namaste friends,

if it's possible i would appreciate if people who are familiar with soma and the nectar cycle could share their experiences precisely on soma in this topic.

last week i had a powerful and very beautiful experience similar to those which happen every time a plexus opens... up till now the trip has been down from the crown then the ajna then the heart and now the solar plexus... but it goes without saying that the root is definitely opened... why is it in this order i really i don't know...

anyways the last opening at the solar plexus due to the last DM enhancement seems to have triggered a new process in my stomach or made the whole process of the nectar cycle much more powerful... and it's mostly very present during the first 4 to 5 hours after my DM session.

my experience with soma is the following: it's very intoxicating and this is really happening and sometimes to the extremes where i am forced to be silent and i can't talk too much or else the symptoms will become stronger and at other times there is whole body intoxication and all of this is actually good but sometimes a bit too good... but something which intrigues me about the whole process is the taste; i've read that the taste is supposed to be mint-like but over here it's not like that and instead it's kind of a heavy taste mixed with the taste of inner silence...

would appreciate any input

Yeah ! I too fear it doesn't work like that but there's no harm in wishing.

That which is never ceases to be - Agree !
That which is not never comes into being - Do not agree !

Pain in the chest eh?

Heart opening.
Lovely!!!!!
maheswari Posted - Mar 17 2012 : 2:20:03 PM
thank u Shanti..the funny thing is i translated this lesson into arabic but i thought that this is not going to happen anytime soon so i forgot all about it
the lesson says:
quote:
Much of this penetration occurs as this substance enters the spinal canal and rises up through the chest cavity to the head.

this explains the 'pain in the chest' that am feeling lately..ie obstructions being cleared out by the rise of this substance....oh well let it happen if it wants to happen
Shanti Posted - Mar 17 2012 : 1:58:33 PM
Maheswari, kechari is not needed to experience amrita. It is a natural process of evolution that will happen as we continue with our practices.

This lesson explains it well.
http://www.aypsite.org/304.html

If the taste is metallic, it may be because you are a bit dehydrated. That is what I experience here. Drink plenty of water, especially during the increased soma cycle.

maheswari Posted - Mar 17 2012 : 1:20:19 PM
so it can happen without kechari?!!....sorry i am too lazy to re read the related lessons... this practice does not really excite me so will leave things as they happen or dont happen
Ananda Posted - Mar 17 2012 : 1:07:27 PM
Yes, I've stopped kechari a long time back and this stuff still happens except that the metalic rare is a rare feeling. It's more about sweetness and ecstatic intoxication now...

Love,
Ananda
maheswari Posted - Mar 17 2012 : 1:03:21 PM
this reminded me that since few days when doing DM...around the end of the session..i am feeling something secreting from the back of my mouth..near the palate...and the taste is metalic (unpleasant)
but the feeling of secretion is pleasant
does that make any sense?
i dont do kechari
Ananda Posted - Mar 17 2012 : 09:58:45 AM
Good things are happening dear
Inner_silence Posted - Mar 17 2012 : 09:13:58 AM
I went for my early morning workout today. I felt a mild headache which I ignored and while climbing Jacob's ladder my attention was drawn to a cool minty fluid, almost gaseous (without the mint smell) coming down my sinus flowing through the throat. It tasted a little sweet but not like fructose. I was curious as to what it could be. So I checked this forum out. Thanks for posting your experiences. I still do not know what I experienced fully since I lost track due to my morning schedule.

Noticed that after an initial period of perhaps 3-4 months where the taste was powerful and potent constantly, it has faded substantially.

The sweetness is barely even there anymore, what remains is like a cool sensation, with a very mild, almost metallic taste.

Just wondering if this is natural or if some sensitivity has been lost on my end.

thanks for all the loving responses...

It will come and go for a bit. Then at one point it becomes constant. And yes, what Bewell said, the metallic and/or sour taste can happen due to dehydration, so drinking extra water helps.

Shanti has written that the matalic taste is an indication of the need to drink more water. My experience confirms it.
Ananda Posted - Jan 11 2011 : 02:52:24 AM
For me the taste has changed ever since I stopped kechari, but all of the above mentioned tastes still come and go every now and then.

Love,
Ananda
Rishi Posted - Jan 11 2011 : 01:49:27 AM
It is same for me as well Neo - cool and metallic (after six months or so). It is accompanied by a cool sensation near the crown chakra.

But strangely I haven't felt the intoxicating effect - it is calming but definitely not intoxicating ... or perhaps all those years of wine tasting has altered my threshold of intoxication :)

Greetings
Rishi

Lovely of you to open up this subject again bewell, I have stopped kechari for quite a while now and i must admit that the process has really toned down a lot. But a beautiful thing have been taking place for a while now, the sweet like flowery taste in the mouth has been spreading out from my skin and i could taste it and smell it very clearly and some of my friends and the people around me have noticed it and smelled it as well especially the spiritual ones (for some reason when i am around friends whom i teach this process along with others tend to take place.)

Love,
Ananda

And yes, rest as much as possible if that is what the body is pulling you toward. Just listen to you body, it knows what to do.



Thanks. I will up my water intake!
Ananda Posted - Apr 29 2010 : 11:29:23 AM
hi Jean, i don't think i am anywhere near this state (even though the nectar is very abundant) nor am i interested really i'd rather enjoy have food with my loved ones

mucht thanks for the topic.

namaste
jean Posted - Apr 29 2010 : 10:55:01 AM
I have read that Prahlad Jani is living from that nectar only.
He was under medical observation several times and the medical staff confirmed that he has not taken any food or water for the time of observation.
Quite amazing.

There is very high energy around(can be unsettling at times), and nectar just flows...
Well it was Buddha Jayanti on the 27th.
Ananda Posted - Apr 29 2010 : 01:41:09 AM
since yesterday non stop up till now and the nectar has been exactly as Yogani says in this lesson: http://www.aypsite.org/133.html "sweet with a fragrance like flowers" and when it happened i remembered you Dear Shweta and your experience with it and it seems that i took that with me to my sleep where i dreamed that i was being helped or given an advise by you in my dream yesterday night on a plane.
