As a Taoist master with awakened kundalini, there’s nobody in the world more fit to pronounce authoritatively on this.

On the other hand, he’s busy….so hate to bug him….

Can you recommend an overview somewhere?

There is just enough equivalency between the models to tempt exchange of ideas, but not always enough to really do anything about it 🙂

According to yoga, kundalini goes up the shushumna, or the central spinal channel….if it’s functioning properly. If not, you can have…[Read more]

And it’s on a very steep upturn right now. Sages from different traditions seem to agree (though with different reasoning) that we’ve entered an age of spiritual acceleration, where it’s easier to get stuff going. I’m no sage, but I intuitively agree. Even from the most prosaic level -…[Read more]

There are all sorts of descriptions floating around, but the one that rang most true for me is the feeling of every cell in your body being in a state of continuous orgasm.

The other thing one reads that’s turned out true is…[Read more]

Since it awakened, I’ve practiced yoga in a way that includes a few kriya techniques in order to have some small level of control and insight over it.

I don’t fully understand what Kundalini is, intellectually, though i could easily restate lots of stuff I’ve read. And I have no idea how it…[Read more]

If there’s a moderator who can move this, I hope they do!

As for anger, I live in NYC, so anger coming up is indicative of nothing but being alive and breathing! 🙂

But I wasn’t fishing for proof that “I’m right”. Just interested to get at least some basis of agreement that what I powerfully intuit might not be entirely nuts 🙂

My feeling is you can’t really do all that much from the strictly gross level. Spiritual systems that have you enter via the gross level seem to do so as a…[Read more]

I just came upon the following Michael Winn quote, which seems to indicate he feels the same. He’s speaking here of breathing rather than qigong movements, but I’d be pretty surprised if he’d say this doesn’t still apply:

They learn to inhabit those empty patterns, and then, in time, learn to “add” intent and attention. There’s no shortcut, unless you have an innate sense of your…[Read more]

What I have trouble with is that a given motion creates an effect…just like that. If that were true, traffic cops and violists would be creating all sorts of energetic mayhem for themselves day after day (that’s not the crux of my point…mostly just making a joke).

Anotherwards I believe it to be a relationship. The actual doing of the Qigong is the cause (yang) and the opening or awareness of our chi (subtle body) is the effect (yin).

But perhaps you are getting at something else that is not as obvious.
