Kundalini in Toes

During the first stage of exercises this morning, none of the advanced yogis were present but there was an instructive energy left behind from the presence of Rishi Singh Gherwal. That energy was activated and read a message explaining that I was to get kundalini to go into the finger tips and the toe tips such that all the nadis which reached to those places were electrified with fresh subtle energy from the breath infusion practice.

If Rishi was there in person, he would have said this, “The kundalini shakti should be used to infest all the nadis with fresh energy before the yogi sits to meditate. If this is not done, then the energy of kundalini will be used inefficiently in those parts of the subtle body which are not infused with the energy. The result of that is that kundalini may rise into the head but due to dark energy in other parts of the subtle body, the yogi will be restricted in where he can go and how he can perform in the higher dimensions in the subtle world.

“Mahayogin Gorakshnath gave the process of hatha yoga for the purpose of a complete energization of the subtle body, for the re-conditioning of all parts of it, not just the head. In your physical body, suppose there is a poisoned chemical in all parts of it except the spine and head, then what will be the result of that? Consider this also in terms of the subtle body.

“Even though the subtle body is junked by an advanced yogi who completes what is required, that body has to be purified first before the yogi can get rid of it. No one can become liberated with an impure subtle body.”

During the exercises I followed this instruction and was able to bring kundalini to the tips of the fingers and tips of the toes. When this happens there is no sensation of kundalini rising into the brain. When kundalini goes into the fingers, there is a sensation of it rising under the arm pits and then shooting to the finger tips. This feels like needle cramps under the arm pits and into the arms and finger tips but this feeling has a bliss aspect to it. The same feeling is felt when kundalini reaches the toe tips with needles cramps in the calves and ankles. On may be inspired to stretch out the arms or to wiggle them during the infusements.

I was disturbed by two persons during the exercises. One was a person who was a monk but who is disgraced and lost his religious authority and status. The other was a person who was his assistant when he served as a monk. Both of these persons are politically inclined and so their religious affiliation was saturated with political control concerns.

Dealing with such persons in the astral world is more or less a set-back for a yogi but somehow, by the force of providence, one is sometimes forced to relate to such people and one has to patiently bear with their spiritually anti-social view points.

In the middle of the exercise session, Srila Yogeshwarananda appeared but not in a miniature form which is usually used by yogis to enter the psyche of a student. He appeared just as an invisible presence. He said this, “Try to denounce those yogis who say that a person can advance spiritually by decreasing the number of breaths, by slowing down the breathing during meditation. These are dishonest yogis who state this.

“Bears and other creatures also have decreased breaths during the winter months when they hibernate but it does not increase their spiritual perception. In fact what is their spiritual perception? The correct way to regard decreases of breaths for a yogi, is to consider that if you infuse the subtle body with sufficient energy then due to that influx of subtle energy, the subtle system will not need to use fresh air for a time. During that time, there will be a decrease in the breathing rate. Thus if one meditates just after infusing the body, then yes there will be a slowdown of breathing rate and that is different to when a person does not infuse breath and experiences a decrease in the rate.

“First they should infuse the air and then meditate. Do Pranayama as the 4th stage of yoga and then do the other four states which concern introspection immediately after. That was the definition given by Patanjali. That is classic yoga.

“For a beginner the 5th stage which is pratyahar sensual energy withdrawal will take up all his meditation time, but for an advanced person, that stage may be perfected in a second during the meditation session, and he or she can proceed with the other three advanced stages which Patanjali has named collectively as samyama, the complete restraint of the mento-emotional energy.”
