hey everybody i have a few questions about recent happenings:
About 5 days ago when i was in meditation, the energy and pressure moved just to my right side. when i wake up i feel ajna and crown normally but then there is also this pool of energy above the right brow and another pool on the right of the top of my head near the crown. the pool goes away a little when i relax and focus on SoS which has gotten even easier to become drowned in, but i still feel the other one on the right side on my head next to the crown. i use to feel a large pressure cap all thru my head in meditation, but now its hardly at all just right side and sometimes above left eye, my face just feels warmed and the sos just makes the experience even more soothing. and when i enter samadhi all the pain, trapped energy pools, headaches go away and my body feels full of light. then when the breathing comes back i get up and feel rested, i yawn and kinda feels like i just woke up, i feel rejuvinated for a little bit at least, but then it comes back [:p]. i have found this and walking to be the only effective way to combat the negativity and drama, but it just makes me "ignore" the pools but i eventually come back to them [:(].
is this normal?
is the energy and pressure pools just slowly leaving my head?
i read the kundalini is on the right side, so does this explain the pools there?
will it just dissaper in a few days?
i have been walking and not been meditating that much at all lately even before this started to happen, so idk why this happened or maybe im just being paranoid and its moving from left to right and then outwards and gone?
is this just some drama that will pass if i continue to cut back my meditation time or eliminate it completely for a certain amount of time?
its just kind of annoying the pools and sometimes they give me a small headache, i feel a lil sick, and hear a higher pitch ringing in my right ear. like i said i have been slowly cutting down since the end of july so this is or isnt odd?
thanks [:)]
i mean i think this is understandable considering how fast and how much progress and energy current has been running thru me in the past 3 months. a few weeks ago my intuition was telling me its over,i'm done, i did what i sought out to do, relax and enjoy the new blessings, the hard hard work and scraping and dusting away is over for now.
so should i just cool it for a while?
suggestions?]]> Samyama Healing Recipient List Shanti@aypsite.org http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1565 Member Announcements - Events, Classes & Retreats Thu, 28 Aug 2008 21:32:54 +0200 http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1565 Quote:

Beautiful post Katrine.
Thank you.
Anytime you feel lonely and want to spread the love.. send some my way... I am always ready to receive.[:D]

The pain you feel is energy moving.. don't remember how you were with the crown.. but you may want to try and let the the energy move upwards... it wants to move out. I have found this a great release for this ache (the not for God kind). Just feel the crown wide open and let the energy flow out into the world.

But then as you know, you have to be careful with the crown. Don't push too much.. and yet don't be afraid to try.

Hi Gumpi,

This is the Master Formula of Attainment from The Personal Power Series of books by William Walker Atkinson.

1) Know exactly what you want
2) Want it bad enough
3) Confidently expect to obtain it
4) Persistantly determine to obtain it
5) Be willing to pay the price

In your case, #5 is less beer. Well, it is a good yardstick to measure yourself within any field of endeavour. I find it helpful and thought you might, too.

The prime lifestyle dictum for success in Yogic endeavour is to "live moderately."

One beer might be moderate.

Because the majority of the people posting on here have been trying the practice religiously and long enough to be able to see our own tangible evidence of improvements in our daily lives just the way Yogani said it would happen.

Gumpi, let me suggest you give a thousand one more tries.

"A thousand times to fall and a thousand times to rise."

Make twice daily meditation the cornerstone of your life and maintain a continuous gentle pressure moving in that direction, no matter what.

Eventually, you will perform enough karmas and gain direct experience for yourself. Then you won't question so much. Once you are infected by the yoga virus of direct experience, it is incurable. It can't be helped.

And more power to you, Gumpi.

When you say you live in "the eye".. do you mean third eye or your physical eyes?


I just posted an answer to your question here:

http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic....OPIC_ID=4369


I must tell you......this book of Osho...."The book of secrets"......it came into my hands back in 2004.....I took it with me to a 5 days holiday up at the cabin I used to have in the mountains. I was alone - my daughters were away on a tour playing handball and my ex husband was working. So it was just the mountains, the dog and myself. I went for long walks, bathed naked in the rivers and lakes and meditated morning and evening on the terrace. The whether was beautiful the whole time......before the hikings I read Oshos book....I had a flower in front of me, and I read and read......early mornings and all evening. This was summer......so the sun didn't set until 11 p.m......I could sit outside all night. I became more and more quiet inside......the awe I felt was shutting me up......and one evening I noticed the sound of F inside.....and listening to it I had my first experience of a valley orgasm. It just happened by itself and I guess this was the very start of the proper Kundalini awakening. I reread the book a couple of times that year.....it always had the same effect on me......i became very, very quiet inside.

Anyway - I haven't read it since then.......but your link reminded me of what I usually do when I come out of meditation. I spontaneously started doing it about a year ago: I will place the ball of my hands lightly on my eyelids [:)] When I do this....there are visions in a black space. Usually a beautiful blue living colour...like a pulsing, throbbing circle. Sometimes there is a violet swirl.

But the most attractive....is the lucid blackness that holds the colours.]]> Celibacy gumpi@aypsite.org http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=4308&REPLY_ID=36912 Kundalini - Inner Energy Ecstasy Thu, 28 Aug 2008 15:07:13 +0200 http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4308 Quote:
Neli,

If you don't mind my asking, how long have you been on a spiritual path and meditating?

I ask because i find your statements a little strange. You compared sex to looking at a frog and feeling no attraction sexually to it. Maybe this is a product of enlightenment (?) but it sounds to me that you still have work to do and so i don't understand your attitude towards sex. I saw a woman on TV not too long ago who apparently had a condition where she felt absolutely no sex drive and no desire to have sex or a partner. But this is an abnormal condition.

Surely attraction is not the problem but the attitude towards it?]]> Cold gumpi@aypsite.org http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=4368&REPLY_ID=36910 Kundalini - Inner Energy Ecstasy Thu, 28 Aug 2008 14:15:54 +0200 http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4368 Quote:
Shanti,

You said the sensations are like minty cold and warm. I sometimes feel something like that in my back. What is it? I don't think that is kundalini because if that is kundalini i am not aware of chakras and i am not percieving higher planes, seeing light or hearing sounds.

It is like along the spine but it branches out, especially around the mid to lower back. I've noticed that when i feel happy the sensations there increase. It is very similar to something i used to get that people call a shiver down the spine but the temperature sensations (that is how i usually describe it) are different to anything i have experienced before.

I feel pressure on my crown, medulla and bindu points, roughly corresponding. But you see, i used to get panic attacks which would create pressure in my head and i put these sensations down to anxiety. I also feel pressure or pain sensations in my eyes. ONe time when i had a very bad attack the doctors gave me valium and i felt these pressures receed backwards into the medulla and then poof! vanished completely. But that was many years ago and now i just feel a dull sensation that sometimes feels painful and especially when i meditate. In fact, i haven't had a proper sleep in many years because as i said in another post i like having a drink at night and i know that if i don't do that i will lie down, close my eyes and the pressure will rise up into my head and i won't have a nice time. When i close my eyes to meditate, soon enough the pressure "rises" up and i feel incredibly uncomfortable.

If these are kundalini symptoms then perhaps it explains why i have never heard of anything similar anywhere in literature or from doctors who explain that anxiety usually manifests in the chest area, whereas i feel it all in the head.]]> Exercise to Try- Nothing Exists but Now Sparkle@aypsite.org http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=4315&REPLY_ID=36907 Satsang Cafe Thu, 28 Aug 2008 13:21:06 +0200 http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4315 Quote:

I wanted to put a simple little exercise out there that I have been doing occasionally between practices that is very powerful. It is similar to one that Shanti put up a while back. It came up as I started to notice that the events in our lives have an illusion of flow from one to another, but that each is essentially independently arising from the past and future. Essentially, there is only now, which we all know. I experience a fairly intense ecstasy spike when I do it, which is an interesting side-effect that I didn't expect.

I guess it is a form of mindfulness. Simply tell yourself that nothing exists except this moment (that you are in). Repeat it any time you sense thoughts taking you away from the now or thoughts creeping in from the past or future.

To intensify the experience, really completely let go of the past and future. Let everything go, your name, your entire identity, everything you think you know, etc. You are awareness in this moment watching, that is all, it is the only consistency, nothing else exists except this moment. You might notice a little fear come up as you let it all go, that's ok, it will pass.

It's quite restful to let go of all responsibilities. Really dive in and see what happens.[:)]

Great exercise Andrew, I agree it's a form of mindfulness. My experience of this is, as if everything is passing through, although this is not seen unless we momentarily check out and check back in again (if you know what I mean)[:)]

So any processing that happened to be going on is just passing through. There may be pain but there is no suffering because nothing is attached to the pain.

This form of mindfulness comes naturally with the development of inner silence, as Yogani pointed out.

I find it nice to listen to music like this. The sounds becoming me in the body just passing though in resonance.
(It makes a change from me imagining myself up on the stage playing that marvoulous electric guitar solo in front of an audience - one of my pet fantasies[:D])

I'm a bit lost because I thought lighting up inner fire was done by bringing apana & prana to mix together into navel chakra so I don't see why apana can cool down since it was used to produce inner heat.

Hello Everyone and thank you for your input...

Tadeas: I understand all about coming back to the mantra, scenery, and not paying special attention to ANYTHING and that is not my issue. My issue is that by not understanding in any diffinitive way WHAT I am seeing, this is causing undue attraction to figuring it out. That is distracting. And I didn't mean "stay in the void" like it came out. I know staying the the state of pure being is not really the desired outcome of AYP, and at this point it is more about the purification aspect. I understand that. But these occurances are rather persistant for me and I will explain this is a second in response to emc and Shanti's posts.
emc/Shanti: Thank you for pointing me to these threads. A few I had come across, a few I had not. Thank you. My experiences are very similiar to these but different in 2 minor ways.
1: It only happens after I hit the point in DM where I am hearing loudly in both ears the OM/ringing sounds. I am well aware of all the implications of this and understand why this is happening. No problems there. BUT...
2: My experiences tend to last MUCH longer then anyone else seems to have experienced, or at least that I have read about here at AYP. They seem less like the "glimpses" everyone is talking about and more like a constant stream of reality tv. When this happens to me it usually takes, as I said before, at least 10 to 15 seconds (sometimes longer) to realize I am watching something and then I can watch it (and listen to it) indefinitely. I DON'T stay and watch,(except for once, which is what made me realize that this was a permanent glimpse into whatever, and made me want to open this topic) and once I realize this is happening I go back to my mantra and continue with DM, but the one time that I stayed with the "vision" as long as I felt "comfortable" watching was quite an odd and troubling experience. I won't go into what I saw because it isn't important, (I don't think?) but suffice it to say it was random, and I believe current. (meaning, I don't think it was in the past or the future, or a memory or past life or anything like that) I have read other threads of people experiencing other peoples immediate moment (or so it seems) while in deep meditation, but this again is slightly different as I seem to have a bird's eye view instead of a view say "through another's eyes". This is what made me initially think that maybe I was somehow tapping into a TV frequency, the view was much like that which would be used in TV or a movie. But I don't think that is it either because the content was so common and normal that I doubt anyone would desire to watch a TV show like that. (even in this day and age of "reality" tv[:p] haha) Anyways, I understand that what I'm seeing doesn't matter, the content is not important, but I feel this intense need to at least understand WHY this is happening to me so that I can TRUELY leave it alone in my thoughts like I can leave alone the ringing in my ears. (I actually kinda like it[;)]) It wouldn't be so bad either if it didn't happen EVERYTIME I meditate. But without fail, ever since I started really going deep; deep enough to hear the ringing, I get these (ugh I hate this word...) visions. I can deal with it, but I know it would be a lot easier to just go back to the mantra if I could understand why this is happening like I understand why I have a ringing in my ears. I appreciate the conversation and the opinions/suggestions.
Namaste,

Hi neli,

I think it depends on what you're referring to when you wrote "one must not be fixed on that". The reason I say this is because it's skillful to pay attention to Nimittas, and make them one's new object of meditation once they arise, if one wishes to deepen their level of Meditative Absorption (Samadhi/Jhana). The Buddha even addressed the subject of Nimittas, and their usages, in several Suttas.

Here's a URL to an essay, by a former associate of mine, that discusses Nimittas and their usage:

Mortality is a great motivator of spiritual progress. Don't we know it? So let's not waste a minute. [:)]

The guru is in you.





love that you mention mortality being the great motivator to spiritual progress. knowing death to know the immortal angelic being of spirit. knowing death to know bounds of time. knowing death to be spirit that which creates human realities to evolve.

when the spirit as being is the experience to know our daily human reality that is here for a purpose, each minute is the magical moment that is expansive and angelic. angelic in knowing love as experience and reality in simply "being". angelic as grace received. angelic as being the oneness.


all in the dance of love as the yogic journey! cheers yogani![:)]

joys shared by each as angelic reality![:)]

ya ok so ive done the practise, far as i am concerd it is kundalini.
kundalini is simply energy, DUH
and their are three aspects of it
spirit
fire
water
the tingling, is what ive been doing threw breathing, and have had success doing with ayp practises as well.

the only problem i see with ayp, is spinal breathing works best when their is great upwards pressure, so that breathing down the spine, "builds" pressure, like running your hand agienst a stream.

this pressure can be built up by a strong microcosmic orbit.

though i dont perticularly fancy the ayp method, it does have its use'es, and i am certianly no master yet.]]> 8/8/2008 CarsonZi@aypsite.org http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=4229&REPLY_ID=36807 Satsang Cafe Tue, 26 Aug 2008 15:08:22 +0200 http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4229 Quote:
This was my wedding date. My meditations that day were off the hook (in a great way[:D]) that day, and my wedding was perfect. I think the date had nothing to do with it personally though. Just an easy way for me not to forget my anniversaries[:p] haha
