hello all!
my awakening was about 10 months ago, and I am 25
years old. during the past couple of years before, I
had done several intense vipassana meditation courses,
and meditated every day for some time. I also had a
chaotic relationship that broke my identity into
pieces and sent me down into depression. my
'pre-kundalini descent', in other words, all the way
down into the black underworld to find that divine
fire.... in this time I started getting very
interested in earth centered religion, goddess
worship, shamanism. i also started mixing the
vipassana meditation technique with focus on chakras
and practising awareness in channeling sexual energy.
('peeling of the desire from the desire'... in lack of
better words) in addition, I had smoked quite a bit of
marijuana and used hallucinogenics over the last
however many years.
the night of the awakening I tumbled through all kinds
of sensations and visions and sounds, through the
whole night. a couple of days later while I was lying
on the floor in meditation, I felt like a layer of
skin lifted off me, and my spine started moving like a
snake. i sat down in front of my altar, quite
confused, and my whole body started moving. i had no
idea what was going on... i didn't know what kundalini
was, although I had heard of the term. but strangely
enough, I was never scared. just observed, and was
blown away with gratitude over what I knew was a
positive thing. a couple of weeks or so later I was
told about kundalini from a friend who was studying
History of Religion with me. (a few weeks before that,
the same guy had jokingly asked me, while I was
indulging in a cigarette outside the university
building, 'are you trying to smoke down your kundalini
snake?' but i didn't really register it at the time.
funny) and it's been like that ever since - little
parts of the puzzle falling into place one at a time.
wow, long answer to short question... sorry.
blessings to all
Maria
