Round and round she goes...<BR/><BR/>I've tried to awaken the kumdalini with a forceful technique and only felt a mediumish uncoiling of something at the base of my spine. But I always seem to feel much energy in the Heart, Throat, Third Eye, and Crown chakras through Tai Chi and Yoga and meditation, even running. Much pranayamma breathing, some different breath work also with holding and exhaling the breath that I picked up from several different sources.<BR/><BR/>That's my story. Any new ideas besides chakra control?<BR/><BR/>Think I'll try to move the energy from the Heart down to the Solar Plexus, see what that does.Adrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13555007386699641725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336380116614011842.post-31793468372621344432008-05-01T15:41:00.000+02:002008-05-01T15:41:00.000+02:00Hey adrian, experiment if your problem isn't a lim...Hey adrian, experiment if your problem isn't a limited belief and see what happens when you approach it with a more positive attitude.<BR/>Otherwise I don't know how you initiate 'em, try using visualisation, mantras, breathing, mudras, etc to help you in achieving what you want.<BR/><BR/>I also would suggest everyone to check out the earlier article on shutting down chakras and tuning into the solar plexus-heart chakra area combo seeing how that affects you. I'd love to hear some results. I'll be trying it more myself for a trial run.Dedroidifyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099287776750072366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336380116614011842.post-43278552355732008082008-05-01T15:26:00.000+02:002008-05-01T15:26:00.000+02:00I've found it hard to initiate the lower chakras u...I've found it hard to initiate the lower chakras unless I am doing Yoga, and even then I have some trouble. But I have found that I can kick start the upper chakras through meditation alone.<BR/><BR/>I have no idea if this is strange or not.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the article.

Especially going to the third eye and crown chakra directly.<BR/><BR/>I now call it meditating with a crowbar in mind. It turned into a heavy pressure in the third eye, shifting to crown, back and forth but never releasing. Awful vice grip like of a burden.<BR/><BR/>I was cast into some pretty hellish states. I thought I had died right then and there. I was in pure anguish for a couple of days and it took me a month to get back to what I would call normal state of everyday life.<BR/><BR/>I was hallucinating heavily. I was worried that I might have nudged the moon off its orbit. The world was falling apart. My ego was taking my mind and running paranoid with it as it best can. I felt cosmically naked in a huge intergalactic Truman show.<BR/><BR/>In TV there was a program where Ewan McGregor was riding in Siberia with a motorcycle. I'm thankful for Obi Wan-Kenobi, who talked me down through television and kept me going where otherwise I might have felt giving up. Phew!<BR/><BR/>I did get awful lot of good from the experience, too. I could see all people who came by in the town as huge pillars of being rising from nightly depths to shining brightness above. I was walking for days completely amazed how different people looked like with new respect for each and every one that came by.<BR/><BR/>...<BR/><BR/>Now I take warnings about pacing the practice and valuing a teacher wholeheartedly. I really was just impatient. And, when I insisted on pressing on, I was still granted what I asked for. Then I was unable to just let it show, because I wasn't ready for it. I was unable to let go of the forcing that I had started and therefore I was really suffering for it.<BR/><BR/>Now I see how I was quite foolish, really. :)<BR/><BR/>It was rough, but it could have been a whole lot worse. I am just thankful for the lesson I got. May it serve as an example for others, too.<BR/><BR/> - jjAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
