Dear Friends,
Kundalini Awakening is the beginning of THE JOURNEY and not the destination.
The terminology, the words commonly used to explain the process and experiences associated with the practice, may make it look a bit complex but in fact it is very simple and it requires not more than patience and a little regular practice.
Before I share, I would like to add a foreword.
It is all about entering the micro level from macro level of existence. The key is being effortless- harder you try, difficult it will be.
In initial days of practice one may have a feeling of being carried away with the waves of thoughts during practice with eyes closed, do not react to your thoughts because reaction will complete the cycle of action and a new action shall begin- remain calm and still- BECOME AN OBSERVER of your thoughts- non-reactive and non-judgmental. ACCEPT THEM.
It may have begin to sound very easy, but it is not so because BECOMING AN OBSERVER, is the toughest part to master. We can choose to close the doors and windows to escape the noise from the surroundings but we cannot silence the noise inside, because there are no doors or windows to be closed. With practice you can BECOME AN OBSERVER.
The Technique:-
- 1. Sit down with the both legs stretched in front.
- 2. Place the left heel at the perineum ( Space between the anus and the scrotum / end of genitals)
- 3. Place the right heel against the public bones just above the genitals.
- 4. The sole of the left foot should be closely in touch with the right thigh. The right sole should spread along the left thigh.
- 5. Keep the elbows slightly bend and place the wrist of the both hands with respective knees and Palms facing the sky.
- 6. Your spine should be erect and straight. The spine, neck and head should be in a straight line.
- 7 .Look downwards and bend your neck slowly until your chin touches the throat.
- 8. Keep your eyes closed.
- 9. Breathe smoothly and evenly
The time upto which you can comfortably remain in a yoga posture varies from individual to individual depending on one's fitness, age and will power. With regular practice it is possible to remain in the Perfect Posture (Siddhasana) for even a few hours. However, care must be exercised to check for discomfort during as well as after the asana. But 45 MINUTES with gradual practice is said to be ideal.
Benefits:-
- It awakens the Kundalini Shakti (energy channels) and stimulates the brain.
- It makes the mind attentive, alert and firm.
- It calms the mind, gives clarity and improves concentration and memory.
- It is excellent for increasing flexibility and curing stiffness in the knees and hips.
- It is helpful in relieving asthma, heart disease, blood pressure, diabetes, indigestion and chronic fever.
- It increases blood circulation in the lower back, pelvis and abdominal region and tones this area, resulting in better functioning of the reproductive and digestive systems.
- It also stabilizes sexual energy and sublimates sexual feelings. This is achieved by the position of the feet, which presses into the groin. Thus it calms the mind and eliminates sexual tension.
- It also helps reduce excess fat in the body especially in the abdominal region. It aids in better functioning of the digestive and excretory systems.
- This yoga posture keeps the mind focused because it requires one to sit upright. It is a posture suggested for practicing Breath Control (Pranayama), Concentration (Dharana), Meditation (Dhyana) and Self-realization (Samadhi).
- It purifies the NADI'S.
Do's and Dont's AND Contraindications:-
Do not practice is if you are suffering from sciatica.
Men who do not wish to practice celibacy should not perform this posture.
Tips for beginners: If you find it difficult to achieve this pose. It may be uncomfortable for you to cross your ankles at this angle, and you might feel pressure or a tingling sensation. In that case, you can use a pillow or a folded blanket between your legs to ease the direct pressure.
In case of discomfort one may alternate the leg which has to be raised.
This asana is called SIDDHASANA. "Siddha" means a Semi-divine Being with great sanctity, one who has attained perfection or attained spiritual upliftment. This posture gets its name because the person performing this pose attempts to emulate a sage who is perfect, a prophet who is accomplished, or a seer who is adept.Mastery over this asana helps one to acquire many supernal powers. While doing this asana, One must not force the body. Be aware of the feelings that the posture develops in various parts of the body. Close your eyes and taste peace.

Thanks for the info. I've had Kundalini releases before without meditation. I'll give this a try.
Depends?
How long do you want them to last before you take action?
Thank you Dawn, for spending your valuable time reading this post.
Dear Dawn,
headache???????????????????????
Devi.
All that matters is where you are where you are heading. When you focus your attention on another, you are following their path. You cannot know their divine plan, what it is they are here to accomplish, to achieve. You don't know what awakening they are going to have tomorrow because tomorrow happens to be their time.
The best you can do for them is focus on you. And on being the best example of what you belieev. And let the purity of your light do your talking for you. Because in focusing on one person, which dims your light. You may be able to help 10 who are ready to accept the brilliance of your light in all its glory. And then there are 11 of you that can better negotiate with the one, or two. Please hun, understand how this game is played. take the path of least resistance. And let the momentum of love the momentum of love the momentum of love work for you. Not against you.
I have lost everything many times. And what I have gained is peace and love. Ease and grace. And I will gladly git it all up again if I have to to get this result. Lose everything to gain love, no contest. Love every time.
Namaste
You gotta love the momentum of love the momentum of love the momentum of love the momentum of love the....
Dear Minerva,
the same limitation applies to me- i do not have good command over ENGLISH language.
but i believe i am able to express the essence.
what's your take?
I'd note that I have no intention of practicing celibacy, but even if I did... my obstacle to this technique is that I indeed DO suffer sciatica caused by a fall on my tailbone about two years ago, which acts similarly to Piriformis Syndrome in that sitting in any form is the most painful position I can take. That is why my computer is beside my bed, and not on my desk (which has become a storage unit lol!)
What suggestion would you have for someone who would have to go about achieving kundalini in another position? Perhaps lying or even maybe standing, but not sitting... and certainly in no position that requires celibacy as that is not my path. I am interested in this and would appreciate any suggestions that might help.
Dear Starseed,
This technique / posture is not only all about celibacy, this helps in treating premature ejaculation and wet dream problem in men- which happens because of too fast flow of "energy" towards the earth- the downward side.
Sitting postures are best recommended.
Can you sit on chair or in any manner?
Unfortunately no, not without pain. If having pain gradually grow worse in my lower back and down my right leg is not going to get in the way of achieving this, I'd say its worth doing despite the pain, as long as it doesn't take too long, but if I sit for too long, it becomes excruciating. Basically any pressure whatsoever on the spine from below as in with sitting causes the pain, but if it won't take very long to do, then maybe I can sit though... maybe five minutes or ten tops before the pain starts to get bad. What do you think?
I wish there was a way to do this lying down...
Note: I don't have any issues with premature ejaculation or wet dream ejaculations... xD
