Hey @ricia!
As always thank you for your wonderful comment!! 😍
I'm glad you appreciated it! Yeah, honestly I struggled for a long time understanding what in the heck Kundalini was, how to activate it, how to feel its effects, what it actually is...
When I first learned that chakras where undoubtedly a factual aspect of reality as present in our lives as love and fear; invisible to the naked eye yet having form and effect that clearly impacted our lives, I really wanted to know what was all the hubbub about Kundalini
Now I realize that Kundalini is also real, and doesn't ned to be shrouded in so much mysticism...
I will say this: I think that Kundalini works best when all of the chakras are open... There's different levels to this Spiritual Energy... For example, in a perfect state of blissful harmony, openness and receptiveness, I think Kundalini can cause us to have incredibly powerful psychic and spiritual experiences...
But, in a more practical, every-day sense, I do see it as this reserve of energy that doesn't seem to come from this plane, but definitely comes from the higher realms... It doesn't really come from any one source but rather is pulled from the infinite great "Within"...
It's a dormant energy, one we tap into through volition, intention, desire... It's a much purer form of energy, and can really take us to a different level when we tap into it properly...
The thing is most of us fail to use it, or we don't really know how best to tap into it... That's where the process of meditation and alignment (of the energy centers) allows us to start feeling this secret store that is very easily hidden from our perception... Tapping into it then becomes an intuitive energy work...
But when we hit that pocket of energy, and it starts releasing, we can certainly recognize the incredible high and energy boost it yields... Then if we can focus it into a contemplative, creative or other kind of enterprise, we can go much, much further than we ordinarily would
I think great artists and people who perform incredible feats could not do so without tapping into the "Zone" which is Kundalini Energy flow
Yes - I have definitely been there! You did not answer my question though @impunity. Every time I read your own name, I start to sing the song. It cannot just be me :-)
LOL! Hae-JooD
xD
I thought it was an odd question; sorry it took me so long to see what you did there
^^
To my knowledge, you're the first!!!
But hopefully if this name grows and more people start to come across it, they will share with me the same feeling you've felt! As far as I know, you're the first! ;))
LOL! Are you ever going to start writing your own posts?
Everywhere cool I end up I see you've been there first! You're like a Steemit fairy, dispensing love and recognition where you feel it deserves to be served! I love how thoughtful and considerate all your interactions are with the users (and it really isn't even for me, I see you everywhere where the action is taking place getting involved and making so many positive contributions!)
I wish I had more SP to upvote you with... You do the fantastic curation work that this platform needs to feel like a real, living virtual space for all of us to come together...
Somebody should give you a SP delegation I swear down!
Seriously can't wait til' you start writing about your own interests and passions :)
My dear friend Jood,
I have already refused a kind delegation offer and gave away the sbd I had to others. I have probably reached my destination on my steemit journey. I was only ever interested in exploring and learning. I have met many wonderful people here but have also found that it is essentially just as exploitative in its construction as its real life counterpart. Some are making a sterling effort to change that, but without the agreement of those who hold the power, it seems unlikely. I am sure you will go on to use your brilliant and visionary mind to make it a better user platform and hopefully a place, where bad actors can be blocked if unwilling to reform. :) ~~~~~
Damn. This is probably one of the realest, saddest, deepest, most brutally honest things I've ever read on Steemit. I can't say that I'm surprised or shocked, but boy did this comment read like a sobering bucket of water splashed on your face while you're sleeping...
But I've always had this idea that this is an experiment and nobody knows whether this can work, will work, should work... I think in that sense, maybe it's like society, but like...
You say that we need the agreement of those that hold the power... But I remind myself that we all hold the power...
The illusion of the "Powerful" and the "Powerless" is just that, an illusion...
In reality, we play this game the way we currently play it because we enjoy it this way...
The day we want to play the game differently, we will... So I'm not too worried... I've seen Steem have such a positive impact on so many people's lives... I can hardly say the same about "the real life counterpart" these days...
We're looking for the solutions to our real world problems... I think we will find them... But everyone has a role to play... What one person has to do compared to another may be completely different, but that doesn't mean they do not act as one and move together towards the same destination...
We all have to learn to be ourselves and play our roles
So don't "LEAVE" Us...... :O
