TRANSCRIPT OF EPISODE
Entering into conscious contact with your kundalini energy is an important part of learning how to operate your developing light body. When we begin to bring our conscious attention to this component of our energy system, there’s a better chance that we can enjoy the process of our evolution, and learn how to generate power without risking a meltdown.
The kundalini can be quite volatile and strong. It can be activated by many influences, conscious and unconscious. One of the main things that can stimulate it unconsciously is digital technology, ie phones, tv, video games, etc. I don’t know anyone who is not using at least one of these things on a daily basis. If you haven’t prepared yourself and learned how to regulate this energy, it can create excessive friction in the body, emotions and mind, leading to mild or more severe disturbances. Let’s journey into our kundalini and practice bringing it into smooth coordination with other components of our energy system so that we can have a more vibrant and creative life.
Welcome. Your presence here contributes to a network of consciousness that can stimulate the evolution of harmonic humanity. As always, I encourage you to enter into this material with an open yet discerning mind. These words are merely here to guide you into a direct experience with yourself, and your inner realm should be the primary source of your information and guidance.
In this podcast we explore a system of meditative exercises to enter into a process of conscious evolution. Each episode includes discussion about the science of your changing self, as well as a guided journey to expand and adjust your developing light body. This material has been developed by Saul Goodman, founder of the International School of Shiatsu and the author of The Book of Shiatsu, Shiatsu Shin Tai and Light Body Activation. It can assist you to activate your evolving body and use it to safely and enjoyably navigate into expanded dimensions of experience. I’m Lynn Goodman, Saul’s colleague and wife, and I’ve studied and taught with him for 20 years.
Rather than talk about conceptual ideas of what kundalini is, we’ll journey into a direct learning experience with it. Our focus in this episode is to bring two of the main channels, or nadis, of the kundalini into a more steady, rhythmic flow. Instead of trying to activate or speed these channels up, we will be feeling into them and slowing them down.
Your developing light body is composed of many different components that begin to function as a coordinated system as it matures. In previous episodes we have worked with the outerbody layers, the meridians, the chakras, the cranial system and the abstract brain. Any of these aspects of your body can operate in an unbalanced, misagligned or arrhythmic manner, creating uncomfortable symptoms or disease.
The kundalini can be especially ‘combustable’ and unstable. After all, it’s referred to as the serpent energy; think of how a snake can move and slither so quickly and you will have an idea how the kundalini operates. Since it has so much inherent force and is particularly stimulated through technology, it tends to accelerate and begin moving in an erratic manner through the system unless it is brought into a more functional movement on purpose.
If you are often in front of a screen, be aware that the quality of light and movement in the digital images can inadvertently stimulate kundalini activity. Children and sensitive people are especially effected in this way. Also, when you read about esoteric subjects, like light body activation and kundalini and chakras, these energies respond directly to your focused thoughts and emotions. These influences can result in high voltages of current moving through an unprepared body with no training on how to regulate it, contributing to many illnesses, especially mental instability and immune problems.
The kundalini is composed of 3 main channels: the ida, the pingala and the sushumna. We will be working with the ida and pingala nadis, which intertwine upwards through the body in a looping pattern that interfaces with each chakra. It may be helpful for you to have a mental image of these pathways before we begin. If you want to look at a simple diagram of these channels, there’s one on our website page; I’ll leave a link to it in the show notes.
Be aware that, similar to all the light body components, the kundalini is not a linear thing that can be accurately represented in a diagram. It’s a dynamic, multidimensional force that doesn’t actually operate in a way that we could use words or images to precisely convey. My descriptions and the diagram are meant to be starting points for you to launch into what may be a very different experience of their actuality.
Our goal in this work is to release and relieve physical, emotional and mental restrictions so that energy can flow smoothly through the body without creating friction and disturbance. Learning how to contact and coordinate the flow of our kundalini channels becomes more of a priority as your body’s energy system activates. This will support you to thrive as your soul vibration integrates more fully with your physical self and you move into more contact with other forces.
On that note, let’s enter into a process to experience some of this directly. Make sure you have a quiet space to focus where you won’t be disturbed. Put on some comfy clothes, turn off notifications on your phone, and settle in to enjoy your dear self. Here we go….
