Hello to everyone,
After so rudely jumping in on conversation, I've decided this would be a good time to introduce myself. LOL
Anyway, I'm Ricky. In 1991 I received shakitpat from Sri Anandima. For many years, I was involved, but being the independant that I am and the increased sensitivity to other peoples issues, I left the group to allow myself to grow unadulterated. For the most part, my awakening has been a smooth ride. I never did meditate everyday so I'm sure this made it easier on me. And, because I was so young, 21, at the time, I felt like there was so much in the world I needed to experience before dedicating my life to a path. It turned out that living life was the way to go for me as it has taught me more about dealing with the energies than the actual pracitice of dealing with the energies.
I have been teaching yoga for about 10 years, and a little over a year ago opened my own yoga studio. Unfortunately, being a lone teacher, though I love the independence, does increase the energy a great deal. I joined this group because I ran into some slight turbulence after teaching so many classes and attempting to meditate a little more often. Though I don't feel the turbulence is anything more than I can handle, it is always good to have support from people going through the same thing, and because of some interpersonal issues with my group of origin, I am reluctant to seek support there.
Most recently, I have come upon a slight problem of muscular twitching in my left temple. I am no stranger to twitching in the middle of my brow, I seem to have a great deal of activity in my third eye, however, the twitching in my left temple is completely new and foriegn. Immediately, I stopped meditation to see if any relief could be had. No luck. So, I called the doctor. He believe there was nothing physical to worry about. Since it continued with a vengence, and extended to a tingling along the left side of my face and a tingling band around my head, I was certain it was energetic, but couldn't let go of the idea that it could be something physical.
My next trip was to the dentist. Interestingly, I had two bad wisdom teeth on my left side. There you have it. After a week of antibiotics, I had my wisdom teeth ripped out of my head by his sadistic hands. The twitching left. Or so I thought. It has now subsided to an intermittent twitching, but still present.
I am also beginning to see auras (imagine after all these years) and several floating lights. I will have another question later about lights, but I am very interested in knowing if anyone has ever experienced persistent twitching in the temporalis. As long as I know it is nothing physical to worry about, then I'm fine with it; I'll twitch until Christmas happily. It's being in the dark about whether I should continue with the medical route, which could be very expensive and potentially damaging, that is driving me up the wall.
I really appreciate the existence of this group. Since the internet, I have been very surprised by the number of people experiencing Kundalini. Even after all my time under a Guru's direction, there is more information out there than one can shake a stick at. Would I advise the direction under a Guru? Yes and No. I feel it is helpful to have the basic guidance one can provide as well as the spiritual support, but I also feel that in order for the spirit to fly one must find self reliance and seek that fulfillment through ones heart and intuition. God has never let me down in such things and I feel my wings are finally beginning to spread. If you happen to see spiritual energy, I'm the one with the twitching temple.
Thanks. I look forward to getting to know everyone.
Ricky
