Kundalini and Chakra

[Shin]

On several websites I have read that the Kundalini is connected to OBEs, is this true? While doing my exercises, I started to believe in this because of the similarity. For example, after a while, all of a sudden, my heart starts to beat very fast (yet I am neither moving, nor scared or anything). I can only explain this with the Kundalini and Chakras. There also are other examples, one being this weird, calm feeling after trying (and failing xP) to induce an OBE. I feel very calm and my mind is generally very sharp. So, is the Kundalini somehow connected to OBEs? Or is this just coincidence?

Your heart beating faster is an indication of Fear, whether you believe you have no fear or not. Most people are unaware of the baggage/issues lurking inside them from being suppressed for so long. The Fear is of the Unknown.

The calm feeling is from practicing, you relax and do your process for OBE and this provides a nice warm, Calm feeling.

The Kundalini resides in the Base Chakra. Most people only ever experience it in moments of Anger.. you know that powerful feeling you have when very angry?

I don't quite see how OBE is connected to the Kundalini, although it's power can be used at any time with enough practice. When talking Kundalini, we are expressly talking about the Power within you that goes untapped 99% of the time.

If we consider the Base Chakra to be the 'Seat of the Soul' within the body, then we can more easily understand why our inner Power resides there.

You can do many things with this Power, mostly mundane things to experience it first hand, like using it to warm yourself and others in cold conditions... one of my favourite party tricks, lol.

But we should understand there are no limitations to what you can do with it. The raising of Kundalini is something many people are interested in, but should not play with until they have someone with experience, or their Higher-Self, guiding them through the process when you are ready for it. Otherwise you may risk self harm like so many others who are marginalized in our society or within Institutions.

This doesn't mean you cannot play with the Power of the Kundalini, and by the word Play I mean to experiement with it externally to effect natural things, ie:- like bringing a cooling breeze or rain when you are hot, like directing it to further empower healing work, etc. Play and discover for yourself some of the things you can do with it.. without having to raise it to the Crown Chakra... it is there to be reached for and used anyway.

How? Just imagine the Base Chakra expanding inside your body.. see the red ball grow large in your mind's eye, and you will feel the heat of it rising as you do so. From there follow any insights you get for things to do with it... these will come from your Higher-Self anyway.

Let me finish by reiterating this one thing.... do not attempt to raise Kundalini to the Crown Chakra without firstly being prepared by someone who really does know what they are talking about, or, by your Guidance.

I know, I already read that it can be really dangerous. I read about a guy who was doing it and then suddenly started vomiting blood or similar things untill he asked his teacher or so for help (he already had one, luckily).

My kundalini raising was really physical - my chakras were closed at the time and I had no guidance or anything like that so when it came up it veered off to the side. I thought I had broken my back, but I was eventually able to redirect the energy all over my body. Unfortunately my awakening drove me insane eventually, but I'd gotten over it by continuing to work on myself <-- this all happened over a year ago.

Sounds scary... The Kundalini is really fascinating, but it sounds too dangerous :/ I doubt I'll ever try to open my chakras or anything because guides probably charge money too and.. I am not sure whether the Kundalini and Chakras really exist. Right now I do believe into it, somewhat, but, you know, there's this thought in the back of my mind that I might be wasting my money.. and even if I'm not, then getting used to the Kundalini sounds like a torture itself.

Yo Shin.

Don't bother yourself with kundalini, you're still green like myself. First you must do some energy work and open your all chakras completely.
