Pranayama Kundalini instructions

Thank you for writing me. I was thinking of you today, as I was
responding to someone else's emails. I had not heard of the "Salvation
Path Energy" until you wrote to me. I believe their energy connection
is through Reiki? I am happy you are exploring different spiritual
paths, as I did much the same even when I was new to my path.
There is only one God, and many are his names.

I am thinking it is similiar but I have been told by the
founders of it that it is a much more powerful energy than reiki.

There is always a new manifestation of God. Your own spiritual journey is totally your own. Evaluate everything on its own merits and take what you need of it to further your own journey.

I realize now that your path is a path of energy discovery. That is why I gave the Gayatri Mantra to you, because that will be much better for your discovery than the books titles I sent you. The autobiography will help you put your energy discovery in context with Kriya Yoga, which is the method taught by that school. Yogananda embedded spiritual energy in the book. It is stronger in some parts of the book than others. See if you can pick it up.
As you already have been introduced to Tantra through the 'Salvation Path', I guess its time you were exposed to a different aspect of Tantra. I am including a link to an ebook "Kundalini Tantra" by Swami Satyananda Saraswati.

http://www.eso-garden.com/specials/kundalini_tantra.pdf

Satyananda is the brother monk to my Guru. They were both disciples of Swami Sivananda of Rishekesh.

This is an example of white Tantra as is , whereas I teach a grey Tantra.

I am going to introduce you to a new aspect of energy that will help
in controlling and expanding your use of the energy.Shakti or power is
associated with the female side of nature. That's why we call earth
Mother Earth. Kundalini is feminine, as is the name Gayatri. The
Gayatri Mantra is the most potent mantra after the OM
mantra. Here is a link to a beautiful rendition

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW8IjcOWtlI

Here is the wisdom of this mantra. Gayatri is the triune aspect of the
Kundalini as it rises up and down the spine.
If you learn to sing this mantra, the energy will rise much smoother
and faster, particularly if you combine it with meditation.

If you are with people when meditating, you can sing it silently. Wiki
has a relatively good interpretation that will get you started.

I am listening to that now and it is beautiful, I will
memorize the lyrics and sing this next time I am meditating, it will
be tommorow as tonight I am not able too.

A bookkeeping question. Can I use some of your questions in a blog? it
will be helpful to others. Also, I would like to introduce you to some
of the people who have been writing to me. Perhaps you could help them
with their pranayama exercises.
you to spiritual seekers. is that ok with you?
It is an empowering process for people to gather around a spiritual
idea. the Buddhist term is the Sangha.

I dont mind at all, if it will help others feel free to im more
then willing. Could you give me a link to your blog, I would be very
interested in seeing it. Are you saying that I can help people? I
would love to help people but well, I dont feel I am experienced
enough. I mean you have been a huge help so far, im not sure I could
live up to you.

You are a yogi from a past life. You can do anything you set your mind to do. Your skills at teaching are dormant right now. They will come flooding back when you start.I will help you at the beginning, if you need, but I'm not sure you even need that help.
Just tell them of your experiences and show them how you did it. That's all.

I have a question, on youtube for instance there are people who are
interviewed after having "spontanious kundalini awakenings" , these
people dont seem to have any siddhis like the yogis do. Why is this?

You had a spontaneous kundalini awakenings. You don't seem to have any siddhi's or do you?
It is because they are best only an awakening. The awakening can be compared to the smoke erupting from a volcano before the real eruption. There is just no comparison. The carrot at the top of your head feeling you had was the clearing of the sushumma.

Once the Kundalini rises, the petals of the chakras turn up in the chakras that the Kundalini is in. If the Kundalini stays for some time in that chakras, energy starts to accumulate in the petals. It is like putting gas in the car. The car will not run without gasoline. The chakra petal (with the associated siddhi) will not operate without tejas accumulating in the petal of the chakra. The so-called awakening doesn't last long enough for the Kundalini even to rise to the chakra where the siddhi is located.

You may may noticed when you were feeling all these energy
shifts, you did little or no thinking. You were just aware. Sometime I
will talk to you about the energy sheaths that we are encased in.

Ya, I think you are right, I dont recall thinking much at all, I
was just enjoying the moment.

While you were in that state, you left the mind behind in the mental sheath and touched the bliss sheath. If you had stayed in that state for long enough, that would have been the first stage of Samadhi. As it was, you slipped in and out of that awareness. When you had a thought, you had to rise to the mental sheath, thus leaving contact with the bliss sheath.


You retained the breath without knowing that you did.. You should do
your meditation sitting up with the spine straight. If you cannot sit
cross legged, use a chair with arms on the side, so you can block
yourself in. There are important energy shifts if your spine is
upright.

So retaining breath, is that bad to do?
Retaining the breath consciously beyond your capacity to hold it easily is harmful. The sheath of the nadi is like a rubber inner tube. By itself, it can easily burst when too much air pressure is put on it. But if you put the same sheath inside a tough rubber outer tire, and then blow it up, the sheath can take hundreds of pounds of pressure, because the pressure is transferred to a much tougher material.

The much tougher material is the practice to build up slowly the length of time holding the breath. With practice you can hold the breath for several minutes and still be able to exhale slowly. To exhale the breath is a ragged stream is counter productive.

When you have natural retention of the breath because your consciousness is elsewhere, this problem is avoided.

Because I did hold my
breath for a minute during my meditation to see if I could get the
kundalini to raise a little more. I was locked in my bathroom as this
is the most priate place seeing as I have 2 bros and 2 parents. It was
late at night too, so I was sitting on the toilet cover with my hands
resting on my knees. I did have my spine straight im just saying that
when I would move my neck a force would move it back.

There will come a time when your meditation practices will take you into a very deep state where you absolutely will lose consciousness of your body. If you are sitting on the toilet top, you are likely to fall and hurt your body.It is better to sit on a pillow or mat on the floor with your back to the door or wall. Keep a separate clothe for this purpose only. After a while the energy will accumulate in the clothe and help your meditation.

awakening Kundalini

In one of the later chapters you will learn that by speaking the truth always, soon whatever you say comes true. There is a very important hint about the nature of reality and your own being that is being stated. It hints to the power of Tantra and the creation of Universes.

The first commandment to love your God with your whole being, means in part, to tell the truth as God tells the truth.
If you take to the practice of telling the truth, you will notice a dramatic increase in the tension in you relations to people. You will learn that sometimes people do not wish to hear the truth spoken. It is wise, when you learn that, to say that you do not wish to answer that question at the present. That is surely also true. It is by involvement with this process that you begin to see a different reality. You become more intimately connected with what is known as the hierarchy of Truth.
You bumped up against this hierarchy of Truth when when you went to the psipeg site. What was not said in truth was that the maintainer of that site was disillusioned with involvement with the site and answering the questions. Remember Sai Baba and his life? This is another version of that.
If you wish an in depth study of drugs, get a copy of Baba Ram Das's (Richard Alpert) 'Be Here Now'. In some sense, the Prana Water (algae water) is similar in the activation of the undalini, without the side effects.
What the Prana Water does is clear the nadis, so when the Kundalini awakens, it will travel up the Sushuma without being diverted to the ida or pingala. You will look those words up.

Your experience on the couch where you awoke the Kundalini, and it rose to the hearth chakra. Once there, it turned around and descended through the ida (left spiral around the center) to the base of the spine. Ida is cold, pingala is hot.

It is appropriate now to refer to a great book on Yoga, ;Autobiography of an Yogi' , by Yogananada. I'm sure the local library has a copy. In it, you will find that Yogananda had a similar experiences to yours.

If you read far enough, you will have context for what I am going to say to you. It should be clearly evident to you now that you have had previous experience with the Kundalini energy. You experiences are similar to a great masters' experience at about the same age. If you look at Yogananda's life from that moment on, there were still many experiences that he went through, before he could say he was realized. I will remind you that the powers and the experiences were secondary to the goal of Self realization itself. The 14th chapter deals with the state of Kaivalya (absoluteness). It was another 20 years before Yogananda was sent to the west by his Guru. And that only came after his realization. He did not even acknowledge his accomplishment to himself, until after his Guru told him he was going to America.

While you are at the library, see if you can find books by Catherine Ponder. 'Dynamic Laws of Prosperity', Millionaire Moses", etc. There is also some stuff on the web.

You will use the thought structures in these books, combined with the breathing techniques I will show you, to manifest money in your life. You will need it next year.

Let me close by giving you more information about the state of Kaivlya. The mind is finite (there are just so many trillions of brain cells) but the information about the universe is infinite. I did not know before I asked, the exact circumstances you relayed to me today. Nor did I need to know exactly. I could have entered into the space where the 3rd eye would open and I could read the Akashic record for myself. But that would be a waste of the psychic energy that I have stored up, compared to asking you. You need to look up another word, Tapas. Helping your friend with the Kundalini alignment took energy tha twould have helped with your Kundalini awakening, Was that the best use of the energy?

Oespensky's dream

Q Your reply reminds me of a book called " The strange life of Ivan Oskin" by " P.D. Oespensky" gave book away a while ago so I hope I spelled that right. Anyway the story is about a guy who makes a few mistakes in life and gets a chance to go back in time a "fix" it all up. I think he goes back 13 years? He wanted to go back for about 4 years but the magician he met said he had to go back longer as part of the deal. He ended up making all the same mistakes as before. Untill eventually, he was back at the magicians door inquiring about being sent back in time. He also had no recall of his first encounter with the magician...it was as if he never was

How are we to understand and become aware of the agreements between ourselves? I've only had one lucid dream and it wasn't very enlightening. It was a long time ago and precipitated a life ;ong adventure into the astral. I used a method by Castinada of looking at my hands, seems to work pretty good but once again, no insigt

I will work with your method and report the results. For whatever reason it always seems to get back to the "does it really matter" I mean does it? Who gives a flying fuck? I'm all about living the dream but I wonder at times about all the suffering.
I guess at the core I would say I want to help people and the planet but then again I have selfish thoughts and deeds so I must admit I am a big hypocrit and lier. This is what I have to work with and through. I guess there is always now 2.

A These questions are 'unanswerable' in the sense they can only be answered by yourself when you experience the emptiness of the mind. That is because there is something else besides the mind there. Disassociation from the body, Castaneda's trick, has a drawback in that your vision is informed by your disturbed mind. You leave the body but your mind is still active. Now that the senses  are quiet, the reality vibrates in sync with your thoughts. What you see is your reflected mind mixed w/astral

in Yoga there are the 5 sheaths. One of the final inner sheaths is the Bliss sheath. This is the covering over the atma. There is only bliss inside this sheath. But it requires that the mind be quiet, otherwise your perception is outside the sheath. The purpose of lucid dreaming is make the mind recognize that what it worries about is worrying about a dream that will disappear sooner than later. Why worry about something that is going to disappear? Ever gone by an empty lot, recently cleared?

It does not matter what was there, only that it seemed to solid and present. Now it is gone. That appeared to be reality, but was actually a dream object. There is a whole patchwork of dream objects that seem real now, but will be gone sometime in the future. These dream objects are whole cities, with people and cars and everything. How much attention should you give these objects? What if you were going to wake up in the next few hours? How about 5 minutes from now? 10 seconds?

You become more aware of these agreements that you have made as your mind detaches from desires. When you see the objects around you as more dreamlike then the agreements become more clear. You have to agree with other people all the time, otherwise the reality starts to unravel. Everybody has to agree that this is the reality over and over again. You can see how much consternation was caused when Copernicus said the earth revolves around the sun. He questioned the reality that the church had.

Oneness of God

The dual nature of consciousness is only on one plane of truth. The spiraling nature of images of truth gives you power over the dream-like state of reality, but must be given up in order to enter the presence of God. Then the idea of a separate self must be given up to enter the oneness of God

How to realize this

Q. Is this information even transferrable? Is this the secret of black and white, the microcosim and the macrocosim, yin and yang. The dual nature of our consciousness or is at simple as the purity and intention of Tipareth?

A.The info is transferrable in the sense that you make this awareness your own. The consciousness is beyond both form and non-form. Consciousness can be dual, can be single, can be multiple. Whatever image is placed in front of the Consciousness, it takes that image on. When the image is removed, the consciousness reverts to the void. Here is the key to meditation Use one image to remove all the other images in the mind. Take the one image away and only the void remains. Then remove the void.

How Tantrics veiw the world

The issue with the future, with the present , with the past, is that everything is in flux , in a greater or lessor degree. The reality we see in front of us is really an agreement among individual souls or jivas. Because we are in an environment where Christian thought is dominant in the reality we see, then Armageddon must come to pass in some way. In Revelation, the one horn comes back from the dead. Bush is the horn that comes back from the dead.

Q. So it would seem that all states or realities are some form of fluidic predestination? How does this correspond with free will? If I were to do something drastic at this moment would this not change reality to some extent? Is matter even reality for that matter or is the reality you suggest illussory in nature? Hope this doesn't come across wrong cause I don't know shit.

A.Yes. This is really strong stuff we are talking about. You always have free will. You can choose to be with this reality or another reality or even make your own universe. I remember a guy who wished for an entirely different reality, and the next week he was dead from a heart attack. When Sanji (the guy I was studying with) told his wife he had chosen a new reality without her, she was totally pissed. So the free will that he exerted made him leave this reality for another.

The trick is to change things a little bit by cosmic standards and so modify this present reality. In order to do that, you have to continue with some agreements with other Jivas, or you will go to a different reality. That choice(s) means that the machinery of the illusion will have to turn until that different circumstances that you pray, image, appears. It's kind of like a rubix cube.This is the essence of the secret. With tantra, those thoughts of change are augmented with symbols, mantras.

The view of the Tantrics is this reality is only a longer dream than the time we dream. In our dreams, many things happen. In the morning, when we wake up many times the dream is not remembered even. It is the same with this dream state we call reality..

The Tantrics are awake to this dream, and the reality of God is omnipresent to their perception. There is nothing so powerful as to perceive this for yourself. I have a short video about Lucid dreaming. If you do this practice you will be able to see these changes for yourself. Use Prana water to shorten the time to fulfill this process. Drink it 1/2 to 1 hour before you go to sleep. You will have extremely vivid dreams.

When you realize that you are dreaming, say out loud (in the dream) 'show me the illusion'. Remember whatever appears that this also is just another dream. This awareness of the dreamlike state of any reality, when it really take hold, reduces your desires. Why would you struggle after anything when you know that it will disappear when you wake up. There is one thing that doesn't change though, no matter what dream is before you

That is your state of awareness, which always is the same. You become extremely interested in that state, and spend time exploring that
