Dear Toshi et al.
What actually happens with Kechari Mudra is NOT ONLY that the tongue cleaves
to the palate or roof of the mouth, as you point out (commonly, and
rightfully so, martial arts masters direct their students into that
direction), but also that the soft palate retreats. It physically 'pulls
in' for a short period of time (seconds to hours), thereby making the space
(akasha) above the soft palate accessible to the tongue. The tongue then
tends to want to touch, vibrate or lightly massage the bottom of the boney
support of the brain. The resulting vibration, (which also can be brought
about (although more lightly) by snoring, humming, Tibetan chanting,
singing, the AUM mantra, sounds made during sexual intercourse) leads
towards feelings of:
.Ecstasy :-)
.Orgasmic feelings in the upper part of the body and head :-)
.Exalted rapture :-)
.Fully integrated physical, erotic, volitional, emotional, expressive,
inspirational, conscious human/divine bliss :-)
.Conscious participation in divine reality and divine activities :-)
.Acute consciousness of immortality :-)
.The experience of divine glory :-)
Kechari mudra as described in Hatha Yoga Pradipika is an artificial
(effective, but not recommended by me) way to bring this about by gently and
over time severing the bit if tissue underneath the tongue, in order for the
tongue to reach behind and above the soft palate and to bring about results
that are nearly identical to the experience of amrita and rapture
(experience of immortality and highly ecstatic states) that come with the
natural Kechari Mudra. There is a danger here, as one can easily suffocate,
fall into a state of mortal fear and also, of course, there can be
manipulative tendencies involved that can lead to 'self-absorption' and
'exclusivity'. The natural Kechari Mudra is more, if one can say so,
unconditional, it flows from or goes hand-in-hand with unconditional love.
The forced version is more masturbative. Not that there is anything wrong
with that ! (Seinfeld). When Kechari mudra is brought about naturally, there
are no dangers. So far I know of four people, including myself, who have
experienced Kechari Mudra the natural way. There must be loads of people
who could be ready for this. That is why I write about it.
After the Kechari Mudra experience, which may happen just once or more often
(there is no significance as to the quantity of occurrences), bliss becomes
irreversible as a physical change has taken place in the integrated human
being. At least, that is my experience and the experience of two of my
correspondents and from some literature.
The spine, pelvis and shoulders will curve and move differently, almost
always in a gentle curvy/wavy motion, the muscles seem to be breathing. The
nerves feel very vibrant and 'candy' like. Sexual intercourse may be less
sought after or if one wants to maintain it :-), it will take on an enhanced
functionality leading into the various different levels of Samadhi with...
the partner. These Samadhi states can otherwise be brought about by the
transcendent practices of meditation, yoga and tantric techniques. I suppose
what we have here is a total integrated human/divine love, at once from the
most gross and physical to the most subtle and spiritual realities.
The aura, the subtle energy field that surrounds the human body, is very
much affected as well, as blobs of the aura get parted off and are emanated
into subtle energetic realms of higher dimensional extensions. I myself get
the feeling of the creation of souls or angels. (Well, if that sounds silly,
but just bear... or laugh with me.) In the traditional yoga literature I
believe that the Uddiyana Bandha is a description (though poorly translated
and understood) of this experience. In Tibet there were monasteries
specialising in the creation of souls through these techniques. If you guys
won't ridicule me :-) I can write more about it, but it is a sensitive
issue. Has a lot to do with conception, the embodied soul or 'en-souled
body', the male and female role in the conception of a human being. There
is more to the sperm and the ovum than sees the eye!!! :-)
Another thing that can result from this Kechari Mudra, (but it can be
effected by different dynamics as well) is the flow of amrita (nectar).
There is very little physical separation between the third ventricle in the
brain and the space (akasha) below it. In fact, when there is enough
cerebro-spinal-fluid (CSF) pressure built up in the spinal canal, the
meninges and the other ventricles (by the way, these ventricles are not the
same as the nasal cavities) some of this CSF will eventually drip through an
aperture from the third ventricle into the back of the mouth cavity often
onto a part of the tongue that, when touched, produces a sense of sweetness.
This sweetness as sensed is called soma, amrita, ambrosia, nectar, elixir,
food of the gods etc. Not everybody who experiences the sweetness senses the
nectar drop. Also, on the other hand, some people experience the drop of a
phlegm like substance, but it is often mistakenly diagnosed as post nasal
drip, or just phlegm without cold symptoms. The nectar flow usually results
from a very well functioning spine, when the hips, pelvis, shoulders and
shoulder blades are moving, undulating and rotating unhindered and... a
healthy, very loving life. In my experience and that of three other ppl. I
know (one female), sexual fluids take on a different role in the functioning
of the male and female body.
Love, Wim
