On second thought, classic Kundalini theory posits that there are
72,000 nadis, (etheric nerve centers) in the human body, and that
they must be purified before attempting to raise the K through the
Shushumna (etheric spinal column.) The way to purify the nadis is
through a breathing process known as pranayama. You might want
to consider this before going any further. I told you to go with the flow,
but I don't really know you as an individual, and I don't know just
what your particular needs are.
A good all around book on Kundalini, asanas and pranayama is
"The Illustrated Book of Yoga" by Swami VishuDevananda. You
can order it from any bookstore.
By the way, could you privately e-mail me and tell me what it is
that you do to get those "ripples of energy rising" because that
sounds pretty good to me, and I'd like to do the same.
Thanks much...
