Greetings all,
I also have been lurking a while and am ready to come out too. I have lots of questions and look forward to dialogueing with you all. First I'll give you a little background. I have been interested in mind/body/spirit ideas since I was a child and got more serious about it when I graduated from college practing primarily Yoga and Guided Imagery meditation. I started studying Qigong and Healing Touch about six years ago and at first didn't really feel energy. As with any skill my sensitivites have steadily increased over the years.
Currently I enjoy "experiencing" Holotropic type of Breathwork, and I was told some of what was going on with me was that my K was rising. I'd heard bits and pieces about Kundalini Energy over the years and last Spring started reading more to discern the difference between K energy and Qigong E and I am still not clear. This is one question I would like feedback on....What do you see/feel are the differences? (I know this is vague, I have read the K-FAQ).
For me, I've not had any dramatic situations occur yet, though.....Fall of 98, I started to notice: ringing in my ears that would come and go and change pitch; I would wake up with intense heat; my heart was beating rapidly, even while resting/meditating; my Left toe started tingling and was feeling some numbness. I didn't freak out, from what I read it could be related to K rising and that felt like what was going on. I still wake up hot occassionally and have the left toe thing, my heart has calmed down and the ringing? It's either not happening, or I am just used to it. Last summer I got really sick with a "mystery illness", that was kind of like a dark night of the soul time, where I surrendered my will and asked for guidance for my life's direction. What I got was that I was help bring more awareness to the mainstream about energy and healing. I have been teaching more classes introducing people to Qigong and their self healing potentials. I am feeling a lot more energy and a deeper connection with my higher power.
Another question..."What 'defines' a K awakening?"
I have been doing more research on the web as I am very hungry for information, and that's how I found you all....
And Mystress A's meditation.....I am enjoying doing this exercise and find it is very similar to some Qigong exercises, though it has been more powerful for me (that shakti-charged thing???). I definately feel the tinglies and peace in my heart.
That's it for now....When I remember my other questions, I'll start a new thread. Blessings to you all! Kat
