Guest guest Report post Posted March 9, 1999 Last night while meditating with the help of a CD called "Chakra Meditation", I experienced some very pleasurable tingling sensations that seemed to go from my root chakra to my sacral chakra through the front half of my body. I did not feel anything particularly along the spine. Does anyone know what these were or has anyone had any similar experiences. What can I do to extend these sensations? I was lying down on the floor, legs crossed and my hands grounded into my sacral charka. I was attempting to open my root chakra by drawing energy from my crown to me root chakra. Then these sensation occurred, originating at me root chakra and "tingling" up to the sacral chakra. Thanks, Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted March 9, 1999 > "Zack Kaplan" <zkaplan > > stevewhere did you get that cd? And from me.......what music does everyone use to work with while doing kyoga? or meditating? or do you use it at all? I have a few favourites....the Kim Robertson series....and the chakra music that Chip Davis of Mannheim Steamroller put out on his CD "7". It is part of the Fresh Aire series, I think. I have most of their music as I love it so. Susan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted March 11, 1999 Hi Steve Sat Nam and welcome to Kundaliniyoga. I don't think anyone has responded to your original questions yet, so I've reposted them here in the hope that someone will second time around. Perhaps it would help if you gave us more background - I take it you are practicing KY - how long have you been doing this for, do you have a teacher or are you doing it on your own, and if so what are you using for guidance?

Guest guest Report post Posted March 11, 1999 Thanks for the interest gordon. As far as back ground, my real basis for meditation has been the martial arts (around 8 years). I am actually practicing chi gung, howvever the Yoga meditations are so similar to what I am doing in chi gung, that I have incorporated both style in my practice. Recently I began making real progress and have been practising various meditations about twice a day. I have felt energy flow in my hands, several pulsating chakras and now the latest sensations that were the subject of my note. ---------------------- Forwarded by Steve E.

I did not feel anything particularly along the spine. Does anyone know what these were or has anyone had any similar experiences. What can I do to extend these sensations? Steve and all, Such experiences are do happen for people who meditate, practice yoga, or practice spiritual healing, especially if they are trying to do so while earthed (grounded) - and I (who am not naturally very well earthed and have had to work at it a great deal) feel that grounding is *very* important on any spiritual path. In fact, when I experienced kundalini rising, my main problem was to ground all of that energy instead of letting it zing around in my system gathering static and confusion. Yes, I think I've experienced what you are describing. As I said before, I'm not an expert on yoga, but my experience with meditation and healing is that it is very important *not* to cling to any particular sensations. Teachers on most spiritual paths seem to advise us that all of these energy sensations are just part of a process, markers perhaps, and that clinging to the pleasant ones or rejecting/denying the unpleasant ones blocks our progress. Sensations such as these come and go. They may happen only once, as the energy path opens wider. They may happen repeatedly when a part of the energy path needs extensive opening, clearing and strengthening. The important thing is to note and release the sensations, if we want to follow the path. If it is appropriate, they will repeat themselves, and if it isn't, it really slows us down to try to stay at that point in our growth. Otherwise, we are like someone who set out to climb a mountain, reached a place part way up, and stopped there because the view was so beautiful - not realizing that the view from there is very limited compared to the view from and experience of the peak. The sensations are like that - there are better ones ahead. And it is important not to get stuck on *those* either. Isn't it part of the kundalini process, yoga and all, to transform psyche and body to where we are able to experience more energy and strength in every aspect of our lives? To me, some of the important questions would be: Has this energetic experience changed you in any way? Do you feel more balanced? Less balanced? Has your 'center of gravity' settled more toward the sacral and root chakras since the experience? Do you feel more or less earthed? Does your personal energy field feel more or less clear? In other words, what effect has it had on you? And then, what can you do to balance this energy, make certain it is grounded and flowing, and integrate it into your life? How can you use this in your daily life to be more authentically your true self? Sorry my response to this has been so slow, but I've been away from the computer for a while. It's snowing out this morning in the "sunny" Southern California mountains and it seems a good time to catch up on email. Jesa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted March 11, 1999 Thanks for the input Jesa. You have some good questions! Yes there have been changes in my life as I have gotten more and more into my meditation. Specifically, I am requiring much less sleep than before. I have a much more steady energy level, a much higher energy level, sharper metal focus, better physical and mental endurance. Addionally, my gastro-intestinal system has been working much better that before (although I did not think there was anything wrong with it before), my athlete's foot (nasty) has gone into remission, etc., etc. The other day, in fact, I went to see my chiroprator (who is also my martial arts instructor) who practises Applied Kinesiology and he could not find one thing wrong with me. Hows that for a yes! One interesting parallel that I can draw is the timeing of my experiences in meditaion. I have been meditating for quite a while (with no where near the commintment I have now) with very few results. Something that i think helped get me on the right track was when I took up free diving (breath hold diving). In this endevor you train to go as deep as you can for as long as you can. As you can imagine, this means proper breathing, relaxation and being in tune with your body. Sound familiar. Thanks for the advice, its right on point with my research.
