info requested: spinal sensations

[Gandalf]

Hi:

I don't really do much in the way of energy work (although i wake up with vibes now and again), but I did stumble on an interesting sensation:

What I do is concentrate on the length of my spine and imagine energy coursing up it, from the base up to the back of my head..
When i do this i start to feel a ticking sensation that develops into a wave that goes up my spine.. it is a tickling sensation that comes in waves and the sensation makes me laugh... literely!!! I find this great fun!
At the same time i feel the beginnings of a kind of pressure around the top of my head (the crown chakra?).

I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar to this or knows what is going on.. also what would happen next if I went further with it.

Cheers,
Douglas

I do the spinal bounce thing every day myself. So far I've taken it to the squirm in my seat level and sweating. I get the waves rushing over the crown also. I've played with this spinal heat/electricity for over 18months now-and I'm  still NOT psychic LOL . This is in conjunction with NEW Energy ways also.  I'm aware when I first started I was attempting to raise kundalini. Hell I got a great sex drive out of it. But I stopped trying that explicitly.
Mr Bruce might be the best man or I've seen Leo Volant talk about this I think.

Sounds wonderful.

For me, I work with TCM/taoist yoga type energy movements, so I would complete the microcosmic orbit...by bringing the energy down to the third eye (upper dantien area), down through the mouth, touch the tongue to the roof of your mouth to connect the energy circuit, down through the throat, thymus, heart, solar plexus (middle dantien area), down below the navel to the lower dantien.

The circuit moves actually from, oh, depending on what you're doing, from your lower dantien, through your genitals, pelvic floor, perineum, and up around to the sacrum, up the spine, base of skull to top of head and down and around to the lower dantien.

Thing is, if you're raising Kundalini, which I know little about, bringing energy down is apparently bad. So...grain of salt time, right?

How familiar are you with yoga? The highest purpose of yoga is to "charge-up" the spine with the kundalini energy in order to attain samhadi (enlightenment). The force needs to be great enough that it clears all the blockages in your energy system and finally pierces your 3rd eye, then ultimately, your crown. The pressure you feel in your head signals the beginning of the process. A process that's easy to start, but takes a hellova lot of work to complete. I'm working on it myself, and a great deal of patience is needed.

Im not sure if this sensation is related to 'kundalini' energy in any way.. it is a tickling wave that gives a kind of squirming tickling sensation that makes you chuckle!
it goes in a wave up the spine, but particularly from the mid region upwards.

I don't do any energy work at all, I don't practice yoga.. I am involved with 'phasing' (monroe term) a form of astral exploration, but this doesnt require any kind of energy work or knowledge thereof.. I found this particular sensation purely by accident.. also I am suprised by how easy it is to bring on.. even sitting here typing this i can focus on that region of my spine and bring on the start of that sensation.

I've read that kundalini energy spontaneously releases emotions such as laughter or crying..

I was talking with an acupuncturist I know because I've been concerned about the ramifications of teaching someone an energy system quite different than Kundalini if they've been raising energy by Kundalini methods.

He said you don't need to worry about teaching a new safer way to work with the energy. The downward force is not bad.

And that where people end up with a lot of troubles with Kundalini practices is when their bodies are not adequately prepared for working with fire energy and then the energy goes blasting blockages all the way up to the head. Some people end up not a pretty sight, apparently, because damage occurs inside to the nervous system, brain included.  Loopy tunes.

Adequate preparation rules!

Oops, now that I'm done my ranting, and I do agree with Nostic. And alexd I love your signature line: Take and transmutate these leaden grudges into GOLD, I'd say that's energy movement Gandalf!

Do you think it's linked with your APing? Can you take that energy and drop it down to a location about three fingers beneath your navel and about the same distance inside your belly? That's a great and safe place, the lower dantien, to store energy.
