Having done sun salutations myself, one thing that my yoga teacher always
said, was that one should never strain to achieve any asana , to the point of
shaking, or stressing, and that Hatha yoga was not meant to be an endurance
contest , nor a competative sport. In bending backwards, many westerners have
problems with the lower 5 vertebrae. My teacher always told me, to go as far
back as I could while still remaining relaxed in the asana(posture), and to
listen to the mind as the observer, taking note of how it would try to limit me
by telling me that I could not do this, and would hurt myself. I would respond
to the dialog of the mind, and the fear it was trying to plant, with one word
"trust", and then with a breath I would consciuosly send light and relaxation
to the area being stressed while holding the posture, but without holding it
for too long. This is how I would get past some of the asana blocks, within
myelf. I hope that this has helped you in some way.
Also about Tumo fire, which is another name for Kundalini fire, in the
wrong (unprepared) hands, its effects can be devastating. I know my
explaination of it to you might be somewhat abridged, but this is because, I
would not want to recommend any method of attempting to produce the tumo energy
effect, without being in the presence of a teacher or guru, who can help you
push the kundalini back down and realign it into the proper channel if
something should go wrong, and it should become misdirected. If you would like
to read about the effects of misdirected, or undirected kundalini please refer
to the works of Gopi Krishna. His early works tell of how excruciating it can
be to go through misdirected kundalini alone. I am sorry, I hope that you did
not think I was giving you some sort of patten answer! But not knowing your
circumstances, or surroundings, I would not want the karma for possibly giving
a machine gun to a child to play with. I am not implying that you are a child,
I am only saying that I would not give out such information over the net,as it
could do more harm than good. I hope that you will understand.

Asking some questions might be helpful!
Am I going through some sort of consistent heavy mental or emotional
trip?
Am I part of a powerful belief system that I feel forced to remain in
, even though I intuit that I no longer belong there?
Is someone near or around me, with an unusually powerful
personality,or possibly a heavily addicted personality, going through a
traumatic experience, like a death experience? Could they be drawing energy
away from me?
What is really frightening me right now?
Am I too; tired, hungry, lonely or angry?
If there is nothing here to contribute to a possible leeching effect going on,
than the dream about polarity is appropriate, and then one can begin to explore
one's polarity, and upon what level of polarity the changes need take place. A
good healer is very much helpful in these matters.

Yes, I'm a parent! Children are energy sponges, and I do notice that I
feel better when my son is gone for a few days (he's 10).
But I think the dream has to do with a physical condition of losing
energy from the electromagnetic field.
The technicians in the dream talked about Faraday units (measures of
electromagnetic fields). I had to look it up, it's not a part of my
conscious vocabulary. I did polarity work with a massage therapist for a
bit,but felt I was losing energy; felt better when I stopped. Perhaps she
was an energy leech?
Anyway, thanks for your thoughts.

Karen: I find this very interesting!!!!!
I have noticed the same thing my self lately. When I go to
the DoJo for light energy. I come away washed in light. Feel
like I have been on vacation for two months. Sometimes like
I have left the location. When I happen
to be in the radius of others...without being "aware" of it...
I either am...exhausted... or...."filled"..... I have began to
"take notice" and place grids around my self, home, etc.
I have also "noticed" that music and thoughts in MY head
do the same. So.... last week when I was thinking Strong
thoughts...and my computer shut down....I became "Aware"
of my thoughts..... and centered on my breadth.
It seems as if...the Universe is teaching me to center. Do you
experience the same?
I also have a daughter...so I completely understand what you
are saying about the energy loss. I have "noticed" that when
I am centered and there are not a lot of thought patterns
I am not so drained. I have even started to "go to my room"
for short periods and focus on....angels...mine in particular....
or.... light, etc.. and I recharge real easily.
I read something this morning that said we are affected by
the energy for a 1/2 mile radius. Living in Washington DC
that becomes a real interesting statement!!
Sincerely
Doreen

Could it be that during the polar shift that is taking place
our energy centers....are changing???? Everyone I know including myself
is complaining about this. I have started to
sleep by 9pm and wake before sunrise with an afternoon
nap!!!!!! Just to let the change take place. Drink """TONS" of
water....eat salt by the pound and walk and exercise like never
before. Seem like I do not have much time for anything else.
Otherwise....the changes that are taking place overwhelm me.
I have also noticed that my body needs a lot more quiet time
and meditation. I suspect that the energy shifts in polarity due
to the Harmonic Energy Convergence is affecting our systems
in some way. It "FEELS" like I am getting lighter and lighter
and lighter.... like...slowly t-u-r-n-i-n-g back into light?
I hope you do not think I am crazy.l I would not tell this to anyone else
except this list!! I have also noticed that my system
....ha ha....seems to want rabbit food and water, nuts and the like.
....for me....this is a miracle!!!!!! In the past year and a half
my body has dropped serious weight and I seem to crave a
really quiet simple life. Which for me.....is another miracle!
Have also noticed that I am attracting new friends who are
very much like me and experiencing much of the same changes.
When they call, my spirit jumps with joy.....as if I am coming
into contact with soul relatives????? Perhaps an incarnated
family????????? I knew...this would sound strange. I really do
not have a handle on it yet. I do suspect that it is all interrelated.

very confused and intense for the pathfinders as they encounter
deepseated resistance - thus the unique value of the list and its
ability to hold up a mirror to our true selves and our place within the

evolutionary bottleneck everyone has been talking about

In an article in the "Noetic Sciences" it states Qi Gong masters'
claim that they can modulate AC current, from any common source
such as a wall socket.
The author says he witnessed a master grab two live wires, and
light a light bulb by touching it with other fingers from both hands,
regulate the voltage with will, and not suffer from electrocution.
(I should hope not, otherwise stick with the lamp method.)
The author's colleague's muscles went into spasm when touched by
the master. Whether he went into spasm or not was controlled by
the master.
The author allowed the master to touch him for a second and said
he did indeed feel "live."
For the final demonstration the master grabbed the wires along with two
skewers in each hand, stuck them into a pork chop which began
to smoke and flame.(Now I'm hungary)
No damage to the master's skin or severe heart irregularity or
seizure.
The author was David Eisenberg, MD who is interested in conducting
controlled studies for this phenomena.
The healing potentials are the underlying reason for practicing Qi Gong,
(not cooking pork chops).
Anyway, thought this was interesting.
I'm reserving judgment.

Dear folks:
I joined the list last month because of the stress of energy at my neck
and head. After doing excercises recommended by some people on list, I
felt much better. I do have questions:
1. After doing cleaning, it feels much cleaner. But,blocks are back the
next day!.
2. There is a block in my spine at the back of my solar plexus which come
and go every day. How to remove it?.
3. Last week, when I did cleaning on my neck and head, I felt like I was
pulling some threads or roots from there?. Why is it like
threads/roots?. What is it?
Well, someone may have posted it sometime ago. But, I have gone over
every mail from the beginning of May and could not find any answer.
Would someone be kindly enough to tell me the answer again?
With love and light to everyone,

Although I am sure humans have reached critical mass before...
(The most immediate thing which comes to mind is speech)
Probably though they were not *conscious* of the critical mass effect.
I wonder if humans have ever reached a critical mass for
anything as consciously as the current events we are experiencing.
The internet allows for a more direct connection and hence a bigger
explosion when the critical mass arrives.
In some ways it seems that consciousness adds an extra dimension
to critical mass. An exponential explosion.
And kundalini-- or as I think of it-- the flow of energy through
the body becomes yet another method of relating to another...
not just through speech, but through conscious energy.
Where will it go from here?
In light,

I had left the idea of sending my diary , as the computer was not
cooperating and hence took that as indication that these ideas may be
premature.
I had also talked of inner voice . Later on I felt that in Sufi
system ANHAD and in Hindu sant and Sikh sant system SHABAD also is known
as inner voice though I felt that it should be inner music.
There were many such words which meant different things in
different systems. This left a lot of ground for misunderstanding. So I
beleive that I should wait and lurk around.
When I would go in meditation I would put a question before me
and always I would get answer inside my mind. The answer would definately
be not product of my own sub conscious. The answer that I got five years
back would fit in scheme of things even today after I have gone thro
thousands of more questions put forward in my mind. The answer would fit
in from many many directions.
Main theme is:
ULTIMATE GOD IS GOD OF EVOLUTION.
IT IS BECOMING THRO LIFE OF YOU AND ME AND US.
IT IS UNBECOMING BECAUSE IT HAS NOT REACHED THE CENTER WHERE
TIME AND SPACE DISAPPEAR COMPLETELY DISAPEAR.
GOD OF EVOLUTION CAME UP INSPITE OF DESTRUCTIVE NATURE
WITH EFFORT AND PAIN.
WHEN SOME LIFE SURRENDERS HIS EGO TO HIGHER EGO , HE GOES
IN JOY, BLISS OR ECASTECY DEPENDING UPON SPEED OF SURRENDER.
IT BECOMES THE JOB OF HIGHER EGO TO CARRY FURTHER TILL
LIFE EGO MERGES IN ME (God of Evolution)
ALL LIFE UNITES AS IT GOES UP PLANE BY PLANE.
THE UNION OF LIFE CREATES TRANSDENCE AND LIFE GOES TO
HIGHER PLANE WHICH IS LIKE PROCESS OF CREATING WHITE HOLE
WHICH IS OPPOSITE OF BLACK HOLE WHICH SCIENTISTS HAVE
OBSERVED IN SPACE.
BEFORE MOKSH LIFE LEAVES ANGER HATRED FEAR JEALOUSY WHICH
DISUNITE THE LIFE.
BEFORE NIRVANA IT LEAVES LOVE BHAKTI COMPASSION SHRADA
WISDOM IN BUDDHIC PLANE TO HELP THE EVOLUTION.
LIFE CARRIES ONLY CREATIVENESS BEYOND NIRVANA.
ULTIMATE AIM OF GOD OF EFOLUTION IS TO REACH SUNIATA.
SUNIATA HAS TREMONDOUS POWER OF VIBERATIONS.
WHOLE PROCESS OF EVOLUTION IS TO CONVERT MATTER INTO
VIBERATIONS THRO THE PROCESS OF LIFE.
HUMAN LIFE CONVERTS MATTER AND ENERGY INTO PART
VIBERATIONS BY THE PROCESS OF THOUGHT.

Michael Faraday was an 18 or 19th century physicist who studied the
effects of electricity, and magnetism on living beings, among other things. He
invented something called a Faraday cage, which is a metalic grid dampening
field. It totally stops the transmission of energy of just about any kind from
penetrating in either direction ( in to out, and out to in). It might be
helpful to look up the principles of its construction, and take that into your
body, to see how they can help you with this energy loss problem.

thoughts that generally arise during moments like these. I just read a

>wherein you completely give yourself up to the energy within.
This, however, is like saying "feel into the universal love which is you and
thus become enlightened". If you already can do it, it's relatively easy, if
you've never done it before it's almost impossible.
I suggest using a combination of free form dance and free form tai chi/kung
fu. No need to perfect the styles, just start moving and go with the flow,
let your body tell you where and how it wants to move. Once you can start
letting you subconcious/prana tell you how to move, you can start doing free
form hatha yoga, create your own mantras, ect. I firmly believe that this
type of "Kriyas" yoga is one of the fastest, most powerful ways to open up to
the energy, but is also hard to learn. Like discribing how to ride a bike in
a letter, one thing to say it, another thing to actually do it.
I'm very interested in how others learn/learned to enter into the Kriyas
"trance". I think I discovered it by a combination of drugs and tai chi, a
method I strongly suggest against for others, breaking the habits and
learning a pure way is almost harder than learning naturally from scratch.
It shames me when I realize I'm being slow witted or "stupid" because of the
damage I've done to my brain. When you loose a peice of your memory, you
can't remeber it, you can't judge how much you've lost till it's too late.

Hi,
Think this message has already been posted once before, (not sure though, with
all these incidences of electronics not linking the K-energy!!).
The explanation is as given below :
Hello all,

>Would be interesting to know the origin of the word kriya.
-----------------------------------------------
In Sanskrit the root word "Kri" means activity or action. From this is derived
the word "Karya" in Hindi denoting action.
>From this is also derived the Sanskrit word "karma" which means dutiful action
- or the effect of our action on us.
Kriya yoga technique is the latest of the many yoga techniques wherein you
completely give yourself up to the energy within. No need to assume postures or
any mental activity. The energy will manifest itself through you in the maner
best suited to you. This is because each of us come to this life with a host of
pervious impressions and "karmas". So in this the body could automatically
assume hatha yoga postures, can vibtrate, spin around, get heated or anything
else. These are done to tune the body to be able to fully minifest the infinite
energy in us and remind us that we are not the weak earth-clinging little homo
sapiens, but a spark of the universal divine energy. We are indeed made in the
image of God as has been asserted by the Bible and the Vedas alike.
Cheers and love to all
Ashanka

When I feel stuck in sadness, sometimes I find it much more useful not
to resist it but rather to go in and through it. Some of the Buddhists
like Joko Beck and Pema Chodron write about this. I might meditate on
the physical sensations of sadness as I experience them in my body or
perhaps understand that the sadness is not necessarily personal to me.
Not infrequently being very present with it breaks through to expanded
consciousness which then of course gives meaning to the whole thing and
takes me out of myself. Hope this is useful. Holly
