Arousal from Birth

there are very few people who are born with an aroused kundalini, and they can be divided into two main categories. in the first category, there are the people who are born with a partial arousal of the kundalini. people like these are called saints, and this may be the reason why their process was not completed in previous lives. the second category consists of people who were born with a completely aroused kundalini.

such people are called "avatars" or incarnations. they are calm, detached from material issues, devoid of worry, full of love for the universe and for human and non-human creatures and possess a lofty spiritual stature. as people who are born to be metaphysical teachers, they have a clear vision and a high level of philosophical awareness.

Veda methods of arousal

the vedas teach us basic methods for arousing the kundalini ~

behakti yoga
behakti yoga is the path of devotion, and it is meant for people whose hearts are more developed than their minds/intellect.

jenana yoga
jenana yoga is the path of wisdom, and it is suitable for people whose minds are more developed than their hearts.

karma yoga
karma yoga is the path of unselfish action, and it was created for people whose hearts and minds are equally developed.

hatha yoga
there are many people whose hearts and minds are not sufficiently developed. for this reason, guru Gorak and others developed hatha yoga during the middle ages.

mantra yoga
repeating a mantra is a smooth method that is devoid of risks and can be extremely powerful.

raja yoga
this is the "royal path" that is usually reached after hatha yoga and veda methods have been practiced for a reasonable length of time so the mind becomes steady, the action of the karmas is neutralized and emotions are purified.

tapasya - the path of ascetic simplicity
vasana and samskara are eliminated by observing ascetic simplicity.

pranayama - deep breathing

aushadhi - the use of plants
(cannabis and lsd are not substances that can arouse the kundalini)

laya yoga
people whose chakras are not open...
over-arousal of one of the centers is liable to cause pain and confusion, and conversely, it is liable to spark powerful lusts.

kriya yoga
kriya yoga is a safe and practical method that is not in conflict with the mind. it is more suitable for people who lead an ordinary lifestyle, as opposed to raja yoga, which is suitable for purified people (satvis) who have a high level of self discipline.

tantra yoga
this is the quickest way to arouse the kundalini, but only if the practitioner understands the two principles of nature - shiva and shakti - correctly, and after he has succeeded in rising above lusts and is not longer in thrall to urges.

shaktipat
samadhi is experienced through momentary arousal, when an expert guru transmits his vibrations into the practitioner by means of a touch or a glance, a string of beads he holds in his hands, a flower, a piece of fruit, a handkerchief, a dream, a letter, a telephone call, and so on, according to the method he employs.

kundalini yoga is a combination of different and important types of yoga, and for this reason is suitable for everyone. it develops the individual equally in the four directions: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

(a song about kundalini arousal -- comparing the movement to a train, or express)

This is an announcement
For the transcendental run
The train now standing
Leaves for higher planes
Due to a derailment
There will be no other train
So why not hop on this one?
Hear the porter's glad refrain

Each carriage is connected
As is every single train
The rails all form a track
Which is a link within a chain
The chain's connected to another chain now
You will need no ticket
If you wish to ride on this train

All aboard the express kundalini
All aboard the express kundalini
All aboard the express kundalini

The song is in your heart
Your heart is in the song
The song is of the earth
The song is of the sky

You are disintegrating
Into everything around
Reintegrating
The worm we dug from higher ground
You have let go of ego
Ego is no longer you
Closer to nirvana
Since the porters whistle blew

All aboard the express kundalini
All aboard the express kundalini
All aboard the express kundalini

~ Love and Rockets

this is such a great song...just listening to it, you can feel the energy...

that's a cool dream....i'm gonna ponder it a while...

oh, i drew a medicine card for you, i hope you don't mind...it so fits you though.

Hummingbird

Joy

the song of hummingbird awakens the medicine flowers. hummer sings a a vibration of pure joy...

hummingbird can fly in any direction -- up, down, backwards, and forwards. hummingbird can also hover in one spot and appear to be motionless...

because of their magical qualities, hummingbird feathers have been used for millenia in the making of love charms. it is said that hummingbird conjures love as no other medicine does, and that hummingbird feathers open the heart...

if hummingbird is your personal medicine, you love life and its joys. your presence brings joy to others. you join people together in relationships which brings out the best in them. you know instinctively where beauty abides and, near or far, you journey to your ideal. you move comfortably within a beautiful environment and help others taste the succulent nature of life.

if hummingbird has flown into your cards, get ready to laugh musically and enjoy Creator's many gifts...hummingbird hears celestial music and is in harmony with it...

follow sister hummingbird and you will soon be filled with paroxysms of joy, and experience a renewal of the magic of living.

Hummingbird
Joyful little sister
Nectar you crave!

All the sweetness
of the flowers
is the love you gave.

these are the highlights; i'll type it in full for you soon.

Would love to hear your thoughts, silverstone.

I do believe in animal totems. One that is profoundly significant to me is Polar Bear.
I dream of them periodically, always at crucial times my life.
Lone survivor in a barren environment. I think oddly enough I have both the extremes of Hummingbird and Polar Bear within me.
I'm often torn between needing love and beauty above all, yet urged to conquer life in solitude (at least inwardly).

my thoughts are rather chaotic atm, and i shall return upon the establishment of a greater sense of equilibrium.

blessed be.

Interesting, Lia... Bears, eh here's more on Shamanism in regards to Power Animals:

Bear

The bear is an animal that hibernates in caves to get away from the outside environment. So as a power animal, it indicates that you have to search within to fulfill your hopes and aspirations, or to find solutions to your problems. Bear is concerned with the reachings of goals. Just as a bear withdraws from the outside world when it hibernates, so should you withdraw from your entanglements and seeking refugee within--in the silence where the power of knowing is, and where the answers to your needs, and the harmony you seek, lie hidden.

Bear also stresses the importance of dreamtime--the time to nurture your dreams and aspirations in quiet periods, and to seek ways to "own" them so they can become practical realities.

Bear is the power of the meditative state. So if you have Bear as a power animal ask it to help you find the centre of your being--the place o perfect balance and harmony--and make sure that time for inner looking becomes part of your daily routine.

Key indicator: Ability to draw strength from within.
