Dear Samantha,
Just keeping this short and quick I hope.
With Kundalini... look for, recognize... sweetness in all parts of your being and personality, physically as well as emotionally. Not sugary, syrupy sweetness, that is not what I mean of course. An energetic sweetness that you may have first felt when you fell in love with maybe a young girl or boyfriend, puppy love:-) Or the sweet, almost... horny, longer lasting mix of physical / emotional feelings. Or the erotic feelings one recognizes in more adult experiences of intense lovemaking. Initially people recognize or remember that energy only in or from one physical area... but women are luckier that men in that respect, being able to get lost in ecstasy easier and over a wider range. No matter what, it is energetic sweetness that you are looking for, always first on the physical side. It is the 'feeling dynamic of that energy' that is supposed to run our nervous system, all our various nervous plexi are supposed to be bathing in it. That energy usually gets dramatically disturbed, even shut down almost, in parts of our being, just like the impact of negative human endeavours on the earth's climate that affects the distribution of moisture throughout the earth's system negatively. Flow of rivers, droughts, floods, forest fires, etc.
When Kundalini starts running its 'energy restorative processes' through the body, it encounters the remnants of the blockages and disturbances, and attempts to flush them away. This may then result in the dramatic accounts that you hear from people (I had plenty). Not that one can or should bypass that, but rather than dwelling on the emotional drama which is of course OK for a while and rather interesting, when we understand the process we can promote 'better working mechanics', we can help K. along a less treacherous path. It's like hydro-dynamics.
The end result of the Kundalini process is that the original life energy (whatever that may be)permeates the whole being constantly, evenly, irreversibly and eventually unhurtably (cannot find the right word here). It is actually what we had one time as babies, but may have lost along the way by having been 'robbed' of or having gone through the ravages of un-human encounters.
Kundalini restores in all kinds of ways, depending on the kind and amount of violation and hurt that we underwent.
Anyway, the energetic sweetness.
Once recognized, one can direct that sweetness as though it is a cloud or an spiralling energy throughout the body. Use your imagination and visualize what works best for you. One is getting successful when one can reach as many parts of the body:
. from head to toe and vice versa,
. from left to right and vice versa,
. from the front to the back of the body and vice versa.
Of course breathing, yoga, grounding exercises, intense 'yawning-and-stretching', Qi exercises are excellent aids. But it is the sweetness one is looking for...
That is why the old literature always eventually talks about elixir, soma, ambrosia, mead, amrita. When one can locate these energy sensations throughout ALL the various parts of the brain and simultaneously throughout the belly and chest area one is getting there.
Do you sing or hum?
Can you weep or sob? That is good.
Do you dance, like belly-dancing on your own, that would be good.
You do not have to expect the outrageous things that I went though. My early life was very difficult.
You do not have to underrate the power of the mind, rationalization, (it did in fact work for me) as long as in addition you can be sad or happy or mindlessly crazy at times.
But always, even while you are sad, look for that certain sweetness (it is always there). There is actually nothing wrong with self pity or sorrow either. Al our normal human reactions have been so negatively judged and used against our selves, that we hardly dare to use any of them anymore and then... we expect that liberation has to strike us from nowhere... that is impossible. Go with what you get, your own feelings. If they are packaged in judgments that come from others discard the judgment and accept the feeling whatever it is. Even anger is OK, being fiery is, being over-enthused is, being rational is, being emotional is, being abject is, being bored is being tired... It is all good... The commentary that surrounds any of those sentiments from an discompassionate world is not good.
Well I'm just typing fast, not worrying too much about what comes out. I wanted to keep it simple and short. (Yeah right, sorry, Wim again.)
We have all the tools, the toolbox, even the key... We are allowed to use it all... the key works... The rust in the lock is just the judgemental garbage that has crept into, garbage from ppl. who do not want us to be successful, the sweetness is the DW40 that dissolves that rust (in Dutch 'kruip olie'). And then even the rust in that oil smells nice... like sweet almonds...
By the way, you notice I do not use words like the Goddess, Karma and the like overly, nothing wrong with them, but we may get into visualizations that may not fit you... I try to bring it down to the more elementary feeling of energy, what our senses sense without the cultural or spiritual embellishments... You will find your own... your own beauty... in all forms...
Love, Wim
