When is one ready for the kundalini?

[heter]

Hey

I was wondering, how do I know I'm ready to raise kundalini for the first time? Also, would I need to fast prior to this process?

[OrionsDream]

I dont know a lot about kundalini, and i'm sure its been discussed A LOT so would any1 mind giving me a link to something discussing kundalini? I know some, but not as much as i'd like to.

Your rdy for kundalini when you think you are. I have no idea bout fasting though. any1 else got ideas?

Greetings!

I think if you are wondering if you are ready, then you probably are!  I don't think it works for you if you aren't ready anyway - so there is no harm in trying.

As for the links to more info on this, sorry can't help you.

Have fun!

Hmmm.   What type of meditations are you doing now?  
(Just asking)

Keep in mind that 'kundalini' can be more than what many bargain for.


Lets assume for a moment that you have a car and it runs fine, at 60 MPH, on a well maintained highway.   Now take that same car drop an engine in it that will do 200 MPH and drive it on rough uneven terrain.
If the tires and wheels are not perfectly balanced you will have a rough ride and damage the shocks and brakes and probably the engine mounts.
If you already have some of these problems they will be increased exponentially.  If you have any transmission problems they will be exacerbated and decrease the life of the transmission.   This is just car.

Imagine what it could be like with that type of energy in your body.  It would be imperative to make sure that YOUR vehicle was in tip top condition including your mental and emotional equiptment.

My opinion would be to be a little conservative in experimenting with Kundalini untill such a time that my VEHICLE  was tuned up.

THis seems to be the prevailing wisdom   However, this is akin to all the mystical websites out there saying that AP is ONLY for the MOST spiritually advanced, or that there are "negs" in the "Astral".  A bunch of Cr*p if you ask me, but most sites say something along these lines.

Nothing is going to happen to you my friend.  There is a big sticky post on this in the energy development section that I responded to.   It feels like someone played a trick on you and is electrocuting you.  A HUGE rush of energy rushes through your spine.  

However, what do I know mine was a spontaneous EXPLOSION of energy called upon by Mary Jane.  I don't smoke marijuana anymore, but that month I did I had Kundalini about 4 times.

It is about as subtle as a bull in a china shop

how can you be so sure? My diet could be completely different from yours, or your chakras could be much more developed, there are too many factors involved for you to claim you have the definite answer. Have you heard of other peoples personal experiences with kundalini awakenings? Or is this just based on your own personal experiences?

[CaCoDeMoN]

I think that there are some requirements for kundalini raising:
-nearly absolute thought and emotion control
-good level of development of energy body
-higher than usual level of energy

However, what do I know mine was a spontaneous EXPLOSION of energy called upon by Mary Jane. I don't smoke marijuana anymore, but that month I did I had Kundalini about 4 times.

I don't know who this Mary Jane is, but if you had smoked marijuana then it was probably nothing more than a trip. They add many strange things to marijuana these days.

or that there are "negs" in the "Astral". A bunch of Cr*p if you ask me, but most sites say something along these lines.

Why are you so sure about this? Why then some of my friends who have never used any drugs and never heard anything about Negs/OOBE or metaphysics at all had some encounters with Negs in physical reality? Why their cats also saw these "entities"?

[OrionsDream]

I think the basics for most anything is what caco said,
"-nearly absolute thought and emotion control <-------
-good level of development of energy body
-higher than usual level of energy "

not somethin some1 can just want to do and do it ez...

does marijuana affect kundalini? i have absolutely no idea, but sounds like it might confuse the person with a 'trip'.

[CaCoDeMoN]

Not really, gaining control of thoughts and emotions is very easy and is well worth of achieving, not only for improvement of metaphysical abilities but mostly for everyday life. If you want I can give you link to Vipassana meditation book that was excellent for me.

I've nearly had the Kundalini raising with the help of Lucifer, but I thought that I am not ready and asked him to stop. The feeling was undescribable, hot like molten steel, but not painful at all, just powerful.

[OrionsDream]

Yeah, if you dont mind sending me that too, sounds cool.

I dont think gaining control of thoughts/emotions is a piece of cake, but meditating and stuff didnt help A LOT for me. I had to just work on it everyday during the day, not like serious down hard, but ya know.

p.s. does kundalini cause stomach aches? just wondering i heard that somewhere

[CaCoDeMoN]

Probably not.

Please take note.  I did not state that AP was only for spiritually advanced persons.   There are, in fact, dangerous practices in any type of human endeavor including mental and emotional and spiritual practices.  If many of these applications were easy then the world would have many more spiritually advanced person than it does now.  

It is also a know factor that psychedelics can mimic but not accomplish some forms of spiritual phenomena.  For this reason psychedelics are a dead end, and create an illusion rather then establish a form of revelatory conciousness.  Not all ventures into the 'other world' are a higher form of conciousness either.  As each person is different in all human factors from another so is the path of spiritual development different for each person.  We each face different challenges and have different strength and weaknesses, different talents and differnt fallabilities.

Here in this forum most of us do not know one another well enough to act as personl guides or instructors.   But a few things are going to be true.
It is best to have a strong and healthy body and a well balanced mental and emotional life with a positive outlook, before attempting some rather esoteric spiritual practices.
