Kundalini

kundalini is the serpent energy that lays dormant at the base of the spine
it can be opened by spiritual practices and a heartfelt desire to know the truth
or by transmission from Guru or many other less pure means such as drugs, reiki and tantric practices...
a shock to the system can also awaken kundalini --
when the goddess energy is aroused, all sorts of havoc can come forward as mental holdings
for lifetimes are unleashed and burn in the fires of Kali --
these impressions or vasanas rise forward and are in the face constantly ....
when kundalini is active, there is an opportunity to clear away all of the mental dross very quickly,
if this pure flow of energy is grounded in Gurus grace and transmission and the seekers heart is sincere...
Kali is shakti -- she lives in the manifest and unmanifest as the cosmic divine force of creativity --
eternally present within each soul .. when dormant, the vision is externalized ...
when active, consciousness is opened and many experiences come forward to show that one is
not the body or the mind, and ego is not the true commander in no way shape or form...
Kali can, as Guru says…."be your worst enemy or your best friend"..  depending on where the focal point rests...
within a heart and mind that is surrendered, there can be progression towards liberation and a clearing away of the mental dross...
if the mind is attached to obtaining powers and harbors misguided motives or consumed by fear, then indeed there can be
a very different outcome as more dark energy will be born...
this is how it works .. where the focal point is, the mind will create more of the same and
shakti is very creative indeed and worlds within worlds can be born with no end ...
this is why it is so important to have the right foundation in place...
if the heart is indeed sincere then the anchor is to be within the heart and the practices as this
keeps kundalini in balance...
one is not to feed the rising phenomena or give it life in any way...
but to stay grounded in the practices, balanced breath and pure experience of what is taking place
in this moment...
the goal of kundalini is liberation -- like the snake eating its tail...
mind consumes itself this way until no energy is left there
and only  everpresent stillness of no-mind remains
with no more thoughts or phenomena to rise and overshadow pure reality...
this is why Kali is the destroyer as she will keep going at it until the head of ego is fully
severed and mind is no longer its playground..
indeed a true awake kundalini runs 24/7 ... there are no breaks.....
some of the spontaneous phenomena that can rise up
** kriyas, mudras, asanas (involuntary movements )
**spontaneous verbalizations and mantras
**speaking in foreign tongues
**visions
**seeing flashing lights and colors
**seeing auras
**perceptual shifts (feeling taller or smaller)
**shifts in consciousness
**emotional shifts
**the nad (hearing bells, ringing, birds, clapping, popping sounds)
**heightened hearing and vision
to name just a few....

it is important to eat meat when kundalini opens as it gives this potent energy something to chew on
and helps tremendously to keep one grounded...
otherwise the mind can get airy fairy and way off on tangents...

kundalini can be a great boon if the right direction is in place and one is willing to follow thru
with what is given and be open up to letting go...
