(- Since the first try has not been posted, I try now again.)
Hi
I cannot label my 'thing' as kundalini.. there is no spine as an
exclusive highway for energy trafic. However there is sensitivity to
the bubbling in the lowest "chakra", lifting itself to top of head,
or sometimes just the top& above head 'buzzes'.
I have been sitting for many years.
My female partner (we do not live together) is interested in the last
couple of years, but is most centered in the
emotions/romance/physical contact need; While my attention is more
drawn to the upper areas,.. heart, top of head..
When once in a while we sleep together (I do it out of love for her,
to please her), I find it rather uncomfartable.. (the one-to-one
model is the one she loves, while I Do need the Space around me or
rather being the Space and (while awake) meeting her in that
Space,).. and a living being next to one make a bit too much 'noise'
unfortunatelly (and I do not mean just the snoring.. ,I do not quite
know why she thinks that's terribly nice & romantic.. to me when you
sleep, you sleep).
She accepts most of the time not sleeping in same bed,.. but she's
not so happy about it,.. I guess one cannot expect her to understand
if she does not experience it herself.
I just put a picture before you.. and any comments/pointers are
appreciated.
