Kundalini Rise Resistance

This is an experience of a student which I replied to. I wanted to share this on this forum.Kundalini /MeditationDean inquired:This morning doing my kundalini exercises, I observed(physical eyes closed, peering down into the body,watching for kundalini) an outline/ faint reflection of myself doing the different postures as I infuse the body with air. Feels as if I am in a dark room and everything I see appears as a photo negative. As I completed the exercises, I felt very slight upward movement of kundalini travel along the spine and as if it was the dimmer switch was gradually being turn on then suddenly shut back off as if it did not have enough energy to sustain itself. Immediately after, I laid on my back on the floor with my legs rested on the bed to meditate. With my attention on the front of head, I observed an enormous cloud of haze in the darkness approaching me that alternated from purple to green and vice versa. As I retracted the optical energy going through the physical eyes, I could see a faint outline of the third eye which came in and out of focus. As thoughts appeared, I could sense there was a picture flickering in the background but I could not see it. What suggestions do you have on what I should do in that space?Dean wrote:With my attention on the front of head, I observed an enormous cloud of haze in the darkness approaching me that alternated from purple to green and vice versa.Response:This is the third eye and this kind of behavior in the frontal lobe of the brain, as you peer forward, is always the third eye.The movement of dark energy which is either moving away from and coming towards and then disappearing is the movement of the third eye’s energy field in a particular dimension. When the third eye opens, it does so at this same location and the dark energy suddenly clears off and one see clear space and perceive into other dimensions or worlds and sometimes even into this dimension.When that clearance takes place it will be just as if you are looking through a window on a clear day and you will see into other dimensions. It will be as if suddenly a hole was cut into your forehead or between your eyebrow and you saw directly through that opening.How long will this last?It may last for minutes but in most cases it occurs for seconds only.It will feel as if you are a little man in your head looking through an opening into another place.There is another type of third eye opening where the dark moving energy clears off and one see a tiny star in the distance amidst a dark blue or light blue atmosphere. The star may then recede away from you at rapid speed or it may come towards you. If it recedes it will usually vanish in a split second, but at the last moment before it vanishes it may increase in glow and seem to turn on edge a little.If you read Mahayogin Paramhansa Yogananda’s book, Autobiography of a Yogi, you will see that he places much stress on peering at this star in meditation and if you ever find the logo of his Self Realization Fellowship they use this star on a blue background.In the kriya lineage from Babaji, this star is the point of focus, since if one can stay in touch with this star one can reach the divine beings and all the great yogins who ever lived on this planet, and one would get experience of what it would be like to live in a divine world.Unfortunately many persons who read Guruji Yogananda’s book never did see this star, what to speak of making a steady gaze at it. But the reason for that is that one has to really go up to a high level of consciousness, and must master samadhi as Patanjali describes it, to see this star.___________________________________________Dean Wrote:I felt very slight upward movement of kundalini travel along the spine and as if it was the dimmer switch was gradually being turn on then suddenly shut back off as if it did not have enough energy to sustain itselfResponse:Kundalini will always try to back off because it feels comfortable in its habitat which is the lower spine, the sacral area of the backbone. It also likes to be near the reproductive power which in the genital area. Therefore kundalini will always try to back off.If you were to draw of picture of yourself as being the I-self + the sense of identity+ the analytical organ + the senses+ memory+ the life force, you would probably look like those electron microscope images of sperm.Stated differently you would be head and tail. That tail part is kundalini and it wants to continue being a tail.Question is: Can you stop it?Answer is no. You can purify or clear up and remove the resistance in the passages which it travels to reach the brain and other paths of the body but you won’t change its basic configuration.Suppose we have a seven story building which is build from sea level upwards. How will be get water to the top floor. Water is stubborn and it won’t go up just because we chant a mantra over it or do a ritual or order it to ascend. So we have to pumps it up. Still for that to work we have to have some pipe system and we must also make sure that the pipe is not clogged.If we establish an unclogged pipe system and get a reliable pump, then our objective would be realized.The problem is that when we found ourselves in this body and when we decided that we wanted more energy to reach the brain from kundalini, we discovered that the pipes were clogged. We also realized that the pump did not have the required horse-power. It has enough power to pump to the second floor. In fact the pump was weird originally in such a way that when we try to use the second floor the power from the pump increases and it comes out like water spewing from a city fire hydrant. In other words the system was designed for maximum flow at the sexual organ.So then somebody else said that if we just go up to the 7th story, the head and just visualize water coming up there, it would come up. But of course we are not magicians so that did not work except in our imagination.Yogi Bhajan then came from Punjab in India and said that somebody showed him a pump system which works but we would have to prime the pump before it would begin to push up the water. So that system is breathe of fire.But some people tried breath of fire and got no results and when they went back to Yogi to tell him what a scam he was describing, he asked them if they have shut off the lower faucets. So they told him that they were not aware of any such faucets. He then showed them the lower locks at the anus, perineum, and navel and the neck lock and third eye concentration lock.Some persons returned to practice and were successful but some others went back to the yogi and complained that they never found the locks in their plumbing system. Then yogi told them, that in that case, they could construct such locks and then apply them.So if kundalini rises just slightly, that is better than if kundalini does not rise at all. Always increase your confidence when this happen. It is a cause for celebration.Here are some of the common reasons for kundalini’s failure to reach into the brain when it rises:1. Failure to apply locks.2. Failure to infuse breath energy into kundalini.3. Passing off sexual fluids in a recent sexual intercourse.4. Blockage of passage in spine, preventing kundalini from travelling upwards when it attempts to rise upwards.5. Lack of focus of the infused breath energy.6. Defective lungs which fails to absorb the breath during breath of fire practice.7. Stunned kundalini, which was affected by drug intake.8. Bad air in the atmosphere, such air would not have the required energy influx from the sun and moon.9. Lack of mental focus such that when kundalini is infused with breath energy, it remains in the base chakra in a scattered configuration.All of these reasons either collectively, in combination or singly could cause kundalini to rise just a little and then subside. However these little rises are important and if one keeps practicing this will progress into intense infusion of breath into kundalini with subsequent full ascension into the brain.____________________________Dean wrote:I could see a faint outline of the third eye which came in and out of focus.Response:In the future please note the shape of the outline. If it is indistinct or do not have a set shape report that.____________________________________Dean wrote:What suggestions do you have on what I should do in that space?Remark:Whenever you have this experience, the first action should be an attitude of non-inference. If you interfere by any mental action, then you might find that the experience is immediately reduced and that it simply disappears.You should remain quiet and observe, just as if you were the witness to a murder and was afraid of being discovered by the criminal who was carrying both a pistol and knife.If a tiny blue-white or white or crystal white star appears keep your focus on it but that focus should be slight, because if your energy carries a possession attitude the star will immediately disappear. To master this slight focus practice staying in the back of the head in naad sound or in proximity to it.If you have the black darkness with the energy moving at the chakra, then notice the formation and movement of energy and record the experience later.According to Bhagavad Gita one should focus between the eyebrows.You would achieve visitation to a transcendental world and also spiritual stability and upgrading if you focus there on the blue star or through the open space. But if your focus there is just on the dark space there, you will gain concentration focus, centering of the visual power and ability to always attract kundalini into the brain.
