There are about 9 holes in the body that you need to close if you want kundalini to move up. ask your Guru he will be able to guide or find one :) lov Thu, 17 Sep 2009 00:54:21 GMT http://kundaliniyoga.tribe.net/thread/fb07ca4e-1ceb-4d06-9b46-030d6b24f21f#bb469066-a130-45f6-ac89-b53fe6e813bc Raj 2009-09-17T00:54:21Z http://kundaliniyoga.tribe.net/thread/fb07ca4e-1ceb-4d06-9b46-030d6b24f21f#43774a79-e255-4cd9-a9f4-f87f8ab9ffa2 "Additionally, Kundalini Yoga is a lifelong PRACTICE during which, if practiced under the right conditions, the yogi will most likely experience all manner of physical and subtle physical discomfort." I'm convinced a thorough approach to kundalini-yoga practice can avoid almost all of the negative side-effects one hears about. They are not -inherent- problems but are the result of specific conditions which can be (and should be) addressed. From what I've seen, most modern systems labeled "kundalini-yoga" are not nearly as comprehensive as the classical approaches of the Natha-marga and Vajrayana.

If you are comfortable interacting erotically with gay men, the Body Electric workshops are supposed to be pretty amazing (a bit out of my means). It could also help immensely to pick up Alternate Nostril Breathing (google it).

Additionally, Kundalini Yoga is a lifelong PRACTICE during which, if practiced under the right conditions, the yogi will most likely experience all manner of physical and subtle physical discomfort. I have heard of and experienced similar sensations. But the most important thing, no matter what, is first, to visit your instructor regularly. If you do not have one, then you should find a qualified instructor and sit with them in meditation when you can. Second, practice meditation in 15 to 60 minute sessions once or twice every day. The effect of proper meditation and yoga practice is cumulative. Physical or subtle physical pain and discomfort are minor distractions. Pay them no mind and they shall pass. Do not practice unsupervised.

I feel a 'spike' or a rod or just a line running through my body and down to my perineum. When I try to raise my energy, from the lower regions it allows the spike to push deeper dragging me down with it. I can't express myself with this post/spike/rod/line whathaveyou pinning me down. does this sound familiar to anyone?
