  Dear Ben, List,

  This statement intrigued me--given that my experiences to date have been so
  physical. I'm wondering how you got to the place you are, and whether you
  feel it is a natural progression of the K process.

  Has anyone else here experienced this kind of emotional detachment? And if
  so, how did it affect your close relationships? :))

  Love, Hillary

  During my first experience with Kundalini I went through most of the same physical establishments that many go through.
  I was able to raise Kundalini and pass complete through all the chakra and back again to a unified condition.
  I also study Tibetan Buddhism and understand that Kundalini is just one way of achieving enlightenment but it is not to be dwelt on, as an end goal.
  The process I learned through Tantric teachings and practice is that Kundalini Yoga helps one to know the chakras.
  I maintain, as do Tibetan Buddhist of the tantic type, that the chakras are psychological, their mirror image being in the body.
  Kundalini can be brought into mind. Which is not the brain. But the consciousness or what some may term the 'soul', which is a word I use with caution.
  When a connection is made between the Kundalini of the body and kundalini of mind, Kundalini transmutes into simple stillness, calmness and nothingness.
  In this state I can then proceed to the next step. Which is knowing that mind as it lies naked. Or, knowing the mind in it's nakedness, which is on the path to liberation, or
  freedom from sagsara. To dwell too much on Kundalini is not good. When I hear about people who have psychological or emotional problems which are long term as a
  result of Kundalini, I know this is because they have stayed to long with Kundalini as a physical manifestation alone. Like a bad trip, or come down.
  As most of the founders and older teachers of Kundalini have explained, to seek Kundalini in the body is failure. To not recognize the chakras and Kundalini as being
  psychological is failure. Failure to understand that it is only by mind alone that the illusion of actuality is allowed to exist and not the nature of reality which is what one
  seeks to find. This is only obtainable through death or through liberation, which again as had been said is knowing the mind in it's nakedness.

  Someone recently asked me the same question about how it effects me in this world. The answer is simple. I still emotions like you or anyone else does in this world.
  I can still react exactly the same way I did before my experience with Kundalini. Nothing about me has changed. I have just learned something new...or something very old.
  There is also no emotional detachment. Nothing it detached. It is simply brought under control and used in ways that one can not discribe by anything earthly.

  Hope this helps

  Ben
