Subject: [K-list] Breathing, the reason why ?
From: Jacques de Schryver et Linda Steven

Hello,

The first thing I noticed about breathing is that
it is ideal for massaging the spine.

I think too that massaging the spine is the key to
raising Kundalini.

First, after working toward these kinds of breathing
that influence the sensations in the thorax region,
I noticed a rich feeling of sprouting of life from
the bottom of the back to the shoulder, and from two
fingers under the navel up to the neck.

It is all like being aware that this is a vast surface
whose innervation is beginning to connect.

And perhaps, in my opinion, this is the point.

These sensations, as many controled by the autonomous
nervous system, may have existed before, without being
(by definition) perceived consciously. And I come to
consider that Kundalini might be the coming to the
most recent parts of the brain of perceptions that
were not yet directed toward it.

As simple as that, it makes it clearer that those who had an
involuntary awakening may be looking back for it to come
again. But how ? Then breathing might be more than a trivial
matter.

Sometimes, when hyperventilating, I had the feeling of
having one bee swarm in the belly and another in the chest.
As a diver, I was taught to consider the 'dizzyness of
the depth' and several peculiar states of consciousness
as being due to the 'partial pressure of gases'.

Which is exactly what happens when you breath. You modifiy
the percentage of carbon dyoxide, nitrogen and oxygen in
your blood.

For a better understanding of theory, I suggest you read
Bentov (Stalking the Wild Pendulum), where he suggests that
the homunculus (part of the brain responsible for physical
sensations) is in charge of Kundalini awakening, at
least from a physiological point of view.

So my very idea is that, by increasing the thorax
sensations, breathing acts upon the homunculus to
prepare it for 'looping' its tiny electrical charges
that are Kundalini. It's just like if our brain was a
lamp fed with 60 Volts which is suddenly
plugged on 220... And gets unexpectedly brighter.

So these are Froggy Jacques ideas :

breathing stirs the spine, which spurs the homunculus,
which goes on looping, bringing greater awareness,
either as a spin-off (at least) or as an evolutionary
process (ideally).

More on request ;-)))

Jacques

nb : I consider putting my personnal works in english
on my US site. I'll do if someone is interested.
