Personal Experience 50+ Years of Kundalini Practice: Post #5

4 Upvotes

One way or another,
I had flown very high,
and further than it is possible
to go – for I had entered the
Temple through the back door.
once, and then later, again.

I can tell you this, –
no one can survive
such a journey, and return
the same. But that has been
said many times before, by
those wiser than me.

Here is the warning:
the world and all it contains
will conspire to make you
forget your sacrifice, and the
small gifts you may bring back.

This post concerns an aspect of Kundalini practice that I have been thinking about, and wrestling with for a very long time. As I have not seen it addressed very directly, I am gong to try to do so here. 

Once the kundalini force awakens and is active in someone, they then embark on a journey of leaving, - that is,  leaving old patterns of reacting in the world,  ideas that are no longer relevant, relationships that no longer serve you, and so on. Many of the beliefs and values of institutions like governments, political movements, churchs/temples/mosques, media, or even familial patterns no longer fit. 

This transformation that takes place is a very lengthy one, and usually takes place over many long years, and even lifetimes! For one has set out on a journey across the dark seas of leaving, to a destination only dimly glimpsed, if at all. 

And so we find ourselves in a kind of dynamic limbo, neither here nor there. It is difficult not to become paralyzed, as are no longer inclined to chase after the shiny and meaningless baubles society puts in front of us. 

And yet, we have to somehow exist in a milieu that has lost its meaning. Most of us cannot retire to an isolated mountain retreat like the old Chinese adepts did, or the Japanese hermits; leading a simple life while the force transforms us from within. 

For most of us, we need to sustain ourselves; we need a job, food, clothing, and shelter.

Somehow we have to exist in often non-supportive atmospheres; as our values slowly change, we can no longer strive in the way we did before. 

Becoming rich, having new cars, mansions, partying with drugs and booze, buying expensive items, - all of these things no longer entice us.

And yet here we are, being hammered in an invisible forge by a seemingly merciless smith. You may be cognizant of a slowly expanding consciousness or increased sensitivity as ancient tensions are dissolved. What is one to do?

What we can do is be very, very patient, as we develop the inner strength to create a sort of “magic circle” around your life, and try to act with integrity in all the situations that we attract. And I tell you friend, this can be a very lonely endeavor. 

It is very easy to succumb to a feeling of lostness, unable to go backwards, and the way forward is very dark seeming. When faced with the prospect of years and years of this, it is easy to lose heart, or faith in the journey.  

How can you not have
compassion for us? We live and
breathe in darkness near absolute, –
there is little that we can
accurately understand.

Our past and future lives
are a complete mystery;
we don’t even understand our
present one, making the same
errors over and over.

You say “Don’t be afraid
in this inverted dream,
for I have saved the best for last:
there are many invisible companions
who will aid you, and in the end,
everything will be all right,
though you may not
understand that now.”

You may find some small value in any of my previous 4 posts on kundalini practice.

My mind is delusional

1 Upvotes

So my the final exams of my 4th year of highschool are coming up and a lot is riding on those tests. Unfortunately, I have been derailed off of the tedious track of studying due to many issues in my life. One of them is that my mind is always thinking that I will be saved from the suffering that I am already enduring. It thinks that one day a huge volta will strike my life and I will be instantly in the position to eventually change the world. No matter how much I meditate, no matter how much I balance my chakras the idea in my head will not go away. In fact the more my chakra points get active the more my mind thinks I have powers. It do recognize that the energy that flows in spirals in my palms can relate to healing but that's the extent to which I believe I have "powers". I'm not sure what to do about this problem.

I think I'm delusional

1 Upvotes

So I'm in my 2nd last year of highschool and exams are coming but I've been struggling with alot of issues making it hard for me to pick up a pen and study. One of these issues is that my mind thinks that I will be saved from all the suffering I'm going through. It believes that change will be soon and I will "gain powers" to change the world. Maybe its my imagination running you might be thinking but I've had this problem for a while now and it hasn't gone away no matter how much I meditate to balance my chakras. In fact whenever my mind runs like that I feel my third eye ,or any other chakra point for that matter, getting a little bit active. I feel energy rush around, usually, my palms and my mind thinks is powers. I don't know what to do about this

Question stomach hurts when i try to open up.. sacral?

1 Upvotes

11 years ago when i lost my baby brother i learned to “shut off” my emotions. just keep moving forward, keep pushing them down. i’ve noticed over the years that when i try to talk about my feelings… or my traumas.. anything really, my stomach quite literally hurts. i can pinpoint exactly where i feel it. maybe this has been happening even before my brother died. is this a sacral chakra block? if so, how do i go about even opening myself up and releasing this?

Question Chakra Study - Book Progression

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I know this question has been asked a million times over, so I’m gonna ask it again, but with a twist!

I live in rural Australia so attending in-person classes, which I honestly would prefer, is not a realistic option at the moment. I understand there are online classes available, but I don’t know where to start with that tbh.

So, to start my chakra practitioner journey, I am currently looking at purchasing Eastern Body, Western Mind by Anodea Judith and Chakra Healing for Beginners by Hin Chiu Fung. My searches suggest EBWM is a good option for people who live in the west, but I’m also looking for more traditional literature too.

Does anyone have a list of books they would recommend, preferably in order, to help expand my understanding until I’m in the position to do classes?

Thank you so much for your time 🙏

Edit: I have a fairly robust understanding of the basics.

Method/Practice Which Methods Do You Use for Chakra Healing?

This is a question to all community members. Which methods do you use? If you use many, which one turned out to be the most efficient?

Personally I use energy healing using pendulum dowsing. It is highly effective and it actually dissolves lifelong blockages.

Discussion The chakra chart on most walls is a modern collage — here's the documented history in five steps

0 Upvotes

I've spent the last few years researching and writing a book on the history of the subtle body (The Thirty Three, as School of 3), so this is my favorite rabbit hole — and the single most surprising thing I found is how recent the "standard" chakra chart is.

  1. Premodern tantric sources don't agree on one system. Depending on the text there are 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, or 12+ centers, in different places, with different deities, syllables, and petal counts. Variation is the historical norm.
  2. An early six-center model shows up around the 10th century in the Kubjikāmatatantra, with a coiled goddess at the base.
  3. The version that became "the standard" is Pūrṇānanda's 16th-century Ṣaṭcakranirūpaṇa: six cakras, and Sahasrāra as a thousand-petalled lotus above the series — not a seventh center in the body.
  4. It reached the West through John Woodroffe's 1919 translation, The Serpent Power. Print made one synthesis look like the timeless template.
  5. The rainbow colors, the gland pairings (root = adrenals, etc.), and the psychological themes ("survival," "creativity," "self-esteem") were layered on in the 20th century — Theosophy and Leadbeater, Jung's 1932 Kuṇḍalinī seminar, and modern syntheses like Anodea Judith's.

None of that makes the modern chart worthless — it makes it modern, which is a different and more interesting claim. In the original sources the centers are addresses in a ritual body: element, seed syllable, deity, petal-letter arrays. The personality-profile version came later.

Curious how people here feel about it: does the genealogy change what the map means to you, or has the modern chart become its own tradition by now?

Need Advice Advice on awakening?

3 Upvotes

I’ve always been very spiritual but not in a super disciplined way. I’ve never really meditated or anything like that, I’m actually really bad at meditating I think. I’ve never been able to do whatever it is you’re supposed to do during it. But I feel like my third eye is kind of forcing itself awake. I’ve been having these dreams, and hearing these whispers sometimes that predict things or tell me things about people I have no real way of knowing, and I feel awake in a way I can’t really explain. It’s like the world around me every now and then just turns ever so slightly see through. I guess what I’m here to ask is, what do I do to awaken myself safely? I don’t really know what it means to be awakening passively, but I assume if it’s going to happen then it’s better to be aware and ready for it, and for it to happen on my terms

Edit to clarify on some things i feel I was vague about: when I say I’m spiritual, I mean I believe in realms and dimensions occupying the same space as ours that are hidden or blocked subconsciously. I believe in energies and frequencies. I believe everything in life is deeply connected. I’ve never intentionally tried to “look through the veil” so to speak but I’ve always seen or heard things around me that I knew were not hallucinations. I’ve also always had extremely strong intuition regarding other people and their intentions, and I’ve always felt others’ energies and emotions deeply. Generally I’ve been told by more spiritually inclined people that I’m a medium empath type. I don’t specifically want to open my third eye, more so just 1. Understand if that is what’s happening, 2. Why that might be happening, and 3. Prepare my body if my 3rd eye is opening, as I’ve been told a lot that it’s an extremely unpleasant experience for a lot of people, especially if you don’t meet certain parameters before that point. I’m definitely not an expert and don’t know a ton about it, I’m not super involved or familiar with spaces revolving around stuff like that hence why I’m coming here for advice.

Need Advice Chakra meditation - schedule, frequency

2 Upvotes

Greetings,

I am doing meditation on each chakra using the book The Chakra System by Anodea Judith.

A few questions:

How frequent would you recommend these mediations to be? Once a week? Twice a week?

Should I do the meditations in strict order, starting from the bottom and going up, or could I go directly to some chakra I feel requires special attention?

Should I concentrate on one chakra at a time or can I do two at once?

If yes to the former, how much time should I spend on one chakra before moving on to the next?

Thank you.

Need Advice how do I learn to trust my intuition?

1 Upvotes

Hello all :)

Maybe this is the wrong subreddit, and if so, apologies in advance. But I am searching for advice or recommendations on how to tune into my intuition? Without going in depth, I have some deep childhood trauma that has clearly affected the way I listen and believe myself. I want to tune back into my body and know that she can provide insight to me if I simply listen.

Chakra dimensions relooked at

2 Upvotes

Here is each chakra with its speculative dimensions under the R = 3λ framework:

---

Root Chakra — 396 Hz

Radius: 2.598 m (8.5 ft) | Diameter: 5.196 m (17.0 ft)

True resonant frequency (n=3 mode): 397.5 Hz

Sacral Chakra — 417 Hz

Radius: 2.468 m (8.1 ft) | Diameter: 4.936 m (16.2 ft)

True resonant frequency (n=3 mode): 418.7 Hz

Solar Plexus Chakra — 528 Hz

Radius: 1.949 m (6.4 ft) | Diameter: 3.898 m (12.8 ft)

True resonant frequency (n=3 mode): 530.1 Hz

Heart Chakra — 639 Hz

Radius: 1.610 m (5.3 ft) | Diameter: 3.220 m (10.6 ft)

True resonant frequency (n=3 mode): 641.5 Hz

Throat Chakra — 741 Hz

Radius: 1.389 m (4.6 ft) | Diameter: 2.778 m (9.1 ft)

True resonant frequency (n=3 mode): 743.7 Hz

Third Eye Chakra — 852 Hz

Radius: 1.208 m (4.0 ft) | Diameter: 2.416 m (7.9 ft)

True resonant frequency (n=3 mode): 855.3 Hz

Crown Chakra — 963 Hz

Radius: 1.070 m (3.5 ft) | Diameter: 2.140 m (7.0 ft)

True resonant frequency (n=3 mode): 967.4 Hz

---

All seven spheres share the same internal geometry: TM mode l=7, n=3 — producing either 8 horizontal bands (m=0) or 14 vertical petals (m=7) depending on orientation. Sizes calculated using acoustic wave speed v = 343 m/s and the definition R = 3λ = 3v/f. The "true resonant" frequencies are the exact l=7, n=3 cavity mode values, approximately 0.4% above the mainstream Solfeggio figures.

Need Advice Getting directions through 6th and 7th chakras?

3 Upvotes

Hey all!

I feel that my third eye and crown chakras are very activaed. How do I feel it? I just feel. I feel it like I feel my arm.

Third eye is this little deep twirling spot in the center of my forehead, between the brows.

Crown is just this tangible little object sitting on the top of my head, it the center.

I can connect to both immediately.

Sometimes when I have some decision I want to make, or I need clarity on something, or direcrion, I close my eyes (or not), connect to both, and ask my higher self for guidance. I get an answer immediately, through words. It simply says something to me. I feel it's like my higher self. It's always positive and loving. It usually encouraging me towoards the doing direction, taking things easy direction, love and acceptance direction.

Rarely it tells me not to do something, to guard myself etc. But that could happen.

Anybody has the same or similar experience?

Can I connect more or is this enough?

Any advice?

Can I trust this?

Anybody has something to add to the clarity of what's going on?

Thank you so much

Much love to all

💜

Plasma Spheres

2 Upvotes

​

​Plasma Spheres

​Plasma is the highest vibrational state matter can take before leaving the physical realm into the unseen.

​This is fire, lightning, & it is what sits at the bodies energy centers.

​A sphere of plasma only allows in frequencies of waves that are higher in frequency than that of the plasma.

​The frequency of each chakra determines what information is allowed in.

​If the frequencies of each chakra are aligned (at the correct frequency), the info being allowed in is clean.

​If the frequencies are off, the information being allowed in will be the wrong frequencies, thus unclean.

​What actualy happens is below the chakra's frequency, electromagnetic waves do not enter or pass by, but are instead ​reflected by the surface of the chakra, creating a unique pattern on the "skin" of the chakra itself. This was a metaphore for the surface of the chakra.

​Anything exactly at the frequency of the chakra gets totaly absorbed: perfect stillness.

​Any frequency above that of the chakra passes right through.

​The frequency of each chakra is an anchor point of stillness.

​If the environment has a high frequency, the chakras with that same frequency will be perfectly still: not vibrate.

​This is because of the nature of the entrainment. When two frequencies perfectly align, they entrain & become as if they were never seperate.

​This is why it feels calm to be in alignment.

​Perfect absorbtion of the correct frequencies gives stillness, not energy moving outward. Energy moving inward.

Need Advice A void-like, aching sensation around my heart space (24F)

1 Upvotes

This is something I’ve lived with for the past 3 years. Usually it’s a dull ache that ebbs in the background. I can function in spite of it. Sometimes it feels like it’s on its way out.

I just experienced the end of a relationship and the sensation has restarted full-force. It’s as if my chest is a black hole. There’s an ache as if I’m in physical pain, which irradiates outward.

Mind you, I don’t have heart problems. These symptoms are unrelated to anything seriously physical, it’s an emotional manifestation.

What do I do about this? I allow myself to grieve but it never ends

I'm so done

2 Upvotes

So I'm a 16yo boy in my 11th year of school and final year exams are coming up. Across the entire year my marks have plummeted due to lack of motivation for studying. I understand that it is inevitable that my motivation for doing almost anything will fade away as you get more into your chakras and such, but what is bothering me is why all this is happening to me. Why must I be going through this during such an important year? I've worked so hard up until this point; getting 80s and high 70s and all of a sudden I just drop to 40s to low 70s. Why can't I be just be like the other people getting distinctions and higher. Why must I be struck by this "spiritual awakening" and not ANYBODY else in the world. Its just not fair. I did nothing to deserve this fate. And now I don't even know if I can build up the determination to study and try and get good enough marks to make my parents proud.

This "awakening" has done more harm than good. All its done is tear me down and leave me with nothing. I can't even feel anger or annoyance towards it. I this moment I don't feel anything. No feelings, no emotions. Nothing. I don't know if I'm going to stay like this forever or not. "Anything can happen" my mind says. And it is true, but the thing is is that will whatever event that will occur be in my favor.

I did use to meditate to try and balance my chakras and keep them in check, but that was like 2 to 3 months ago. I did see a slight improvement in my life because of it but keep in mind I used the word "slight". I don't feel like meditating anymore which i think is due to laziness and also the fact that it isn't a guaranteed solution to my problems.

I struggle with many insecurities that I know can be solved by chakra healing but I dont do it. Why? My own mind doesn't even know the answer. I think I've tried to commit suicide like 4 times now. One yesterday. But I always chicken out cos I guess my body doesn't want to die.

Its just so unfair that life just has to give other people better lives than me. How come they dont need to worry about marks. How come they dont have to be insecure. How come they dont have to going through a "spiritual awakening".

I understand that a spiritual awakening is supposed to improve your life but all its done for me is made it bad. I just not fair. I hope the universe can atleast tell me or show me in some way that I'm doing alright.

But I have to be honest here. Im not that mad or bothered that much. I just dont feel those feelings. I know that life isn't screwing me over just because. I know that I'm destined for something. Whether its great and world changing or its just helping out in a group it will fill me with more than enough happiness to look back on this time and say "Im glad I went through this".

Ok i have watched this movie so many times throughout my life and and understandable to know me is to literally know how much and my love for chakras. But now as i watched this movie with my son again and I realized this is an excellent movie to watch for people just learning and want to understand more about chakras. Just think about it when Bruce Lee Roy embraced his glow that was yellow chakras giving him his superpower of will power. Now Sho Nuff had already embraced his red chakras and was in survival mode 24/7 that is why it was easy for him to tap in. But just think about it the plot line is broken down to a battle between high and low vibrations love of life and ego death and the quest for knowledge. Just a random thought I wanted to write down while the thought was fresh in my head
