Hi Carlos-

Now you know how it feels to stimulate the crown chakra (often called sahasrara, or thousand petal lotus) . It's a sign of spiritual advancement.

You can augment this by meditation, or by pranayama (get a local expert to teach you bhastrika with maha bandha), and you will raise kundalini energy up the spine. If you have never meditated, a simple book that locates the major chakras (seven chakras, Hindu system, is easiest for this) and the number of "petals" (nadis) will give you a chance to sit and trace out the nadis in your body. That will give you about half the needed meditation to start energizing the chakras, and that leads to kundalini.

Or, just go on with your life, and have confidence in your own spontaneous awakening.

Tayo:

I feel energy in various ways at the top of my head just about all the time.  My doors of perception plus my contact with the spirit World (especially my higher self) increased noticeably as a result.

I didn't want to rely on books to find out about working with kundalini, because the fact of how many phony kundalini Gurus there are has come to my attention. They gather followers in hoards, and then leave them to themselves when they start having kundalini problems.

My kundalini/energy body is worked on by a guide or guides (I don't know how many). When I see how it is worked on, it is hard to imagine how the application of energy manipulation techniques could work as well.

I believe that the main thing is to get your energy flowing freely, so that it can connect with the energy of God, higher self, etc.  You can help your guidance do so, by getting rid of the psychological attachments and emotional issues that are stored within your body.

Let me put it this way. I've found that kundalini is more subtle than the physical. Therefore it can move right through physical tissue without having to push it out of the way. This becomes very noticeable once it starts really flowing. 

Thought patterns on the other hand, that stay with you because of emotional attachments, are subtle enough to block kundalini's flow.

It seems to me that kundalini works on removing blockages in stages. Say for example, you have a blockage at point A. It gets loosened up a bit by kundalini, you find out what psychological issue the blockage relates to, and then let it go. The blockage at point A is gone for a few weeks, and then comes back a couple of weeks later due to another psychological issue that needs to be cleared.

It is as if the issues get layered, and resultantly need to be removed in layers.

The more you remove layers, the more kundalini can flow. On the other hand, the more kundalini flows, the more layers of blockage need to be removed.

Blockages can cause physical pain. I used to have upper and lower back pain, plus neck pain that went away, after blockages were removed.  More than once I've experienced pain in some part of my body, sat down to meditate, and found that the pain occured right where the blockage is. Sometimes pain can be felt when a part of you energy body is worked on.

How to remove the issues that relate to blockages? I've found that if you pay attention to dreams, they'll tell you what issues need to be worked on. Sometimes such issues can be found in daily life, but they are often missed. Sometimes you'll be surprised at what issues are still hanging around.

Occasionally I'll be shown an image or two (and sometimes more) during meditation, and these images also tell me what issues are causing my kundalini to be blocked.

It also helps to have a good diet. That way energy won't have to be diverted to clean up the crud.

There's more to it than this. Besides blocks, it seems as if adjustments are made to your nervous system, chakras and the other parts of your energy body. I don't know the details.

How very interesting! See if you can try to duplicate your situation and relaxation level again, and see if it comes back. Might be kind of cool to explore it further.

Recoverer,

What does the stardust mean to you?

And I think that the energy was just at the top of my head... it felt "heavier" towards the outer parts of the top but can't remember feeling it in the back...

I can't remember any dreams, just once in a while. Maybe my memory is really bad. But lately, after going to bed with thoughts of putting my intention on a certain something (as I've learned from you guys here), I've woken up the next morning with a certain feeling or even short phrases on my head which just proves that it's no joke. I haven't been able to put this much into practice yet, still trying to get used to it, figure out the meanings.. and not forcing it.


Sasuke,

I've been wanting to duplicate the experience but since I don't think i did anything to provoke it I'll have to find a way... I believe meditation was the key... but it was pretty spontaneous. We'll see what comes up next time. Thanks for your tip!

Love,
Carlos.

Recoverer...

Last night I went to bed wanting to remember the dreams and well guess what... I had not one but two! The first one was right before waking up and the second one a few hours later while taking a nap. I couldn't remember the 1st one right away, it came back after a minute or two of waking up. They both seemed anf felt very real.

On the first one I was driving very fast, moving through past all the traffic on some highway, there were a lot of cars around, I was racing this other car driven by some girl i liked.. etc.. after waking up from this one I was feeling not exactly dizzy.. more like spiraly.. lol.. very funky feelng.

This all might be totally out of topic here but I guess many threads morph with age...

Afterwards I had thoughts of the possibility that my consciousness regarded the dreams as a "past experiences" and moved on with its daily routine, forgeting about them.  From these dreams I even remembered the feelings involved, which was very  exciting! Also followed your advice about having the dream journal -before reading your message- and wrote them down as soon as I remembered them.

I could go on and on.. somebody please stop me.. lol

Hi Blink

It's more than wonderful! It's more than blissful. Even though my 2nd dream wasn't as fun as the 1st one since these guys showed up (in these woods that I was hanging out in by myself) and they were kind of bugging me and even laughed at me once... I was really nervous and then something really amazing happened : I actually heard my own voice in the dream! It came out very tense, very nervous... I felt like a kid who had been cought smoking a.. I mean doing something bad... lol

Can't help sharing this.

Love,
Carlos.

Hey Dave!

My heart starts jumping around whenever I talk about this... and you say it gets better? Holy cramp!

I've been giving this a lot of thought today. On this second dream I could hear the men's voices while walking around in the forest... and then they showed up and started playing with my head. They thought they were funny. There were three of them, a young man, a butler or servant and an older fellow. The youngest one was the one speaking to me. The others were like in tune with him and laughed at the same time. Do you think these men were my guides? Or were you guys playing hide and seek with me last night? Huh?

The younger fellow looked kind of like Ryan (who posts here) even though I've only seen him on his avatar here.

Love,
Carlos.
