Thanks for the interesting report.
I first thought of Sahaja Yoga when I read this. I remembered how they had
described K as been a cool energy when I attended one of their events out of
curiosity.
Before, I had known K as a warmth or heat as it pressed on blockages or
later with the effect of Tummo as stuff gets burnt. I'm speculating that
anger or frustration (maybe suppressed) may contribute to a hot feeling.
Last night I was feeling very hot in my head (too much thinking and working
till 1:30am). I decided to rummage about for the cool snake. It's there! It
appears to start at the left at the base of my spine. I worked with it to
feel it more fully and had a sort of 'flooded' experience of K right through
me, forgetting everything (at least for a while), in a balanced and calm
way.
Nice experience :)
