Sitting cross-legged, with your mouth closed and your tongue touching the roof of your mouth. Your thumb and middle finger on each hand are touching above your knee.As you inhale, act as if you're bringing the breath to the base of your spine (allowing your awareness to follow from your nose to the base of your spine). Then, hold your breath for a moment, keeping your awareness at the base of your spine. Exhale normally.This exercise opens the chakras in order, from lowest to highest, and greatly increases available vital energy. It has many benefits. It's also quite emotional; it's said to help overcome trauma.
Bump.

>>41007695>with your mouth closed and your tongue touching the roof of your mouth. Your thumb and middle finger on each hand are touching above your knee.What's the point of this
>>41008491Tongue placement: touching the tongue to the roof of the mouth (often called kechari mudra in a mild form) is thought to “bridge” energy channels between the front and back of the body. You don’t need to force it; just a gentle contact is enough.Hand gesture: thumb and middle finger together (a type of mudra) is said to balance the flow of prana in the body. Often the thumb (universal energy) unites with another finger (representing an element) to channel awareness. Middle finger corresponds to akasha (space/ether).
>>41007695So what is this supposed to do for you?
>>41007695You forgot some of the important parts.
>>41008928Well fill us in on what they are.
will i know tomorrows lottery numbers and bring riches and bitches
>>41008947Relax your diaphragm completely and breathe in like youre supposed to- from your stomach. The abdomen should be expanding and contracting. Dont force the breathe, but breathe in right from the stomach/abdomen. Full breaths. Again, keep the diaphragm relaxed while doing this. Imagine that you have a hollow body made out of light, with a hollow blue tube, also made of light, running straight through the top of your head through your body. When you hold the in breath, contract the perineum muscles. Hold the breath gently, do not overdo the holds. Around two finger widths below the navel, visualize in the tube, a small red triangle/fire. With each in breath and exhale, visualize that the fire grows bigger and bigger, until it reaches the top of the head (it does not leave the body!) Imagine that the fire is pure hot bliss. Every time you breath, it makes it burn brighter and stronger. The fire must be red. At that point the meditation object is dual; The breath work (in, hold, out) & the fire in central tube. When you visualize/imagine, do not try to picture every detail. Dont try to picture it. Instead, feel that it is there, treating it similarly to how we remember things.
>>41009156Around the third or six breath is when you should visualize that the fire is all through the hollow tube. The fire/red triangle at the navel two finger widths below is not literally at the navel. It is in the hollow tube, close to the spine area. Again, do not visualize any organs, your body should also be imagined to be made of hollow radiant light.
>>41009156What is this? Tummo?
Good thread garrote thanks for the info
>>41009173All kundalini practices work the same. Hindu indians just got so fucked over by the british they forgot how to do their shit. The history of kundalini practice for hindus and Buddhists comes from a shared tantra lineage that resulted in the Hatha Yoga Pradapika. I am like the one person on this website who will give you accurate information about crap like this now a days. Anyway. The method is analogous to tummo, but this is because they are the same. If you dont know how to do the visualization and breath work, you wont generate the kundalini. More information now- dont cum. If you cum, the kundalini wont be as strong. When you begin to manifest the kundalini, proceed to move it up and down through the chakra areas. (It can do this on its own, but is better to do this deliberately).
>>41009205>I am like the one person on this website who will give you accurate informationLol I already don't trust you. Bye.
>>41009215Anything I say can be verified looking at older hatha yoga commentaries, including the newer one by swami mukthabodhananda. I am saying im one of the few people that will tell you the truth about this, because I am. Most people on here are larpers or indian haters. Including self hating Indians. Between that, you have people who believe in total nonsense devalued and desacralized hinduisms. A good majority of the time, kundalini threads here are nothing but wim hoff threads. Hoff is fine, but its not kundalini.
>>41009245will this pruduce siddis? how long till the effects take place
>>410094561. Yes, if you keep at it properly. Just be careful and dont go crazy, the initial phenomenon that begins to come on can be quite strong. 2. Depends on karma and strength of practice. Some people get effects as short as three days to a week. Dont "want" the Siddhi though, neglect it and just keep to the practice. It will manifest on its own if you dont try to chase it down, and it will manifest very very strongly. This starts when the practice begins to "click" and the mind is absorbed in the arising of the kundalini and the movement of it through the chakras. Treat it like any other meditation.
>>41009548so you have siddhis?
>>41009623Some yeah, but theyre weak because I dont practice enough and browse the board way too much.
>>41009632what kind of siddhis?
>>41009642Ability to "read" people. Some future dreams, one case of over telepathic communication. With reading people, I do this as a party trick sometimes. People either are fascinated or get very uncomfortable. Some straight up lie, but im almost never wrong. One lady, a new age culty type, I told her I saw red hand prints all over her, that were painful. Especially her back area. She got very quiet, then told me nothing like that ever happened to her. After speaking to her husband, he revealed that she was infact hit regularly by her last lover, some Italian weirdo.One guy I found the cancer in his throat, and saw he put thee pink plastic dinosaurs in his backyard. He was very amused by it. With a family member, I told them that their partner i didnt meet, was a dangerous pervert. They denied this. Five years later, they confessed that their now ex fiancé was a complete degenerate who used to threaten to beat them and kill their own parents. These area few of the more noteworthy stories.
>>41009692any book recommendations for practice?
>>41008500Where have you learned this anon?Is there a book that teaches this?
>>41009733For kundalini? Hatha yoga pradapika for a more in depth look at related practices to it. For the manifesting of it, any tibetan book that isnt behind an initiation restriction. (Avoid one's made by cults such as shambhala and NKT). For tantra, depends on your flavor. Youre interested in siddhis, youd do well to learn about Kashmir shaivism. Tantra illuminated by Christopher is a bad starting point for you in particular. Theres a different book by a fat guy i want to recommend you, but i cant remember his name for the life of me. Given that, go read tantra illuminated. Ignore his ideas on religious history. When done, pick up copies of the tantraloka. You will do your best if you do this AFTER kundalini. Not before. Maintain a consistent meditation every day for atleast a month, 15 minutes minimum. Hour is best. Avoid killing, lying, harsh speech, stealing, gossip, alcohol and try not to jerk off. If you can make it to a week, the energy will start to transmute. Once you have distinct kundalini phenomenon rising, go read books on Kashmir shaivism, starting with the two I recommend. I dont know if youll stay in hindu tradition, but this entry into ecstatic religiosity will be good for you i think.

Here is a shaktipat for anyone interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_9FUEJ2Ac8
>>41009979Fuck your bullshit.
>>41009972>any titleshttps://www.scribd.com/doc/250973285/Inner-Heat-MeditationStart here. Snippet from the book "how to meditate" by kathleen mcdonald. Presents a slightly more complex version of what i already taught in thread. I recommend staying with the simplified version i taught ITT. >Robert Bruce? Nah hes some other guy, I cant remember his name. Bit of a larper, but his book on Kashmir shaivism is extremely solid, and wouldve been a good intro for you.
>>41009982Fuck your ignorance.
>>41009874>>41010009Mark Dyczkowksi? I don't care much for his writing but he is a good speaker. >>41009733https://worldpeaceyogaschool.com/books/vigyan-bhairava-tantra.pdf
>>41009692You went from noticing past events to using law of assumption to manifest a pervert you never met.I challenge you to guess who I am then.
>>41007695>>41009156what if I have trouble keeping my legs crossed?like its tough keeping slightly off center so it makes it hard to relax
bros, I want to get into taichi, isn't it another way to move energy through the physical body?any good resources for me to start getting into it by myself?
>>41010949Fuck your lies. Fuck your larp. Fuck your parents for ever conceiving a shitstain like you. Fuck you.
>>41011062what book is picrel?
>>41010988No, he was much fatter and had a very larpy english-hebrew name he used outside of his sanskrit one. His book was wonderfully illustrated.>>41011112You do not want to keep slightly off center. YOU want to have three points of contact, specifically so that you have a supported lumbar and a stable posture. That means butt, feet/knees. Look up how to guides for sitting in half lotus posture. If you cant do that, try for burmese posture (one leg infront of the other). If you cant do that, sit in a chair. That said, half lotus is ideal if you can, has something to do with the energy.
>>41011250>You do not want to keep slightly off center. YOU want to have three points of contactthat's the point though, because of stiff body, joints or whatever, it gets uncomfortable really quickly but whatever, I'll look up how to sit properly
>>41011177Reee reee reee!!! I hate the truth!!!
>>41011274That word "truth" is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
>>41009874do you know of any tummo like practices that lower body heat instead of raising it?
I had an awakening after masturbating, thinking about a former classmate I liked.I lay down very relaxed and happy. I felt so much love for women, and I felt myself turn into smoke, flying through the darkness into the void until I disappeared
>>41009156Do I release the kegel when exhaling?
>>41008491this isnt even the way to do it for K practicescultivation of the central channel (shushumna)while only breathing through the (nose) channels that connect to ida & pingalathe olfactory nerves bypass the hypothalamus and are the only stereo-only nerve components with no center channel componentits one reason most K stuff you find online is half baked shit because they miss out on the little things like the nugget I just gave the thread
>>41009548>ust be careful and dont go crazy, the initial phenomenon that begins to come on can be quite strong.this is why you dont do K practices unless you have first cultivated the ability to achieve good stillnessneed to be able to integrate the energies raisedotherwise you may very well have a bad time
>>41011126make a tai chi thread, my guy
>>41011717just as the yin channels are used to heat things up, yang channels may be used to cool things offusing the arm channels, its kinda like shrugging a coat off your shoulders
Larp.
>>41014154I assume that this is the nugget you are referring to?>>41009874
>>41007695Isn't qigong better? I recall some practitioners claiming that kundalini yoga is like qigong which concentrates on forcing energy through one channel on improperly prepared practitioner rather than overall, balanced growth. That's why awakening of such often makes people go batshit insane.
>>41014496this goes for all active energy practicesbut K especially
if you activate unprepared, you'll end up like neetcheese except without the posthumous glory, just another schizo.
jfc why are there always fearmongering retards clucking their tongues and wagging their fingers?>hurrrrr you can't just awaken the kundalinistfu let morons brick themselves if they want to, if that's even a real riskyou don't actually care, this is just another way for you to act superiormind your own fucking business
So was meditating last night laying down, focusing on third eye. I began to feel an intense blanket/cocoon of energy around my body and I started to heat up; especially my face. I maintained this for a bit then broke because of the heat. What was this? It was intense but pleasant aside from the heat.
>>41007695ok, did the pose yesterday, it was fineyou're supposed to keep a leg above the other, not actually cross them right?
>>41008491Don't know if related, but pressing the tongue on the roof of the mouth is a way for me to keep from grinding my teeth, ie a nervous habiti can't even tell if that happens when I'm meditating though
>>41009156Very interesting. For various reasons, I've turned away from kundalini, but years ago someone had me do basically that exact visualization exercise, I bitched out halfway through because of some feelings of misgiving about it. She was familiar with these things, so it's not surprising, but still interesting sync to see. Beyond that some of your posts regarding siddhis and such I've had some mild resonance with. I'm not really sure what the point of my post is. Do you think this is something worth pursuing? I've seen what kundalini psychosis and symptoms can look like, so I've erred on the side of "well why would I need that kind of energy anyway". That said back when I used to do a bit more spiritual practice I had much stronger synchronicity as well as dream visitations and siddhi-esque things, but mild compared to what you describe. I suppose that was the most interesting portion of my life and I am in a spiral of stagnation currently.
