Dear Mark,
:)) And we're so glad you're here.
[ This period began
what I call "the shimmering," which is what I still feel 18 months later
when I wake up at night or early in the morning – an intense, sometimes
astoundingly blissful energy that connects all the energy centers from
my crown to the base of my spine, infuses every cell in my body, and
seems to be cradling me.]
This is a wonderful description! If you can locate a book by Krishnamurti
called *Krishnamurti's Notebook* you will recognize that he was experiencing
the same powerful ecstatic energy.
[(I've had some astonishing visions while in
this state!)Â And now, especially after a kundalini experience, I am
able to make one or another chakra (except third eye and crown) almost
explode with energy if I focus on it.]
Do you want to share any of these visions? :)
[ My breathing changed,
seeming to pump this energy upward, slowly and steadily. When it reached
my heart I felt as if I had melted in glorious surrender. Then onto my
throat chakra, which burst forth with energy, as if it were singing a
tone. Then the energy seemed to change to become dramatically "finer" as
it entered my head. My breathing became shallower and quicker, and the
energy because almost exquisitely fine (very hard to describe!). I
thought I had stopped breathing, yet discovered that my breathing was
almost imperceptible. I felt as if I had entered a vast space without
sound or thought, filled with an almost indescribable peacefulness and
power, somehow with a "sparkle" quality to it. (Words cannot do this any
justice!) ]
You are doing a pretty good job, though! :)) It's fascinating how the
energy tells us how to breath and how breathing can be so integral to the
experience!
[Since this initial salvo, I have had a similar "energy rising"
experience perhaps 8 or 10 times. Each is different, yet the overall
pattern is the same. About two weeks ago, I read Lee Sannella's book on
Kundalini. I then found this list and read a couple hundred entries, and
went through another K website. So my "understanding" based on these few
readings is very limited. I can only go with my experience and my
gut/heart.]
Well, you seem to be doing just fine! :)) For awhile I was reading
everything I could lay my hands on about the subject. Books really do help,
but nothing takes the place of your inner understandings. The fact that you
have realized the energy is "intelligent" and have found the strength to
surrender to it with gratitude has helped to let you to experience it in such
an incredibly blissful way. The chakra work probably *did* help, also.
[My sense is that my opening is ongoing.]
Looks like it! :))
[ I've not experienced
any blinding flashes of light, communicated with other beings during
this time, nor have I had any pains and discomfort. My sense also is
that my two years of "chakra work" paved the way for something much more
intense, which is just beginning. For all this, I am certainly thankful,
and at times slightly apprehensive about what I may have unleashed. But
I feel some comfort with this list -- it's nice to know that I'm not
just "going crazy."]
Well, I don't think you need to be apprehensive. There are many of us who
have had "easy" pain free awakenings. Each one of us experiences it somewhat
differently--but somehow we recognize each other's experiences. As if we all
have at one time experienced it all.
[My feeling for life is one of profound gratitude. I feel that I am
surrounded by grace and beauty, by unbounded love and mysteries. And I
no longer have the need to change people. We are, in ways I don't try to
understand, all one, yet we live with the illusion of being separate.
The only way I know how to deal with this paradox is to see others with
my heart, with compassion.]
Yes! I whole-heartedly agree!
[So, that's my brief tale of movement toward awakening and, perhaps,
awareness. As I said at the beginning, this energy path has been
remarkably pain-free, at least thus far. I'd love to hear your
reactions, cautions, etc., and any suggestions about further learning or
work. And I'd be happy to fill in the blanks or to answer questions.
Thanks so much.]
Thank you for sharing! Welcome to the K-list!
Love, Hillary
