dear shades
Shanti has given you great advice.....
do you like singing? it is very good at clearing up and opening the throat chakra
in yoga there is kirtan chanting but in your case since you are a beginner it is better to take things very slowly to avoid overload...for now just sing ( i mean sing really loud with all your heart) your favorite music track...

I'm looking forward to meeting up - I did Gaping Gill (long way round, electron ladders and acetylene lamp!) over thirty years ago. First and last bit of "proper" caving for me! It was so good to get out and warm up in the pub afterwards. I can't begin to describe the relief!


From Bar pot I would think. It's a long climb on ladders 110', done that 3 or 4 times before SRT came along. I still have a carbide lamp and used in doing foreign caves where we couldn't charge the lamps. These days a couple AA batteries and an LED and you have 12 hours of light without any of the weight penalty and a lamp catching on rocks.

The Main shaft from jib tunnel is an interesting rope rig. Several long swings are needed to get the rope deviated. I felt like a spider.

Carson--In my humble opinion (take it or leave it, you know where I come from by now!), all of the prescriptions for this particular place, with this specific cushion, grass, deerskin, etc., are all meant to cause us to make a habit, to make sure we do our practices regularly, period. Once the habit is there and regular practice is a part of life, like brushing our teeth twice a day, then do what you do. Your habit by now is well established, you don't need to worry about any of this nonsense. There is absolutely nothing wrong with meditating sitting up in the bed that you sleep in, as long as you are sitting correctly straight--and I KNOW your meditation posture is just about perfect. Do not worry about it. Your routine sounds just fine to me. Maharishi would tell us, when we were training to teach meditation, that wherever we can think, we can think the mantra, and so there is where we can meditate. Can you think in a noisy bus station? Yes, so there you can also meditate. Can you think in a cave? Yes, so there you can also meditate. Just don't meditate in the car WHILE you are driving! See you next month!

Jim and His Karma,

Thanks a lot for this post. I have found it to be just as illuminating and helpful as Yogani's lesson 366.

I often find myself wondering if I'm trying to control the mantra or if it's doing its own thing. The more I practice, though, I realize that it's pretty much doing its own thing most of the time now. Even wondering if I'm doing it right is getting off the mantra and letting mind hijack the experience, right?]]> Gurglings,thirdeye openings,Kundalini storms??

It seems a bit like a seed, eventually it gets roots and some sort of upper growth. Some unfold out as Rose bushes,Giant Trees or entire gardens complete with waterfalls, but it's all the same movement back towards what already was. My experiences by comparison seem to have been the single blade of grass.




Hi Karl,

The end result of the kundalini process is the production of amrita from the crown. It feels like someone is continually pouring oil on the top of your head which then trickles down your body. This is really the only way of knowing if you have been through a kundalini awakening or not. If you are not experiencing that, then it is probably still to come, fireworks and all.

Besides also demonstrating to me how Navi Kriya is to be done , which, he said would help break the "Vishnu Granthi", he also showed me how to do Vishuddhi Kriya to break the "Rudra Granthi". He is a fantastic guy- very unassuming, almost seeming casual. I imagine Yogani must be something like this to look at and interact with personally.
He goes around giving talks on Kriya Yoga, and I have the gist of one of his talks; only , I don't know how to post this email I got, on the forum, as I would very much like to share this with all AYPers. In this letter, he says (that his Guru told him), that in a previous lifetime he was Madhukarnath, a direct disciple of Mahavatar Babaji !

There is neither misunderstanding here nor I am talking just based on theoretical knowledge alone. Life force does not escape from the body of enlightened Yogi even if thousands of year passes.

==============
THE SACRED BOOKS OF THE HINDUS - THE YOGA SASTRA - HATHA YOGA PRADIPIKA EDITED BY, MAJOR BASU, I.M.S.(RETIRED), VOL. XV--PART III, Ver 44-45.

44. If the Yogi, whose body is full of Somarasa, were bitten by Takshaka (snake), its poison cannot permeate his body.

45. As fire is inseparably connected with the wood and light is connected with the wick and oil, so does the soul not leave the body full of nectar exuding from the Soma.
==============

They are talking here the life force (soul) not living the body and hence physical body not dying.

These kind of questions have been previously raised in this forum.
Please see here.


FYI: The Mummy they are talking here is a jeevasamathi.

There is an enlightened Yogi in Tamil Nadu, India is going to attain Jeevasamathi this year. He already got permission from Tamil Nadu Government (it is a legal requirement in Tamil Nadu) to do so. If you or any one who don't believe, you are welcome to travel to Tamil Nadu to have a look at the process.]]> Monkeys and Ladder escapado@aypsite.org http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic.asp?whichpage=-1&TOPIC_ID=11025&REPLY_ID=94571 Illuminated Poetry, Quotations and Stories Thu, 02 Feb 2012 16:45:56 +0200 http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=11025 Quote:

Thank you for the information, Christi. What you wrote about the nadis explains many of the feelings I've noticed. For some reason, I did not see your posts when I wrote my last one. I will definitely review those lessons you posted. Exactly, who would believe it! Sometimes I still wake up in the morning and this all seems like a dream....

When I got home from work yesterday, I did the 5 / 10 minute practice. There must have been some major cleaning going on in the week since I last did pranayama. I couldn't believe how quickly and easily my attention went up and down my spine! But, as I suspected, there is quite a bottleneck in my brain (my Dad tried to tell me that many years ago!) Things seemed to clear up quite a bit after that. Based on that, I think I’ll keep it light for a while. I would back off completely, but I feel I should work on clearing the path through the head and hope for slow, continuous improvement.

Thanks again for all of the help!

Reading through the AYP lessons I think I've shed some light on the longer Primordial Sound sessions (30mins). It looks like in PSM they use a longer personalized mantra similar to one of the AYP mantra enhancements (3rd enhancement I think - the one used for over sensitive meditators as well). It seems the longer mantra takes you deeper slower.
