Om Bolo Sat Guru Yogi Madhvacharya Maharaja Ki--JAI
Kundalini Mata Shakti Namo Namo
========================
Practice this morning was in a neutral location away from my house where the air and energy is very crisp and clear and there’s no cat at my feet.
One mild manageable kundalini rise during initial exercises.
Later on in mid practice I experienced 2 major rises, once again, at the end of Surya Namaskar, the 12 posture Sivananda sun salutation.
The second of the two rises forced me down onto my back. I tried to stay objective as possible. As my body twitched, the interior of my consciousness or mind space was twitching too. Naad sound was super loud especially as the kundalini first comes up. Naad volume at that time is one thing that tips me off as to whether I will be able to remain standing.
Visual swirls of energy in subtle vision. My skin became so sensitive that I was hyper aware of some of my hair lying across my face as I laid on my back. I could feel the energetic weight of every strand and how it felt on my face interacting with my skin without anything moving, everything was still but active at the same time.
I thought I was finished practicing but noticed some residual stagnant energy in the upper body just as I was sitting to meditate, so I did a couple more forms and then felt urged to do one last sun salute. I don’t know why I wasn’t expecting another kundalini rise, but it happened at the end and once again took me down to the floor fast where I had the body and mind space twitches. This time there was no visual swirls in my vision, instead it was as if I was out of body in a vast dark black space, fully conscious and looking around. It felt good but just super cosmically large and black.
There were sensations of super pleasurable energy filling the nadis of my face and head.
I noticed, and this has happened many times before, when I came to normal physical consciousness that my knees are pulled up toward my chest, hands on knees and im doing breath infusion without having been aware that when kundalini rose, I resumed it.
========================
Just so the reader knows, I’m not a kundalini junkie. I don’t chase the kundalini experience to get blissed out. In fact even though there certainly is a bliss factor, it still scares me. I remain at the beginning stages of this powerful practice Michael continues teaching us. But to perform the postures and breathing that I’ve found to work in raising kundalini, I have to ready myself for them, sort of give myself an internal pep talk, like a coach sending a boxer into the ring. I feel some attentive yogis encouraging me along as well.
This kundalini practice is imperative toward my liberation, just like the fight is necessary for the boxer to win the big belt. Since I really want out of this mode of existence once and for all, I’ll be pursuing it as long as I have a body to deal with, embracing the fear along the way.
Here’s a little Tibetan saying from a book of healing I fall back on when needed, it goes something like this:
“Whatever you do, do not shut off your pain; accept your pain and remain vulnerable. However desperate you become, accept your pain as it is, because it is in fact trying to hand you a priceless gift-the chance of discovering, through spiritual practice, what lies behind sorrow.”
========================
Meditation was good. It was very dark and quiet where I was, so naad sound was free to explore the space of my head, body and psyche. I’m grateful for the focus Michael puts on naad sound, adhering to it has made all the difference in rescuing my core self from being transfixed and bullied into being involved in thinking about this and that during meditation. All at once I realize naad is there to save me and off we go…
