Dawn do you also have active kundalini?Posted by Dawn (here)
Bill and Limor, I am happy to provide more information for you. I purposely did not do so earlier because this thread is about cleansing, not living on prana. I am happy to tell you of my personal experience.
...
So there it is Bill, my story about how I became a breatharian and then gave it up. Here are the steps again, stated simply:
1) Run your energy daily
2) Get plenty of exercise
3) Remain in courage and find things you are scared of to overcome
4) Spent a lot of time in nature
5) Do 'death' meditations until they become ecstatic
6) Pay attention to the chakra at the back of your throat when you breath with the intention of opening it and breathing in prana

I have had similar experiences to the samhadi one that you described over the last 8 years especially. The first time it happened it was a spontaneous occurrence. I had been meditating and contemplating, and at some point the contemplation starting moving into “what is this thing that i am?” During my contemplation i started becoming aware of a sensation in my spine, i have often described it as liquid bliss. I continued with my contemplation, and at some point the realization hit, that what we are is so much bigger, so much more amazing than a limited single body/mind. The sensation of liquid bliss got more and more intense until it was rushing up my spine like a waterfall and bursting out the top of my head. The feeling expanded and expanded until there was a feeling of vast open space, silence, and something like a simple pure 'knowing.'
Over the years of meditation i have had many peak experiences such as this, states of higher consciousness, but always the experiences would fade over time. For whatever reason this sensation in my spine never did fade. There are times now where the sensation is more subtle than others, but ever since that day the 'liquid bliss' has always been there. At times it can be very intense, like a whole body orgasm that is random and spontaneous, and at other times it is like a low level of subtle bliss running in the background like a radio playing in the distance.
I wanted to ask you for a bit of advice, if you are willing. It is so rare for me to find people who are experiencing the samhadi states directly. About two years ago, after six years of living with very active kundalini i had an experience in the middle of the night like your Nirvikalpa samhadi. When i came back to the room after that i felt like the body was a pea sized little toy, and i was this huge giant trying to remember how to work it again. For about three days i couldn't eat, or sleep, but not in a bad way, it was just like there was no need to. The energy that was flowing freely was enthralling and sustaining completely, so there was just no need to reach to anything in the world for sustenance. I was simply self sustained in every way.
I also felt a profound sense of love for everyone and everything and a strong realization of how precious life is. Like you shared my time in this state has not been without external challenges in fact if anything the 'life' challenges have increased during the last 8 years, yet no matter what happens i always have a higher perceptive, or 'lens' to see it through, and i know that what i am can not be harmed. It is hard for me to buy into fear or worry, (it can still happen, but it's very rare) but i still see that changes need to happen on earth right now and i feel a strong pull to help people. What i wanted to ask you is since 1977 what have you found is the best way to 'use' your state of being in the world? You mentioned that when this started for you, you would share it and people didn't really seem interested, which is what i am also finding.
Last year i met Oriah mountain dreamer and she shared a story about meeting with an elder. She was sharing her experience of higher consciousness with him, and after she was done sharing he said to her “that is a really beautiful experience, and a lovely story, but what is it going to do to feed the children?” I was really touched by that story, and have felt ever since the feeling of how do i take this experience and use it to make tangible changes in the world?
If anyone feels so moved to offer advice to me, i am listening. Thanks so much to Dawn for sharing this information, i feel very strongly that there is something here of immeasurable value and importance, and like LS said, i think this information is life changing.
