Dear List,
For several years my k has been on the quiet side. Originally - 15 years
ago- I had a very intense awakening that lasted almost a year, included a
near-death experience, an experience of going in the light, and of coming
"back" as a completely different person that who I was before. And much
more, happened, too, as you might imagine. The whole process took many
years to wind down, actually...when I say a year, that was just the most
intense and painful part. There were some good effects too; x-ray vision
into people's energies, being more loving, more focused on gratitude,
valuing life, etc.My life (as you might imagine) has never really been the
same.
This awakening occurred, I believe, from a spontaneous shaktipat that
happened when a follower of Muktananda - at my request (not knowing about
the shaktipat part) - looked me in the eyes. Literally, a third eye came
forward to look at me for several minutes. This occurred 14 months before
the awakening began.
Quite honestly, I have needed the last 15 years to recover and integrate
the experience.
Anyway, for some reason, lately I have been thinking about the k again. It
feels like I am no longer afraid of it, that I am ready to start
befriending it a bit more, and that I could hold her energy better.
Either coincidence or not, but suddenly, in the Bay Area, where I live,
there are 3 events happening very soon. Shree Mataji (the mother guru of
Sahaja yoga) is in town next Monday (and I have always hoped to see her one
day). She is said to awaken the k very gently and sweetly. Then Ammachi is
coming a few days later. And then on the 17th of June, Gurumayi is giving a
one day intensive with shaktipat. (Gurumayi is Muktananda's successor and
therefore my "k-lineage").
What a convergence of big energies-- all from women! And, suddenly, I am
drawn to going to one or more.
My friend who is k-awake, says there is nothing to fear, since, in his
words, "I am already awake". It will be more of a tune-up, or refill. Then
I read something from the kundalini page saying Danger Ahead! etc.
I don't hear much discussed about a second shaktipat. Does anyone here have
any experience with that? I know I have to make up my own mind, which at
this point is drawing me to go-- to all three, possibly. Just wanted to
hear from others what they might have to share.
Also, now my husband wants to go. I am a little worried about him, since I
would hate to see him go through what I went through. On the other hand, I
respect that everyone needs to make their own decisions and that not
everyone has bad experience with k awakening.
Any ideas?
Thanks much, Patti
