Hillary, thanks for raising this point. I will forward the post to
HarshaSatsangha as well. Of the thousands of Nadis, six are considered most
important for Kundalini practitioners and advanced yogis. Sushumana is in
the back in the middle of the spine (see detailed descriptions in Swami
Sivananda's books) and when the Kundalini Shakti ascends to Sahasarara one
is in mental space. With the rising of Kundalini from Muladhara, the body
consciousness is lost but a person does not become unconscious and can have
various visions, samadhis, etc. Medha is the frontal counterpart to
Sushumana and usually comes into play in later stages when a person is
already advanced on the Shakti path. Shakti does indeed travel upwards
through the Medha Nadi as well and brings certain abilities and powerful
experiences. Ida and Pingala in the back also have frontal counterparts
called Lakshmi and Sarswati and Shakti can travel through these four as
well. This is a very complex topic as the Kundalini Shakti can travel
through many paths and the forces can ascend and descend in a variety of
ways. A discussion of Medha Nadi is usually not found except in some
cases -- See Swami Narayanananda (The Primal Power in Man). By the way, I
used to write quite a bit on Kundalini some years ago on the K-List along
with Kurt, Jan, Gene Keiffer (Gopi Krishna's student and publisher) and
others. We had a lot of fun. At least I did anyway. Are those archives easy
to access? There is a lot of good information there.

Dear Dan,
Sounds like an interesting book. Do you remember the title or author? My
K
doesn't behave itself "properly" either. I would describe it somewhat
like
this "middle of the body path," but I don't discern any particular
"emotional
problems."
Quite a while ago Harsha and Magne Aga described this path. [see below].
But
Harsha seems to be talking about an upward movement like yours and mine,
while Magne Aga describes a downward movement. Perhaps Harsha can give us
more information as to what Swami Narayanananda has to say?
Love, Hillary

Harsha:
I hardly see much mention in the literature of
the Shakti manifestations and moving upwards that is felt in the front.
One exception is Swami Narayanananda (Ramakrishna tradition) who speaks
very
precisely of the counterpart of Sushmana that is felt in the front.
Hillary:
Could you give me more info on this. (A book ref. maybe?) This is
precisely how I constantly feel these energies.
Magne Aga:
This is exactly what Kriya Yoga is all about. Kundalini moves upwards
through sushumna, and downwards meda on the front. Here's the real
difference between Kriya Yoga and the traditional Kundalini Yoga.
Kundalini
Yoga emphasizes only the positive part of the energy, not the negative
counterpart. In Kundalini Yoga, all the energy shall rise to the head, and
then Finito ! The Quest ends. It is almost the same logic as to say that
the World should consist only of Males, that we shall allways be awake
(never sleep), that we shall only have + electricity (no - counterpart).
The rise upwards sushumna to the head can cause severe imbalances, if no
counterpart energy flows downwards meda. Kundalini and the ligth body /
ressurected body is Yang and Yin. In "Vishuddhi shuddhi", the energy moves
upwards and downwards through meda nadi. In Kriya Yoga it moves upwards
sushumna, downwards meda.
Sahashrara and Muladhara are called the two poles. There exists a cosmic
energy in the head, and an Earth energy in the root. When Kundalini meets
the head, it expects to find a "reserved place" there. But if there ain't
any room there, because the head is preoccupied by the other pole energy,
Kundalini begins to search endlesly, restless after a place to be, and the
result may be a psychosis.
