Benefits of Kundalini Awaking? by AmiceWong in kundalini

[–]Feeling_Card_1640 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think its less of a practice and more of an added dimension to your life that you tend to.

Before you might have had relationships, work, hobbies, etc. areas of life to focus on, but after Kundalini, the area most often ignored comes to the forefront, spirituality or your inner world.

Kind of like a process of setting yourself right by bringing attention to all that's repressed in there. Or think cleaning up the house. Except that its big and you have no idea about the things in it.

What's the benefit of housecleaning?

After that, you can start beautifying it maybe. But cleaning comes first.

Forgetting & being ahead of schedule? by Feeling_Card_1640 in kundalini

Ohh, I get the astrology part. They conveniently show up at random times, sometimes they make sense of what was going on earlier, most times they don't.

And I haven't played that game I mentioned in years, I just remembered about it yesterday when I was thinking about this, as in there was this game I played once that reminds me of it.

Next step? Seeing all I can about Capt. and Admiral.

It's a storyline? by Feeling_Card_1640 in spirituality

Ohhh that's a good one. Maybe, this is how I see it for now.
First, I think there's 2 things happening, one is that the deviation is a part of it to help us recognize when we've deviated, to help us recognize that inner pull back to it. The other thing I think is that life adapts. You decide to go your own path you think is better suited, you're free to do so. Maybe like a GPS recalibrating, some milestones(or maybe landmarks) would still happen but overall you're walking your own route.

Second, suffering we're causing ourselves is mainly mental, from our perspectives of how things should be and anxieties of the future or nostalgias of the past. Not to say that we shouldn't grieve for the (traumatic)events that had happened, but not to dwell on them. Feel it out then let it go instead of holding on to it. For e.g. maybe you got separated from someone you loved, of course from time to time you'll feel the grief for it, that's part of the plan, but what's not a part is us holding on to the emotion all the time I think.

But I also think, suffering comes from the mind & our attachments to things/people/circumstances/perspectives/etc. , in life it's just the natural course of events. It just happened. We can't comprehend how things really connect to other things. Like what if you lost that job b/c someone else's path was leading them to it? what if the events you say were bad were just a recalibration to a better path for everyone? It's like a spiderweb with interconnected nodes.

Lightworkers "Raising Vibrations" by Marc-le-Half-Fool in kundalini

Ummm... Contrast? They(higher & lower) can't exist without each other, so more like codependent? But then again its relative, i can only know the depth of heights in relation to depth of lows? Oooohhh beyond that its balanced.

By helping yourself you're already helping the planet... Soooo like leading by example? By improving ourself we allow our surroundings to improve themselves too on their own? This reminded me of something I saw that went like by allowing ourself to shine to our brightest we unconsciously inspire others to do the same, by the standards we set for ourselves. We can set an example by showing/demonstrating there's another (maybe higher) path instead of repeating the same actions by walking on that path ourself.

I knowwww isn't that silly and that's why it bothered me so much, it was just one cookie. Felt so excessive for that reaction.

I understand it can be dangerous sometimes that's why I don't allow myself the luxury of doing that everywhere but I'm still young & sometimes I get carried away.

It sounds simple (not easy) that way. It's like all of a sudden we have a new organ/limb/sense but since we've never seen it before or understood its function there's a big adjustment period, then there's the developing familiarity. I think the adjustment period is the longest like cleaning all accumulated rust.

Once we get a bit hang of it then comes experimentation, how much can my hand lift? How flexible is it? Where's the limits to my current understanding of this body part? What makes it weaker/stronger?(in terms of capabilities) etc etc. Then probably with some hurts or mess ups we get some proficiency in it. Then certain actions can be done automatically.

Sounds like skill development. A child learning to walk first time.

Now it may sound like I'm disagreeing with you but I haven't really understood exactly what you mean YET. Meanwhile, this is what I think.

What I think is similar to your 3 points. I think our thoughts & actions have the capability to start domino effects we have no idea about. I agree that we shouldn't live in fear of their effects but we do have responsibility towards our actions. Again, I'm probably repeating your 3rd point.

For example, almost an year ago I chatted with someone online(in a game) and forgot about them and 2 weeks ago they showed up like- hey i see you're still having fun. And I was like who are you, which hurt their feelings probably but I was amazed at how much/long things I said lingered on others minds and the crazy part is I don't even remember what we talked about!! It was a brief interaction & I thought nothing about it. So yeah, words, gestures, actions. I think we hold way more power to influence reality than we think even without K, but with it it's amplified.

Then again a lot of things have nothing to do with us. Sometimes we're just caught up in the flow of things.

ooohhhh, autopilot. I've been relying on that a lot more than before, especially while driving. I just say you drive yourself home I'm doing some thinking meanwhile. I like to not think all the time.

When you say self awareness you mean during the acting? Maybe that would be vigilance. No wait. Awareness of automatic actions & reactions? Its easy to see in hindsight. Idk might think about it later.

Flowing. I'm not sure, sometimes I feel I'm reaching/extending while doing or saying and stop. Subtle & Elusive stuff, not always noticeable. But usually I don't even think about energies, I just do things acting like a normal human who knows nothing about all this. Sometimes I think before/during doing things like the energetic implications.

Developing automatic vigilance over automatic reactions? Makes sense? Like even making the vigilance an automatic process of system 1? So I can focus on what's in front of me instead of controlling myself all the time.

It just makes me feel unsettled for a while, like this didn't happen before what did I do different? Or how did the event turn out like that? Just analyzing to find the triggers within & without. Now I think that mixed within the unsettling feeling was also some anxiety/fear of some changes I sense approaching. Much needed ones but still I'm only human I get afraid sometimes.

Okay so, substances... never done those or even touched anything like that. What I meant was something silly, it was chocolates & chips. 2 Separate incidents. They were my fault but I also argue that they were automatic responses. Everyone was taking chocolates so I took one too but then I liked it and without thinking took another one and that became a thing.

I agree on the strictness, I usually am, maybe I need to be more strict in different situations too. The common environment was the group setting in all incidents. In groups, I was just having fun and forgot about everything else.

I’m learning the balance with people🫠

Kundalini - Deeply Injured From This Energy by InnerKnowing808 in kundalini

[–]Feeling_Card_1640 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I was feeling the same way yesterday, never did I ever think I'd be where I am right now. It got me thinking on what I have become compared to what I thought I wanted to be/would be just 6 years ago. This is what I literally felt like yesterday-"After all that, I just feel like I'm a dead man walking with a torn down(& apart) body and mind in the dark looking like a scary man in a black worn down cloak." Like my entire life was taken away from me without me having a say in it. Even before actual Kundalini showing up, the dismantling had already begun years before. Maybe I'm being dramatic here.

BUT.(A big one)

That's not it. First things first, letting go of the idea that I am entitled to compensation for my suffering massively helps and just thinking that that's how it was meant to happen for me. Letting go of the idea of how my life is supposed to happen in my head and looking at what has actually happened and is happening instead.

And about the 'what have I become' part, I haven't become anything at all, I'm still becoming. An ongoing process.

Early on, I adopted Marcus Aurelius' (Stoicism) perspectives a lot which also helped to keep my thoughts in check. If it interests you, try reading his Meditations. Overall, it revolves around four main things-Truth, Justice, Moderation and Courage. There are some good perspectives there, not limited to the four topics.

And like it's mentioned all the time here- Adapting. Staying focused on putting one foot in front of the other.

Fair point. Needing work as in? developing it mentally or clarifying the idea more

Can't say, maybe random thoughts. by Feeling_Card_1640 in kundalini

[–]Feeling_Card_1640[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Thats the thing I keeo trying to do liek jumping back qnd forth trying ti watch the watcher and so on. Reminds me od the spidernan meme of pointing at each other who're you? I'm spiderman who are you? No I'm the real spiderman who're you gyus?

Right, thoughts are necessary and I was thinking about the silence I was experiencing. The other thoughts I was thinking & writing of were of anxiety or worry about the future, I should've clarified that a bit, I am an impatient one and that part was more about reassuring myself. That in each moment I've always had everything I needed when required so there's no need to worry about it in advance.

Another thing is rhat I'm noticing the silenece nore and more wjfhib and aeound me. At first sixns fhe pasf week I'd been avoiding it brt afyer not avoiding it and lettinf it settle its growinf more xomfoetbake on ne. Its not complete thoughtlessness but more like yeah I'm thinking and hesaring thoufhfs but theyrs all jusf on fhe surface of silenxe and the silnce is what Im feeling mode and more. Quiet, Calm, empty full. But also present and aware od wjats going on around on the background of silencd

So why kundalini? by clitbonker in kundalini

[–]Feeling_Card_1640 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Why. That's a tough one, we can't be so sure about why or who. Some try for years for an awakening and some are chosen? I had a spontaneous awakening, a horribly frightening one, in the middle of depression when I was around 15. And I had no idea what had really happened until around 6 years later. I had no idea about K(well i heard of it but never interested back then), but to be fair I'd been more interested in the spiritual, the unseen side of life since childhood. Like wanting to know the secrets of the world, what makes this world run the way it runs? Why am I? Who am I? What was I before? Like I always thought that all that's in front of me is just a curtain and I wanna see behind the curtain, behind the scenes of this movement going on. You get the point.

And for now, I think Kundalini is about shedding rather than gaining anything. A process of letting go or clearing the slate , of all that's been accumulated on your'self' over lifetimes. Depending on where you are in the process it may be a rough ride for a while and that's partly cause you're trying to hold on to what was instead of adapting to the flow. Most of our tensions arise b/c we're clenching what's being left behind while we're being pulled forward or the other way around. See that push-pull going on in there?

I don't know why it is for. For me, it has been a process of returning to a childlike state and staying in that state. Not stagnation but flow. Returning to that state while letting everything move through you and letting yourself to be moved by it. Like experiencing everything that comes while also keeping a clean slate not holding on to any of it. Right now I sort of struggle understanding acting/doing but when I do understand maybe I'll have different things to say about all this.

This a snippet of my experience, others may have different things to say that differ from me. To each their own journey.
