Kundalini, Third Eye & Delta/Theta Meditations

[raymond]

For the past several months, I have had kundalini chi energy rising up to my forehead. Sometimes these energy results in insommia and headaches.

I got an inspiration to slow down my breathing and thought patterns via doing delta/theta meditations.

There are a few spiritual gurus in here. What happens when this kundalini chi energy rises to my forehead and I start doing delta/theta meditations on my third eye at the same time?

Like maybe chanting OM internally for one minute in-breadth and one minute out-breadth.

Find silence in your mind. Shut out the chatter and put your focus in front of you. Images will start to appear. You should see colours that represent your chakras. You'll find a tunnel with fractals and sacred geometry involved with it go down it

As the Zen masters would say...do nothing, continue to cultivate silence and emptiness...anapana breathing is widely taught as the best meditation to cultivate emptiness as it requires no input from the concious mind (the concious mind just peacefully observes the sensations and thoughts arising through the body as though it's watching them rise and fall as reflections across a pristinely steady and still mountain lake). The Taoists use four fold breathing techniques (breathe in for 7 heartbeats, hold 7 beats, breathe out 7 beats, hold 7 beats) in my experience this creates too much disturbance as thought energy ripples with each count that you consciously try to make, anapana allows the kundalini to rise without the disturbance and ripples of thought energy getting in the way. It's the difference between looking at a reflection on a pond that's perfectly still compared to a distorted reflection due to there being lots of waves on the surface, only on a still pond will you be able to see your true buddha nature. Your awareness should be like the sun, perfectly still yet radiant in the sky illuminating the reflections on the lake, observing everything that passes by in your awareness. Birds, clouds, planes...whatever impermanent feature passes by you remain bright and unfazed by their presence continuing to shine the light of your awareness. This is what they call samadhi.

Anapana breathing along with the white skeleton meditation are the original and only teachings that first gained acceptance in Tibet as they came over from India, revered in their effectiveness due to the fact the enlightened Buddha himself taught them as a means to speed up our journey to enlightenment.


Anapana sati, the meditation on in-and-out breathing, is the first subject of meditation expounded by the Buddha in the Maha-satipatthana Sutta, the Great Discourse on the Foundations of Mindfulness. The Buddha laid special stress on this meditation, for it is the gateway to enlightenment and Nibbana adopted by all the Buddhas of the past as the very basis for their attainment of Buddhahood. When the Blessed One sat at the foot of the Bodhi Tree and resolved not to rise until he had reached enlightenment, he took up anapana sati as his subject of meditation. On the basis of this, he attained the four jhanas, recollected his previous lives, fathomed the nature of samsara, aroused the succession of great insight knowledges, and at dawn, while 100,000 world systems trembled, he attained the limitless wisdom of a Fully Enlightened Buddha.

Let us then offer our veneration to the Blessed One, who became a peerless world-transcending Buddha through this meditation of anapana sati. May we comprehend this subject of meditation fully, with wisdom resplendent like the sun and moon. Through its power may we attain the blissful peace of Nibbana.

As your thoughts slow down, your breathing naturally follows. As your mind becomes still and empty, your breathing stops and the pause between breaths start to become longer and longer. It's this pause between breaths that true cultivators naturally focus on. Masters can go for minutes or hours without drawing a breath as their pulse naturally slows due to the fact the body is filled with chi...the cells feed off this inner chi rather than having to draw more in from outside and their body can exist in a motionless state of stasis. When the body is perfectly still, comfortable in the fact that it feels unnecassary to take another breathe, the yang chi of the body will start to arise and with it leading you through the 1001 kung fu transformations and supernatural abilities that are gained along the spiritual path. The kundalini rises first to clear out the blockages and gives a sensation of warm bliss to each and every cell in your body, like the golden fleece in the greek legends it coats your body with a protective layer of bliss which keeps you safe from negetive influences. The golden armor of spiritual invulnerability that can be used to keep you safe as you open your third eye and journey through the astral realms.

Balance and posture,

Sit upright (supported if needed) feel comfortable.

1)Apply pressure through pinching the inner brow with forefinger and thumb, (left to right or both) be gentle and relax.

2) Ujjayi breath, draw awareness to the flow of a slightly harsh created breath, as it passes in as it passes out, control and extend the length of breath as one feels comfortable.

3) With stability of thought, draw consciousness up and down sushuma, from head to perineum , work up and down, down and up if awareness drifts, come back to ujjayi ( no need for bandha application at this stage)

Give one self time and then come back to the natural breath.

Expand awareness with love

enjoy this simple platform to explore.

Try slowly, and delicately to move the energy to your Crown center. I really can't add too much to what has been advised already. Proper breathing and quieting of the mind. Remember to relax into any energy body sensations.
