Kundalini & Chakra Awareness
Kundalini
Kundalini, Sanskrit word meaning "circular power" is
an individuals basic evolutionary force. It is not just a matter of
using what we already have, but of awakening the much greater amount
waiting in the Kundalini reservoir located at the base of the spine.
Little information is available for people who
have not even heard of Kundalini and wonder at the causes of their
physical, mental, or emotional suffering or breakdown. Even those in the
growth and help fields do not have easy access to information for
counseling those who release extra Kundalini before their systems are
ready and experience problems on all levels of life, as if 220 volts of
electrical energy suddenly coursed through their 110-volt units; fuses
blow and circuitry melts.
One reason for the lack of information is that many people, though
knowledgeable, are concerned about the Kundalini powers potential for
harm; they feel nothing should be done with it - no exercises and no
training because of the possibility that this awesome force will turn
destructive.
This attitude is much the same as that of people who say that if you
don't educate children about sex, there wont be any problems.
People whose Kundalini was raised without their knowledge, relating
symptoms of their condition to others, were generally considered crazy
or physically weak; they may even have considered themselves crazy. The
process may entail great confusion and fright beyond the exhilaration
and sense of being uplifted. Symptoms of Early Release Since we are all
individuals with our own history, physical conditions, personal and
spiritual development Kundalini release acts differently
with each of us.
here are some of the symptoms that may indicate an
excessive release of Kundalini before the system is ready:
-
Unexplained illness
-
Erratic behavior
-
A feeling of losing it and difficulty coping with
everyday life
-
Chills or hot flashes
-
Evidence of multiple personalities
-
Excessive mood swings: depression or ecstasy
-
Times of extreme dullness or brilliance
-
Loss or distortion of memory
-
Disorientation with oneself, others, work, or the
world in general
-
Extremes in appearance (a person may fluctuate
between looking
years younger one moment and twenty years older a short
time later)
-
Visual effects: seeing lights or colors,
geometric shapes, scenes
from past lives, or future events
Purpose
Kundalini has its own sense of direction. Its natural flow is up the
spine
and out the top of the head; along that path it brings new awareness,
new
abilities, and transcendental states. Much as a plant reaches toward
light,
the Kundalini pushes us to reach for enlightenment; it removes any
energy
blocks in its way, thus causing symptoms such as those listed above. It
will do it's own thing. We can help or hinder the process.
A fully developed person will have exceptional
paranormal gifts, great spiritual awareness and truly be considered
genius or God-like. Each of us must deal with the Kundalini sooner
or later. The more knowledgeable and ready we are the more wonderful the
experience will be.
Chakras
Chakras are vortices through which energy flows both
in and out of the body. When developed, they rotate like a turning
wheel. Most literature on chakras discuss seven main chakras, but we
actually have hundreds located all over the body. Each acupressure and
acupuncture point is an energy vortex and therefore a chakra. The
energy which powers these vortices comes from a number of sources, one
being our own Kundalini or evolutionary energy. another being the
spiritual force within us. These energies come from inside the body and
flow out the chakras.
The chakras also receive. We may receive energy from
other people, whether gently and imperceptibly or very aware of pulling
it from them. When our energy is being pulled by others, we may feel
very sapped or "snagged" in a particular chakra. Being sent energy we
may feel bombarded. Spiritual energy, prana and other energies all
around us (we live in an ocean of energy) , may also flow in through in
through the chakra centers.
People less developed in their evolutionary growth
tend to bring in much more energy than they give out. In awareness or
illness people may pull in energy from more vitalized or developed
people. Those who feel weak, depleted or have a low self image may
be very strongly affected by others' energies, actually drawing on
others, in which case they re called sappers or vampires. This name is
unfair in some instances because the act of pulling energy from others
may make the difference in healing and getting enough strength to go
ahead. It's a wonderful thing to be able to give energy to those who
need it.
Giving is part of our practice of visiting ill or
depressed friends. Giving strengthens us, when energy is pulled or
sucked from us we can be weakened, . There are people who habitually
suck energy from others rather than develop their own. These may truly
be called sappers or vampires.
People who are not very developed spiritually may may
be opened to negative forces. Negative energy will come into their
chakras causing them to feel even worse than they do or act in even more
negative ways. A depressed person tends to put energies
coming through the chakras on a depressed level, which only compounds
problems. Evolved people have more energy flowing out of their chakras
than in. Their chakras look like flowers in bloom. As they become more
highly developed, the Kundalini energy radiating from their chakras
blends with divine energy and continues to radiate out.
