for the grace of God.
 
Way, way back in 1994 when everything suddenly started coming into 
consciousness, and when kundalini seemed to wake up, I took a trip to 
London with a friend. We were going to a specialist computer show. In 
one of the main train stations, perhaps Waterloo or Kings Cross, a 
Hare Krishna man came up to me. He had one book left and so he gave it 
to me. It was called "The science of self realisation". He of course 
chatted to us for a little while about various things. He seemed to 
think it odd that I looked so happy for my age. He was an American 
man, deep-set eyes which seemed typical. He of course was collecting 
money for drug-rehabilitation work he was involved in. I didn't have 
much left after the long day but I gave it all (only a few quid). That 
book just about transformed my whole way of looking at things at that 
time, and the way I aquired it seemed strongly guided.
 
After that time I started to look for other material but because this 
was of my own choosing - chosen by ego mainly - there were a lot of 
things which didn't have quite that destiny about them, a lot of 
wasted time and a lot of dead ends. I suppose that's normal though. As 
the years have passed I've seen time and time again that things happen 
best when they have a need to happen all of their own and not when you 
intend that they do so. But, also over time there has been a bringing 
together, a marriage of these two ideals. It seems now that I am 
coming to a position where intention is merging with the magic - 
co-creatorship of my reality. I am only on the fringes of it at the 
moment but I know it is happening.
 
I don't really know why I'm writing this. It seemed like a good idea a 
short while ago.

Message-Id: <35468E8B.MD-0.196.paulATnospamstationone.demon.co.uk> 
 
Hello.
 
I have been meaning to ask for a while now why a number of people here 
are in agreement that kundalini is a `goddess'? I am interested in 
what has led you to find out the gender-nature of it?
 
I myself have only ever referred to kundalini as male, and the time 
that it appeared to me as a person in a dream it was male.
 
Something, however, which I have been quietly monitoring over a long 
period of time is the change in the /appearence/ of enlightened 
entities to me, in my dreams particularly. I get dreams where what 
seems to be a `guide' is talking to me, but as I look at this person 
they will take on the image of some person from my past who I perhaps 
had some particular attitude towards. Just recently this occured and 
it took the form of my an Uncle of mine who is not much older than me 
and who I had various opinions about in the past.
 
On other occasions I notice other characters seem to be presented to 
me. Always the true nature of the entity who I am interacting with is 
hidden underneath these altering appearances.
 
One morning I entered an out of body experience situation from within 
my sleep. I was simply standing in my bedroom. In front of me appeared 
a man. He just stood there. There was absolutely nothing about him 
that I could possible pinpoint as a characterisation, and yet he wore 
clothes and had a normal appearance. He was totally quiet and he just 
looked at me. He just `was'. And as I looked at him I could see myself 
in him. And then I started to ask the most sincere, deep question - 
"who /are/ you?", a question totally void of authority or preconceived 
answer. I did not know this man in any psychological way whatsoever. I 
started to lash out in fear. I could not handle that I could not 
attribute an identity to him. I am sure this was my true self. In this 
particular occasion he was not covered in the appearence of somebody I 
know.
 
But on other occasions there have been a lot of characters from the 
past being used as `masks' for who seems to be my higher self. It is 
as though a constant way of working through it all. Like every part of 
his interaction with me is designed to give me the opportunity to 
learn of everything, infinitely. Even if he might be tutoring me in 
some other way, his apparence and manner will themselves also be a 
lesson. It is kind of an enlightened approach. I know also that this 
man has previously taken on the image of `alien' entities as well as 
horrific monsters. In fact everything that has ever happened in my 
psyche seems to have been my view of truth at that time. I must admit 
that the people I am now interacting with in my dreams are becoming 
more christ-like and more compassionate. I figure this means progress.
 
There might be a point where I will observe kundalini as no longer a 
male identity, as no longer being a male person, but for the time 
being for me it is male and I would like to know why other's believe 
otherwise.

Hello.
 
Something kundalini related which happens to me sometimes is a kind of 
twitch. But maybe calling it a twitch is misleading. What happens is 
that something, most often a single finger, will suddenly raise 
upwards and return to its original position, with rapidity. It's like 
a kind of ordinary spasm or twitch but seems more `intelligent', like 
on a higher level of order, you know.
 
Has anyone else had this sort of thing happen?

 I've noticed that during periods of extreme stress, or even when 
I'm just feeling less than energetic, I get these short, jabbing twitches 
that hit the base of my neck, just above my shoulders.  Sometimes they are 
stronger than others, causing my head to actually physically twitch.  Not 
a repetative, creepy twitch that scares people on the bus, but more like 
one sharp snap of the head about 2-5 degrees and back to facing forward. 
After the twitch I generally feel embarassed, like I was just released 
from the nervous hospital (everybody see Slingblade?  great stuff).  After 
the embarrassment passes, I can sense some strange head-tingling.  I never 
associated that with kundalini until I read your post.  Chances are I'm 
closer to the mental patient than the sage (not much difference anyway, 
both are thrown into altered states of consciousness, the sage is trained 
for and working for these experiences, where the mental patient is a

COMES THE DAWN
 
After a while you learn the subtle difference 
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul, 
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning 
And company doesn't mean security, 
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts 
And presents aren't promises, 
And you begin to accept your defeats 
With your head up and your eyes open, 
With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child 
And learn to build all your roads 
On today because tomorrow's ground 
Is too uncertain for plans, and futures have 
A way of falling down in mid-flight. 
After a while you learn that even sunshine 
Burns if you get too much, 
So you plant your own garden and decorate 
Your own soul, instead of waiting 
For someone to bring you flowers. 
And you learn that you really can endure 
That you really are strong 
And you really do have worth. 
And you learn and learn... 
with every goodbye you learn.

I found this on the wall in the office of the women's shelter I work for. It 
seems to me that it can just as well speak to a male. The "DECORATING YOUR 
OWN SOUL" got me. :)

i find it interesting that paul also has dreams that the same person, in his 
case, a man, appears in different guises to work in his dreams.  does anyone 
else?  i mentioned in my intro that the same woman in different guises aids 
me in dreams.  i know it is the same woman different faces in each dream she 
appears in.  and she doesnt really aid me but is there while i help myself, 
like an overseer, or something, but i feel strength from her.  i believe her 
to be the archetypal wild woman clarissa pinkola estes refers to, the form 
of mother earth.  my question to the list is, has this to do with k*, is it 
goddess / god?  personally i refer to god as *it* not out of disrespect, but 
because to me the physical expression of life is the lowest form, with the 
soul being highest.  since i believe great spirit /goddess/ god to be the 
highest form of life there is, i dont really attribute a physical gender to 
it.  but i also believe in the presence of the goddesses like kali and nut 
and gods like ra and the greek and roman gods and goddesses and they have 
genders.  im not quite sure how i integrate my beliefs but i do :)  mother 
earth is different, in that to me she is feminine. she is round, she 
physically births all life, she moves through cycles like clockwork, she is 
physically represented, we can touch earth.  when goddess is referred to on 
the list is it mother earth?  is it what a lot of the world excludingly 
refers to as god?  is it nut or kali or another goddess or all of them?  is 
it k*?  which brings me to what will probably be a very ignorant question 
and i am sorry to ask it:  is k* god?
