The joy of sexual pleasure closely resembles the joy of kundalini rising.    
In taoist yoga the first feelings of chi-recognition are clearly compared    
to sexual tension. When learning the basics movement of ch'i from the    
t'an tien down the belly, past muladhara chakra and up the spine, you    
have to learn how to move the sexual tension up your body. 
If, when you begin to feel your kundalini, you are distracted by its    
similarity to sexual tension and you go have sex, and after orgasm allow    
the focus to fade and return to a non-sexual (and therefore non-kundalini    
aware) baseline you are losing the opportunity to develop spiritually.    
Karezza is more than just orgasming without ejaculation - it is correctly    
identify kundalini sensation and developing it into nirvanic joy instead    
of sexual joy, it's closest relative in our everyday world. How well you    
can feel aroused without acting on it will probably tell you whether you    
need to (or could be) celibate during your practice. 
Perhaps why the antique discussions always focuses on male ejaculation is    
because "orgasm" was an historically much less developed reality. In    
trying to tell people how to allow for the sexual intensity to build past    
(and without) orgasm the most graphically clear way was to outline a    
practice which denies ejaculation. I think that there is some    
misinterpretation of karezza and related yogic techniques because the    
texts are being read by very sexually aware students. We all know the    
difference between orgasm and ejaculation, we even know theories on    
different kinds of orgasm. Not nearly the same as the earlier cultures    
who were documenting these techniques. 
Why not discuss the female side? Probably because they were sexually    
divided cultures, where the women were not reading about or practicing    
advanced spiritual techniques. And, even if they were, it would have been    
in terribly poor taste to discuss it. Hell, there may have been many    
women high adepts, but no decent man was going to describe her sex life.    
In Brahmin class India the men are often isolated from any women's    
presence - how were they going to ever find out that women have orgasms?    
Not open discussion - there was no Dr. Ruth then.

I am of course curious. Can you name the 2 Shaktipat Masters you have

Agreed!  Thanks Marybeth, Freda! for the subject!! 
I think this is a very important question and one which interests me greatly. 
I think celebacy had a definite part in my "awakening."   I have recently 
become sexually active again.  I suspect there will be no change in the amount 
of K activity, but we'll see :))  My guess is that celebacy jump starts K, but 
that it is unnecessary and has no real affect one way or another after the 
awakening.  Any other experiences??

All of this talk about awakening Kundalini by a Shaktipat master inclines 
me to 
issue a bit of warning to newbies who may think this is a great idea. From 
my 
own personal perspective, I would advise people to make sure that they are
 
emotionally balanced before seeking out such an initiation. A person 
should have 
done plenty of emotional work on themselves in order to harmonize their 
phobias, 
manias, victim mentalities, co-dependencies, attachments and aversions. If 
one has 
not sufficiently harmonized with respect to these things, Kundalini will 
force you to 
deal with it, and in a much faster and forceful manner than you may be 
prepared for. 
I certainly don't want to frighten the uninitiated, but this is a solemn 
matter and not to 
be undertaken lightly. Going for such initiation is not like going for 
reiki training or 
attending some new age self-improvement workshop. Once Kundalini has been 
awakened, you have entered a one-way street, and there is no turning back 
if you 
find you don't like the experiences.
 
Personally, I was not initiated in this life. My initiation occurred many 
lifetimes ago, and 
as such it awakens of its own accord in each successive incarnation. So, 
that is another 
thing to consider: once awakened, it has forever been awakened and will 
work upon you 
until its ultimate aim has been achieved - no matter how many lifetimes 
that takes. Pandora 
cannot be put back in her box, or yours.
 
It is my observation that there are indeed people out there who are 
evolved enough to 
grant shakitpat, but who yet lack the depth of vision to fathom which 
souls are yet to young 
to deal with such power. It only takes an accomplished mystic to start the 
process, but not 
all mystics are awakened. Consequently, not all the "shaktipat masters" 
can sufficiently see 
the emotional baggage and karma that a person is carrying around. In my 
opinion, that is a 
requisite to granting shaktipat. I would not want to bear the karma of 
such fools who tamper 
with other people's Kundalini while yet being asleep themselves.
 
Finally, I would say that if you're going to go ahead and receive 
shaktipat, you should know 
ahead of time the anatomy of Kundalini and the meditations you must do 
when (not if) 
Kundalini tries to make a trip up just one of the channels.
 
Again, I have not stated the above to cause anyone fear of the process, 
but it is one of the 
truly pivotal moments out of a soul's multitude of incarnations, and 
should be approached 
with such solemnity and awareness of mind.
 
Just my opinion,
 
Ron Grimes

ROFL... Love the honesty of your e-mail. Speaking to this issue, I have had an observation 
and a question that I dared not ask previously for several obvious reasons, but since the 
issue has been opened, here goes...
 
Since my own K awakening in this life, and as the evolution of that energy increases, I 
have noticed that my wife's orgasms continue to reach new levels, as well as do her 
mystical states of mind during them. Any like observations by fellow Kundalites?
 
Thanks,

Maybe her kundalini is awakened too? Maybe it's contagious!

Ron, 
 
To answer your question, I have had some of the same experiences. My last 
boyfriend and I went to places I knew existed , but had never been. I went to 
past lives with him and once I exploded into the universe and became this 
golden essence and went to the great, great silent void. I became one with it. 
I could hear and feel the silence. He did not go with me.  I asked several of 
my girlfriends if they had had the same experience and they did not know what 
I was talking about. I have not been with anyone else since we parted ways. I 
look at sex as sacred now. 
 
I have been reading the posts on this list and I am very grateful to be on 
this list and have had a lot of questions answered and have a lot of 
information. I live in the Bible Belt and a lot of people here are too uptight 
or closed minded to even think of Kundalini. So, this list is great for me. I 
know that I have graduated the Jacksonville energy and will shortly be moving 
to the West. I look forward to the move and believe I will find others that I 
can discuss these topics with more openly. It really is hard to find people to 
take it seriously her and to give you an honest opinion or answer. 
 
Thanks again for the honest dialog, 
Barbara

Not to worry. How much Shakti you receive (take) and how much you retain 
really depends on the container (your body) you bring and your temperament.
 
Not much development, only a little will come to you. Lots of development, 
lots will flow to you.
 
The Shakti is intelligent and gives each one what he/she needs.
 
Also, the Master removes any blockages at the time of initiation. You come 
under the protection of the Master and the lineage.
 
Naturally it is always a good idea to research and study the Master and his 
lineage and to use discriminating awareness.
 
My experience has been that Shaktipat has enhanced everyone that I've seen 
get it. I'm not promoting it. It's a personal choice.
 
Worldly people blossom in worldly ways and spiritual people blossom in 
spiritual ways.
 
I've never seen Shakti hurt anyone.
 
It's written in the scriptures that people who try to initiate themselves 
by doing yogic practices irritate the Kundalini and usually have negative 
results.
 
What Ron said about the flame staying lit once it's lit is true. It never 
goes out. Ever. Watch out what you wish for. You might get it.
 
Kriyas bothering you and others around you?
 
Try chocolate and/or bananas.

For those who missed the instruction from the Vijnanabhairava on the 
correct use of sex for merging with the Divine because it was at the bottom 
of a Shaivism post, here it is.
 
Most of an individual's energy goes into digesting food and procreative 
processes. People who are doing serious Sadhana usually eat light, easily 
assimilatible foods and abstain from sex.
 
Its' a voluntary choice, not a requirement.
 
Then, all that energy is available for use in your Sadhana (your spiritual 
journey).
 
Btw...newbies... once you start your Sadhana (spiritual journey), it never 
ends. Ever.
 
People are warned in the beginning when they are thinking of starting a 
Sadhana that once they start, they can never go back.
 
That is the big decision one must make, and a decision which happens way 
before one finds out about Kundalini, Shaktipat, or anything else.
 
******
 
The Vijnananbhairava is 112 yogas for merging with the Divine catagorized 
into 8 bases of yoga as follows:
 
1. Prana -- Here's where instruction on what happens to the ol' 
     Kundalini upon awakening, etc.is to be found.
 
2. Japa (mantra repetition)
 
3. Bhanvana- creative contemplation
 
4. Sunya  (void)
 
5. Experience of Vastness or Extensive Space
 
6. Intensity of experience
 
7.  Mudras and Asanas
 
The instructions on the use of sex as a yoga are not in the Prana base with 
the Kundalini where you would expect them. They are in #6. Intensity of 
experience.
 
>From the Vijnanabhairava:
 
"Even in the intensity of sensuous experience, one can have the experience 
of the Divine, provided one is careful to track the joy felt on such 
occasions to its source.
 
"The first one is of the joy felt in sexual intercourse mentioned in the 
verses 69-70. It should be borne in mind that this example is given only to 
illustrate the intensity of experience in union. From physical union, one's 
attention has to be directed to spiritual union. This does not advocate 
sexual indulgence. The notes on these verses should be carefully read....."
 
"Sex is an example of the joy of intensive experience derived from Sparsa or 
contact."
 
Dharana 46 Verse 69
 
"At the time of sexual intercourse with a woman, an absorption into her (1) 
is brought about by excitement, and the final delight that ensues at orgasm 
betokens the delight of Bhahman. This delight is (in reality) that of one's 
Self.
 
NOTES:
 
1. This absorption is only symbolic of the absorption in the Divine Energy. 
This illustration has been given only to show that the highest delight 
ensues only at the disappearance of duality. Sivopadhyaya quotes a verse 
which clarifies the esoteric meaning of this union. "Just as being locked 
in embrace with a woman, one is totally dissolved in the feeling of 
one-ness (unity) and one loses all sense of anything external or internal, 
even so when the mind is dissolved in the Divine Energy, one loses all 
sense of duality and experiences the delight of unity-consciousness. The 
Sruti (scripture) speaks of the union with a woman only to illustrate the 
union with the Divine. It is only a fool who takes this illustration as an 
injunction for carnal pleasure.
 
2. The delight is that of one's own Self. It does not come from any 
external source. The woman is only an occassion for the manifestation of 
that delight"
 
DHARANA 47 Verse 70
 
"O goddess, even in the absence of a woman, there is a flood of delight, 
simply by the intensity of the memory of sexual pleasure in the form of 
kissing, embracing, pressing, etc.
 
NOTES:
 
Since the sexual pleasure is obtained simply by memory even in the absence 
of a woman, it is evident that the delight is inherent within. It is this 
delight apart from any woman that one shoud meditate on in order to realize 
the bliss of the divine consciousness"
 
*******
 
and..... for the Musicians in the crowd:
 
Dharana 18  Verse 41
 
"If one listens with undivided attention to sounds of stringed and other 
musical instruments which on account of their (uninterrupted) succession 
are 
prolonged,(1) he will, at the end (2) be absorbed in the ether of 
consciousness (and thus attain the nature of Bhairava)
 
NOTES:
 
1. The resonance of musical notes lasts for a long time and being melodious 
it attracts the attention of the listener. Even when it stops, it still 
reverberates in the mind of the listener. The listener becomes greatly 
engrossed in it. A musical note, if properly produced, appears to arise out 
of eternity and finally to disappear in it.
 
2. When the music stops, it still vibrates in the memory. If the yogi does 
not allow his mind to wander to  something else, but concentrate on the 
echo of the music, he will be absorbed in the source of all sound, viz; 
Paravak, and thus will acquire the nature of Bhairava."
 
Pretty cool....

  Well, sure. You are sending K-fire up her spine.. sex is a fun way to 
Shaktipat. I think that is part of the reason for the ashram scandals.. 
folks don't understand.  
  In fact, one source of my abundant energy, is the many unknown fellas who 
pleasure themselves while looking at my pix.. they are casting spells on 
themselves with their fantasies of submission, to send their sexual energy 
off to my purposes. I have a spell set up to redirect the energy up to 
Goddess, and She repays it back to them.. I get some of what comes back down.  
  It was not my intention, to be fueled by my advertising, in that way.. 
but after a while I realized that it was happening, .. partly from men who 
were calling me up to tell me so, after taking a year or more to gather the 
courage to do so.. seems my higher self shows up to accept the offering.. 
and when I figgered out the side effects my photos were having, I set 
structures in place to take care of the transaction, for the good of all.. 
so some fellas are growing by shaktizap via erotic fantasy. Go figger..  
    Blessings, Mystress.
