Introductions everyone?

February 13, 2009

It can be most difficult to find a community where sharing the

phenomena of the Kundalini is an accepted activity. This is one such

community. Kundalini phenomena in its most grand and tactile stages of

activity upon the body often follow very specific signatures. Kriyas

and Ajna pulsations from the inside out and chirpings and buzzings or

humming sounds and all of the many phenomena of the Kundalini can be

openly discussed here.

It is a vast universe of transformation and there are many steps to

the Kundalini awakening process. So welcome to new members and a fond

hello! to our current members. We are here to help eachother. We are

here to experience and to walk the " Great path " together. Let us get

to know eachother that we can indeed step side by side with trusted

friends! - Please everyone introduce yourselves and let us know where

you are in your search and or your expression of the Kundalini

journey. I will start.......

My name is chrism ....... I am another person like you, a

consciousness clothed in flesh... I do not claim knowledge of the

writings or activities of any ancient lineage or sacred text. I do

claim the information received as is gifted to me by the expanded

awareness of the Kundalini........

I'm a person without social portfolio. I live in a trailer, in the

USA, and work amongst the masses....... I teach the Kundalini and

activate those who clearly are ready. I radiate Kundalini and it

radiates through me. And as it moves through me it will move through

you as well..... So what I write is merely another opinion on your

path. The opinion of a friend and a brother. Another traveler up the

mountain.....

What I write comes from my own experience and what I am able to

perceive via the Kundalini. Over 19 years of experience with a

guidance to teach for those who are guided to receive. I am not the

" only " teacher. There are others who teach this and so it is a point

of discernment for you if what is given by and through me for you

feels appropriate. Intuition will guide you.

I come from a place of disciplined love and disciplined intention. I

know that may sound hard, but its quite easy and very flexing within

the parameters of forgiveness, helpfulness, kindness, tolerance

understanding, trust, surrender, service to others, evolution and of

course, love. - `Nice to meet everyone! -

February 13, 2009

Hello everyone, My name is Mike. I am from New Jersey. I have been very interested in eastern philosophy ever since I got introduced to it by Alan Watts about a year ago. My first spiritual experience, and I before this I though the

whole spiritual realm is nonsense, was an astral projection. Everything changed after that. I started researching about buddhism/taoism/hinduism, practicing meditation. Six months ago I started doing yoga (astanga) about twice a week, nothing too intense, not with a lot of intention. Then I started noticing very interesting changes with myself such as being more happy, less worried about ego-formulated problems, etc etc. So about three monhs ago, I stumbled upon kundalini, first as Kundalini yoga DVD, which I practiced for about a week, and then i found this awesome community!. So right now my practice routine is like this (in order from beggining to end): 5 Tibetans, Astanga Yoga (postures), Alternate Nose Breathing, Mediation.. The whole practice is about 1.5 Hours but I am progressing further and futher with yoga postures. I have notices that I am starting to become very happy/blissful everyday, less and less things bother me, the sounds and images or the world are becoming like a musical/visual/emotional orchestra. I do plan for the future, but I am beggining to draw and understand the line between planning and worrying for the future. This line did not exist for me in the past. I am beggining to catch myself on angry/sad/negative/etc thoughts, and right away move my awareness to the breath. I guess when you start to go into Kundalini, one piece of advise I can suggest, that I tested and use myself, is learn how to be aware of your thoughts and if there is anger/sadness/negativity in the thought right away move the concentration to the breath. Do not " ride " with this thought. This is what it means to be when explained to " balance your emotions " . I am also slowly moving to be a vegan, since I am begging to feel very sorry how animals gets treated. I will be honest with you, I practice everything in the safeties except prayer. I still do not " feel " like there is anything that is needed to be prayed to, because for me, and im not trying to be rude, praying is like selling myself a watch I just stole from my pocket. This is why I have not participated in the shaktipat yet, because I cannot declare honestly that I am practicing 100% of the safeties. Everything else I understand and agree with, but I have to explore a little more deeper and maybe praying will also come into my understanding.

thank you so much for all your answers to my crazy emails. I really appreciate it. It helped me through some emotional earthquake times. I would also like to thank everyone in this wonderful little community. Even thought I dont response too much I do read and enjoy reading a lot of the emails.

Thank youWith love,Mike

Hello Mike, I may be able to help you with the prayer struggle. There

is lots more to prayer than asking for things, although that is the

most common one. There are many types of prayer and if you are doing

the safeties then you have been doing some of these types of prayer

unawares, maybe.

Here is a list of the types of prayer: If the word God bothers you

you can replace it with the word Shakti kundalini, higher self or

whatever feels more comfortable to you. Prayer is the practice of the

presence of God.

Petition - asking God to supply your daily bread/needs.

Confession - admitting your wrong doings to God and others and asking

forgiveness.

Adoration - giving praise and adoration to God for all his blessings

in life even the things you may not feel at the time to be a

blessing.

Intercession - a prayer offered on the behalf of others.

Meditation - being silent and opening your heart and soul to God's

direction, love, and admonition.

Thankgiving - simply giving thanks to God for all things. Practice

being/staying in a state of gratitude.

Consecration - a prayer of surrendering your will completely to God's

will and service.

If you would like to read more indept on these and get a better

understanding of the types of prayer than this short little

paraphrasing I did, this article is were I got them from.

Blessings,

Linda

P.S. I hope this will help you feel able to participated in the

shaktipat. The prayer of petition is not one that is required, if

that is what is holding you back. But do read what the article has to

say about the prayer of petition, it might help change your mind

about it even.

I am not new here but I was thinking that if people are not sure what

to post then perhaps just post a few lines on how you discovered you

discovered Kundalini or how you were activated.

My story is that I went to Italy in June 2006 i stayed on family land

that has been in my family for over 400 recorded years. I have

cousins who still live there. it is not an estate it is a plot in a

small town where a new house has been built while the old outbuildings

remain.

My life changed after that visit although I did not find out it was K

until the following summer when I returned to Europe. I met up with a

friend who was attending tantra sessions with her husband. Tantra was

always an interest of mine so I looked on the net when I returned. To

my amazement I was led to chrism and this group- I had never heard of

Kundalini. Yet I knew that Tantra was not what I needed it was a

guide of Kundalini and I found my path. I had never followed any kind

of spiritual path after being raised Catholic. So this introduction

to an Eastern traditional idea was very foreign to me.

However, I am so grateful that I found chrism and this group. My life

has been turned upside down and still is not settled yet I have had

guidance and support - and I have met so many interesting,

intelligent, loving, kind seekers who I feel are part of my family -

my K family and I am eternally grateful and blessed.

Welcome to all new members. You are here for a reason: taste and

savor and fill the void you may feel with the energy that is offered

here from all the members.

You are not alone any more you have family you have a wealth of

answers at the click of a mouse- your journey now can be filled with

joy not despair and aloneness. How fortunate we are to be here together.

Namaste

Linda, I appreciate the effort, but for me, there is nothing that is not God. So howcan something that doesnt exist pray to something that exists. From everysingle atom to galaxies and to multiverse, it is all God. And we are God, so

why pray to ourselves? I respect everyone else's belief, but this is my " state of mind " right now.On Sat, Feb 14, 2009 at 1:19 AM, Linda <crazycats711 wrote:

I was sort of think thinking that was the way you were most likely

believing. I believe this way as well, but I believe there is an I,

the little i, that is in this space/time frame who is an individual

separated with limits from the whole. Also, that this is really all

an illusion that we are playing out as a learning experience and we

are given tools to work with. I see prayer as a tool, a way for the

little i to feel/sense a connection with the whole which is the big

I/God. I, the little i, knows with head knowledge that i am always

connected and there is no separation, but i don't always 'experience'

that connection every second of the day. Prayer helps me to connect

with the big I/God and know it is real by experiencing.

If you are experiencing a connection to the whole at all times, then

of course you would not need prayer. But then why would you need to

participate in shatipat, if you are already experiencing that oneness

at all times. Wouldn't experiencing the oneness at all times mean you

are already enlightened and have no needs? Is there another reason

for kundalini awakening that i do not know of?

Dear Chrism

Thank you for all the time, help and compassion you are giving us in the group. I have been a member of this group for quite sometime but for a long time have not participated actively in posting messages although I am following and reading messages posted. I searched for other groups to join and learn with like Reiki, Sokaisi, EFT, Quantum Touch, Theta Healing groups to name a few. I did learn something from all of them and had contributed to the changes that I had in my life. The teachings of Abraham Hicks wHich in my opinion is in aggrement with the SAFETIES which had become my life now. I practice the FIVE TIBETAN RITES and do meditate in preparation to this SHAKTIPAT. If there are other pre-requisites that I needed to do to be well prepared for this SHAKTIPAT please let me know. Love and blessings to all.

L & L,

Ricardo

It can be most difficult to find a community where sharing thephenomena of the Kundalini is an accepted activity. This is one suchcommunity. Kundalini phenomena in its most grand and tactile stages ofactivity upon the body often follow very specific signatures. Kriyas

and Ajna pulsations from the inside out and chirpings and buzzings orhumming sounds and all of the many phenomena of the Kundalini can beopenly discussed here. It is a vast universe of transformation and there are many steps to

the Kundalini awakening process. So welcome to new members and a fondhello! to our current members. We are here to help eachother. We arehere to experience and to walk the " Great path " together. Let us get

to know eachother that we can indeed step side by side with trustedfriends! - Please everyone introduce yourselves and let us know whereyou are in your search and or your expression of the Kundalinijourney. I will start.......

My name is chrism ....... I am another person like you, aconsciousness clothed in flesh... I do not claim knowledge of thewritings or activities of any ancient lineage or sacred text. I doclaim the information received as is gifted to me by the expanded

awareness of the Kundalini........ I'm a person without social portfolio. I live in a trailer, in theUSA, and work amongst the masses....... I teach the Kundalini andactivate those who clearly are ready. I radiate Kundalini and it

radiates through me. And as it moves through me it will move throughyou as well..... So what I write is merely another opinion on yourpath. The opinion of a friend and a brother. Another traveler up themountain.....

What I write comes from my own experience and what I am able toperceive via the Kundalini. Over 19 years of experience with aguidance to teach for those who are guided to receive. I am not the " only " teacher. There are others who teach this and so it is a point

of discernment for you if what is given by and through me for youfeels appropriate. Intuition will guide you. I come from a place of disciplined love and disciplined intention. Iknow that may sound hard, but its quite easy and very flexing within

the parameters of forgiveness, helpfulness, kindness, toleranceunderstanding, trust, surrender, service to others, evolution and ofcourse, love. - `Nice to meet everyone! -

Linda, I appreciate the effort, but for me, there is nothing that is not God. So howcan something that doesnt exist pray to something that exists. From everysingle atom to galaxies and to multiverse, it is all God. And we are God, so

why pray to ourselves? I respect everyone else's belief, but this is my "state of mind" right now.On Sat, Feb 14, 2009 at 1:19 AM, Linda <crazycats711@ > wrote:

Hello Mike, I may be able to help you with the prayer struggle. There

is lots more to prayer than asking for things, although that is the

most common one. There are many types of prayer and if you are doing

the safeties then you have been doing some of these types of prayer

unawares, maybe.

Here is a list of the types of prayer: If the word God bothers you

you can replace it with the word Shakti kundalini, higher self or

whatever feels more comfortable to you. Prayer is the practice of the

presence of God.

Petition - asking God to supply your daily bread/needs.

Confession - admitting your wrong doings to God and others and asking

forgiveness.

Adoration - giving praise and adoration to God for all his blessings

in life even the things you may not feel at the time to be a

blessing.

Intercession - a prayer offered on the behalf of others.

Meditation - being silent and opening your heart and soul to God's

direction, love, and admonition.

Thankgiving - simply giving thanks to God for all things. Practice

being/staying in a state of gratitude.

Consecration - a prayer of surrendering your will completely to God's

will and service.

If you would like to read more indept on these and get a better

understanding of the types of prayer than this short little

paraphrasing I did, this article is were I got them from.

Blessings,

Linda

P.S. I hope this will help you feel able to participated in the

shaktipat. The prayer of petition is not one that is required, if

that is what is holding you back. But do read what the article has to

say about the prayer of petition, it might help change your mind

about it even.

>>participate in shatipat, if you are already experiencing that oneness

>>at all times. Wouldn't experiencing the oneness at all times mean you

>>are already enlightened and have no needs? Is there another reason

>>for kundalini awakening that i do not know of?

When did I say I am experiencce a connection to the whole at all times?I said my belief is that we are all God. Through yoga, I am feeling moreand more like everything is one, since yoga removes the boundary

from internal to external. Again I have been practicing yoga for only like 6 months,I am not even close to the start of the " wholeness " experience.The things I try and keep practicing are things that I must sort of " understand "

in an experience sort of way. If something that Buddha, Jesus, Krishna or Chrismsays I try and it doesn't make " sense " (not in an analytical way) I will not do it.That is where prayer is with me right now. I see no reason to pray to yourself.

You know that is why i like eastern " paths " as opposed to western religions. In mosteastern " paths " you are told to look inside ourselves while in western religions you worshipsomething that is outside, higher, and more powerful that you.

Shaktipat, for me, and this is my person opinion, is to get deeper and deeper into yourself. Kundalini is, for me, is find something that is deep in yourselfalready. Because Kundalini is YOU already. It is not a separate object, because separate objects don't exists. And how can you even believe that it is a separate object if it resides at the

base of the spine of you. Anyway, as we dive more deeply into these topics the symbols we use to represent reality (laugauge) break down and we get caught up on catching others using incorrect symbols or using symbols for which the two

different people have two different meanings for. So I cannot breakdown to youusing the symbols system for why, at this moment, I " feel " I dont need to pray,but what matters is that " feel " .
