Man, it's been along time since I've visited this discussion board, but seeing as I'm ordering a couple paraliminals tonight I figured I'd stop in...
Reguarding Kundalini and such... I'm no expert but since pratcing some of the brain exercizes in 'stimulating the amygdala to shunt energy forward into your frontal lobes' as described by Neal Slade/T.D. Lingo (http://www.h2net.net/p/nslade/)
All I can say is holy cow, from people I've talked to and stuff I've read describing kundalini risings, I am confident I've experienced a few of them, I cannot say they were complete risings however as the never reached my crown. But WOW, it's incredable feeling this heat like energy force start ascending up your spine from your tailbone.
It's not like the type of feeling you get from being startled or by fight or flight response though. I'd suggest taking a look at that site. The site seems almost too simplistic but hey, it's working for me alright.
Basically the essence of the pratcice is that, by practiced visualation (sorry, my spelling sucks hehe Pete! Make a Spelling supercharger tape! Please! Haha) techniquies, and well, understanding simple brain pysiology you can begin to rapidly, if not on demand, achive the same intense mental states that yoga'sts and T.M'ers spend years if not thier entire lives in medation trying to achive. Pete, being someone educated, and experienced in achivement of trancendintal mind states and yoga meditation and kundalini experience and such, take a look and give it some honest review, I for one would be interested to hear your opinions.
