Namaste,
today i was doing a kundalini yoga pose where you open your arms then bring them out in front of you till they almost touch, and i pushed myself pretty far and afterwards, i felt ALOT of different energy (prana vs kundalini you could say) super strong in my stomach just energy and then above that a sort of fire energy- not nessicarily Hot, but expanding and dancing the way a fire does, this lasted maybe 10 seconds or 20 seconds..
did anyone else experience this? is this what kundalini feels like? so i just need to keep pushing more...

Re: was this safe, normal, experienced by others?
Thu, April 17, 2008 - 7:43 AMThe asana as described would open up the heart, so the energy you felt seems about right. As to whether it's safe, you need to be sure to do such an exercise as part of a set of poses that work the entire body, not just one part. Do the sets from the books in the order given, do not skip exercises and do not go beyond the suggested times.
Kundalini energy coils up the spine. Think of how a chill runs up the spine, and that's the general area where you'll start feeling it, but the feeling is stronger and can grow to encompass the entire body as well as the radiant body.
If you want to awaken the Kundalini, I'd suggest covering your head and doing Sat Kriya every morning. Start at 3-5 minutes and work your way up to 31. -

Fri, April 18, 2008 - 6:18 AMthank you geo. about sat kriya- when are you inhaling?
i tried the exercise again. this time, imagine static electricity moving about, like one of those electric globes wher you touch it the lightning concentrates on your finer, i felt that moving up my torso and when it go to the heart they were more intrense, bigger lightning bolts so i didnt really want to hurt myself and stopped.. again the effect lasted 20-30 seconds this time before subsiding..
i am doing the heart chakra balancing kriya prescribed by anmol mehta. anmolmehta.com/blog/2008/...-exercises/
a good site
thanks for the reccomendation :)

Fri, April 18, 2008 - 12:07 PMI do know the heart chakra balancing kriya, and the energy you feel seems about right. The electric effects are just the feeling you get when you make new connections and/or open up old pathways. The effects do subside eventually, but as you build strength, just follow your instincts and don't overdo it.
Sat Kriya - there's no prescribed place to inhale, just do it and your body will figure it out. I usually inhale before "Sat"
