Paul West:  Yesterday I experienced something perhaps for the first 
time in my life. I felt that I was aware of being aware. Is that what 
you mean about meditative state or spirit?
 
Cathy:  That's a start, Paul.  When I can't meditate, I remember to 
simply observe.    I have a little joke I tell myself:  "Think Yogi 
Berra:  'You can observe a lot just by watching.' "   :-))     [Hope 
you've heard of Yogi out there in England; he's quite famous in the 
States.]
 
Focusing on the chakras, one by one, until reaching the brow, or 
third eye chakra, helps me to meditate more deeply.  When I've really 
connected, I strongly feel the presence of my higher self, and it is 
a great comfort.  Any sadness disappears.  It's a feeling of relief 
and relaxation, like soaking in a hot bath.  This is a passive state, 
where I simply attune to my spirit, and sometimes "hear" any message 
it wants me to know, or sometimes I ask a question.  At these times, 
I don't feel alone, for I am joined by myself.  If this ever happens 
to you, you will know it.  Your mind might try to imagine itself as a 
receiver, tuning in or searching the air waves for a divine signal.
 
Keep trying, and don't get discouraged.

Hello. I'm wondering if any on this list could e-mail me personally and tell me whether what I'm living is kundalini related or not. 
First some background on me. :) I'm 25 now, a young man living in Canada. I'm quite trim and fit. As a child I was considered very "sensitive" because I would cry over sad things and wouldn't fight or be mean like other boys. I had lots of friends but was very lonely. At 13 I hit a depression stage that secretly lasted for about ten years. Secretly because I wouldn't admit I was depressed. I have always loved trees and people. In fact, I'm wracked with the confusing dellemia that all I want is peace for humankind, but I'm so disturbed by what we do!  
Anyway, I'm a musician and made a "carrer" out of it for a few years. Two years ago I started having panic attacks. All my syblings get them. I seem to have learned control over the panic attacks now. While living in Victoria up until a few months ago, though, I was paranoid and losing it all the time, shaking and feeling like I was dying, constantly. One night, after watching the X-files" I awoke at 2:00am shaking so violently I couldn't talk. My girlfriend helped me. I couldn't walk the streets and felt 24 hours in some electric-like altered state. My girlfriend was diagnosed as diabetic and once she was I started having low-blood-sugar reactions. I became insanely paranoid about my health and have realized over time that I can make myself physically sick by just concentrating on it. 
Now I am in the small town I grew up in and am calming down. :) I dream constantly on the same theme. Somebody does something horribly wrong (murder, steals, whatever) and I find myself in a place to avenge it. Sometimes I do horribly violent things in these drrams and sometimes I struggle with myself to not avenge... 
I have never hurt anyone in my life and get angry when people kill bugs that they could simply put back outside. Bugs are our friends, too. :) 
I wonder now, as I read about kundalini, because of a few things. One: I have many planets in the eight house of my astrology chart, which they say is the house of kundalini. Two: a new age woman I once knew said stuff about my kundalini (not that I knew what she meant) and Three: I've always had a deep fear that there was a power inside me that, if unleashed, could be terribly destructive. It's a fear I can'yt talk to anybody about because everybody sees me as a role model of positivity and meekness. 
Please e-mail me if you have anything to say that could help me in this trying period of my life... :) I would be ever so grateful. aries_ariseATnospamhotmail.com

p.s. I'm constantly getting strange pains, especially in my chest. 
More headaches then ever. I have noticed though, that when I'm totally happy, I'm completely unaware of any 
paranoia, feelings of looming death or strange pains... :) Is this kundalini or  
just something else?  :)

Okay you guys, I know about the area code.   
I have figured out that 701, in gematria, is the number of the archangels.  As 
my guru's "number" is 10 off his corresponding number in gematria, I am 
thinking I have figured it out.

<< Generally speaking, a blocked throat chakra has to do with feeling safe 
to speak your mind. Are there places in your personal history where you were 
punished or suffered because you spoke out? Or because you did not? Did you 
make some personal resolutions about how you would express yourself? >>
 
Judy....
 
This can include self-punishment also and many times when one is punished 
from an outside source they begin to believe that they are truly bad...
 
Working through this myself and with others I have found that finding a 
trusting non-judgemental person to speak with and share your true inner 
feelings is wonderful. With this person you will need to learn to open up, 
not such an easy task sometimes.
 
> I was always opinionated and outspoken as a child...and punished for it.
 
Once you open up I expect your inner child will become extremely happy and 
wish to freely play and have FUN once again. Do not be so concerned of when 
your throat chakra opens, it shall take time to heal. Allow it to become a 
guide get in touch with your throat chakra. How does it feel when you wish 
to express yourself but don't? How does it feel when you express yourself? 
Become conscious of it...use it as a tool, a part of You.
 
>Eventually, I learned to be quiet and now I have trouble speaking up 
>when I have to because its what I learned to do to survive.  In fact, I've 
>never been able to tell friends my deepest emotions.
 
Learning to open up is wonderful, I suggest you find a group of people you 
share an interest with whom, speak openly, sharing inner experiences. Reiki 
Healing groups are such a group, if you know of one or ask around. Reiki 
friends believe in unconditional love....just a thought. <S>
 
>  People sometimes think I'm aloof or stand-offish...it's just my 
protective armor.  Now, I just can't 
>break free of it.
 
What is there to break free of? Learn to look at your inner beliefs there 
you shall find your reality. If you believe that you just can't break free, 
you won't. Take a look at that and you shall find yourself....Who You Wish 
To Be.

My Kundalini experience started almost 3 years ago.  I felt a "burning" in the small of my back, after "seeing" a big black ??? hovering around me.  Later that evening, as I was falling asleep, I felt electricity going up my spine and down the front of me.  This led to:  cessation of asthma, telepathic conversations, visits from demons (horrible) and finally, visit to psych hospital and medication for "hallucinations".  The demons were a part of my life and there was no escaping them.  I am now fine, for the most part, no meds, feel "electric" often, have OBOs, brain function has increased, feel at peace.

i wonder if anyone has an opinion - do we get our sense of 
'self-identity' from within, or is it how we are reflected within 
'community'? if - we just go inside & 'merge with oneness', how do we 
translate that into business relations within a community (NOT anyone 
else in this community who pays ANY attention to their own soul)? 
I'm being thwarted & battered by forces of *ego* & greed around here... 
thanx in advance for any ideas.

Has anyone out there who has been through kundalini have a case of 
manic-depression  
or depression due to a chemical imbalance (or maybe chakra imbalance).  
What has happened  
to you since you have gone through kundalini.  Have you overcome your 
depression or 
have the symptoms disappeared or does it help with these new energies to 
cope with your  
depression.  Whenever I first started meditating I did it with the 
intention of curing this illness  
(if it does I can help a lot of people).  Has anyone out there recovered 
from either depression  
or manic-depression.  How does Kundalini affect people who are depressed.   
Thank you for your comments. Gregory Howard 
<<
 
Hi Gregory,
 
I can only tell you that 20 years ago I began to dabble with 
'psycho-spiritual' things that  
I didn't understand.  In retrospect I see that when I started these 
practices (without help 
or guidance of any sort) is when my life began to fall apart.  I started to 
drink and things  
just got worse.   I sought professional help and was diagnosed 
'Manic-Depressive Disorder'. 
I took lithium for a while.  Finally I stopped drinking, that helped some, 
I stopped dabbling 
in the 'psycho-spiritual' and I got connected to people again. I also 
stopped taking lithium. 
I did things with my life that made me feel worthy.  Then the MDD went away 
on its own.
 
(I have recently discovered that I have Attention Deficit Disorder - I 
suggest you persue 
that possibility - I strongly urge it....  It's not a problem now because 
I've developed  
coping mechanisms, but it was a real self-esteem killer when I was a kid 
and set me up 
for a lot of negative thinking - which later got invoked and appeared as 
MDD.  A lot of ADD 
people have been misdiagnosed as MDD.  By the way if anybody tells you 
there is no such 
thing as ADD just walk away from them.  I find that if some people haven't 
experienced it  
you can't convince them.  I know it is real.  I deal with it every day - in 
both myself and my son.)
 
I understand now (and experience) that 'raising kundalini' can **really** 
wreak havoc with your mind. 
You *must* keep your feet on the ground and not let the mental angst which 
sometimes  
comes overwhelm you.   
 Kundalini may not be the tool you want to use to 'cure' MDD.  
 I would suggest first admitting to yourself what you really are - both 
good and bad.   
Start practicing 'mental calming' through meditation - nothing too intense. 
  
Find your 'center' and learn to get there in an instant. 
Get there whenever you need to.  If someone is in your face get to center 
and listen to a song in your head as they rage. Don't take in others 
negative thoughts. 
Above all do not allow yourself to get into the rut of negative thinking. 
You must also get some exercise, eat reasonably and *get enough sleep*! 
I repeat again *get enough sleep*.  Did I mention getting enough sleep?  
Don't get too much though...  
  
The real key for me was to 'normalize' my life.  Everything in moderation. 
 
Living away from your 'center' leads to inner turmoil.   
Living near your 'center' leads to inner peace.
 
Does kundalini help?  It can, but it can also cause problems.  
I wouldn't try to use it now if I were you.
 
Does meditation help?  Yes, especially if you use it to get and stay 
centered. 
Meditation will also help you examine who you are. There is peace in the  
acceptance of the truth.  Once you are free of the 'lies' you believe about
 
yourself (and we all have them) you can begin to improve and change. 
Once you start to 'improve yourself' then self esteem and self control show 
up. 
Once you are settled and feel good, your life straightens out.  Then you 
can  
begin to dismantle your ego and start seeking enlightenment.  (I not there 
yet 
but I'm still trying!).  
 Dismantling the ego and clearing karma are some of the  
things that kundalini does.  They will throw you into disarray - but you 
will now be  
able to deal with it! 
  I prefer to use Raja Yoga techniques as opposed to 'raising snakes' - 
Raja Yoga  
gives a path and tools to move toward enlightenment - without the grief 
that 
kundalini sometimes brings.   I think the ancient ones called kundalini a 
serpent 
not only because it lies 'coiled' at the base of the spine and the spine 
and the  
Ida and Pingala nadis have the general shape of a snake, but also because  
SNAKES BITE!
 
Don't get me wrong - k is a wonderful thing.  I must say though that if I 
invoke it  
too often I start to feel *very* emotionally out of sorts. Things *really* 
bother me. 
Not only that but the world seem to start activating just the very things 
that  
disturb me - I call it the 'Shakti-Whack'. 
 
Lastly - keep a copy of 'Desiderata' around.  It helps.
 
Desiderata
 
Go placidly amid the noise and haste,  
and remember what peace there may be in silence.  
As far as possible, without surrender,  
be on good terms with all persons.  
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;  
and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant,  
they too have their story. 
 
Avoid loud and aggressive persons,  
they are vexations to the spirit.  
If you compare yourself with others,  
you may become vain and bitter,  
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.  
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. 
 
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;  
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.  
Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of 
trickery.  
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;  
many persons strive for high ideals;  
and everywhere life is full of heroism. 
 
Be yourself.  
Especially, do not feign affection.  
Neither be cynical about love,  
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment  
it is perennial as the grass. 
 
Take kindly to the counsel of the years,  
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.  
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.  
But do not distress yourself with imaginings.  
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome 
discipline,  
be gentle with yourself. 
 
You are a child of the universe,  
no less than the trees and the stars;  
you have a right to be here.  
And whether or not it is clear to you,  
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. 
 
Therefore be at peace with God,  
whatever you conceive Him to be,  
and whatever your labors and aspirations,  
in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. 
 
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,  
it is still a beautiful world.  
Be cheerful.  
Strive to be happy. 
 
I'm sorry about the length of this post folks, but I thought it was needed.
 
Say, where is Lobster lately?  Did he go to a clambake by mistake?
 
Be caught, Be cooked, Be Tasty!
 
Peace, 
Chuck.

Hi Dave my heart goes out to you,Think bugs have to reincarnate to and  
like the saying goes s--t happens you take one step and you cant help  
killing thousands of things small as they may be there still alive 
There is no need to avenge anything people do this to themselves  
acountability does exist,So does Christ its how it is give your self a  
break, My advice for any one wired with K is if meditation is not giving  
you the rest you require go to the Doc and get some knock out drops  
things can look awhole lot different with a good rest,believe me ,as to  
the sensitivity I too can connect and feel anothers pain physicaly the  
trick is to keep those emotions under control as an introvert this is  
what ive been doing all my life just to be comfortable, give your self  
abreak stand off a little                          
      kind regards

Aimee:  How do you read thoughts by subtle bodylanguage or thoughts in the

Aimee: Why would you lie ?   I've never read your profile but I felt that 
you were over 30.  That's strange.   If your for real and are only 19 I 
feel for you.  If not dont lie.  I've been burned by liars and I don't give 
myself anymore I feel like something has been taken from me.  So you'll 
have to write me.  My experiences started at 19.  I feel like I'm 19 still.

lose faith in the act of sharing ?
