Kundalini

An unusual word describing the immense power inside our bodies.
The Base Chakra is revered as the Seat of the Divine within us.
And that is a perfect perspective as we are Divine, because of the fact
that we are part of all that exists, a huge Soul operating a physical body.

The Kundalini has been symbolized over the ages as a Dragon and
Serpent, both have been applied to appear threatening while also
symbolising the reality underlying this truth.  It is a harsh taskmaster,
able to alienate and apparently destroy your 'normal'  life, it has
caused strong people to be detained in Mental Institutions and
brings with it as an attribute of itself a Resonsibility.  This is
as immense as the power that is available through learning how to
most effectively use it.  And, it is something that only the foolish
or most courageous would knowingly seek.

Without expert Guidance and preparations it would be madness
to attempt to raise the Kundalini on your own.  It is just too powerful
and therefore dangerous, to be playing with it.  For me, the Guides
spent a number of months in the slow preparations to the raising.
The work included experiencing my chakras, how they effect the
human body and how to open them to cleanse them before any
journey or meditation.  The raising itself was not Guided as our own
Self does what is required.  Very possibly each Soul will experience
the raising in the form it prefers, whether it is through using
Archetypes or other 'routes' that it is already familiar with.

Most Kundalini raisings bring the Power from the Base Chakra up to
either the Brow  or Crown Chakra.   The experience at the Brow Chakra
is considered to be at the awareness level of 'Christ Consciousness'.

Many people will experience Oneness with the Universe as a valid
reality.  With this comes all knowledge because at that moment you
are the Universe and you do KNOW.  You are the Divine Creative Awareness.  And you do not lose you uniqueness !  You are you,
everywhere and Aware of it all.

This is usually when people realize that they are the Higher-Self
and not just the little human soul.  It is when the bigger pictures
are able to be seen and understood.  A Kundalini raising will change
you but touch nothing in the world around you.  That will be the
first realization after the experience and sometimes the next will
be an understanding of the Responsibility to use this power for
effecting real change in the world.  Using it this way requires that
you learn how to handle and then control the Power that you
automatically tap into.  It is Fierce and shows no Mercy.
