Many new insights and adjustments occuring.
Let me try and explain natural NON CUTTING the tongue Kechari this is the only one I know. [I][U]Honestly it is not worth cutting in my experience thus far.[/U][/I]
I started this as a running log on Kechari I am attempting to give a running account of my experiences. Some great some terrible.
In each case I am knocking the romance off of this as best as I can and relating the experiences.
Physical Body Reactions Observed as of 2012-10-10
The body and nervous system has a very serious reaction to kechari and it can be a bit overwhelming.
The physical body has very strong symptoms including very strong long lasting erections for males during Sadhana Practices which for me go away when finished. Thankfully.
When this happens the reaction is not time lapsed or slow it is immediate. The organ is relaxed then it is activated in an instant. That was distracting at first.
Now it has become just something that happens I tend to notice only afterwards when ending my session.
For those who may be wondering no it is not accompanied by an irresistible urge for release.
There is no adverse effect on this organ afterwards either.
I suppose the body does this because of a shared nerve channel being activated.
One of the side effects of this is actually a lessoning of desire for physical release as the internal pleasures are not only different but far longer lasting and of a more beneficial effect on the organism. For example this body has more energy and I do not mean nervous energy, this energy is a nice steady type of non tiredness from activities that once would have made me tired.This body require less sleep and feels better over all.
For example after work I drove 100 miles to participate in a group Kriya Yoga Guided meditation to make sure my practices were correct. ( They were ) Then I drove 100 miles back I arrived home around 10:00 PM. I had been up since 4:30 AM that morning. I was not tired in the least. I fell asleep at 11:00 PM and awoke at 5:00 AM as if last night and the day before never happened. Awake, alert & rested.
My hearing has become amplified and my sense of smell has become stronger. Heat does not effect me as it once did for example I was sitting outside waiting fro the co-ordinator to arrive to start the meeting and a fellow Kriyavan said to me you can wait inside you know where it is cool no need to be out in this heat. I honestly did not know that it was uncomfortably hot outside. Nor did it feel so after she said something.
Energy Adjustments in Sadhana
In the very beginning I was sucked into a deeper state but this was a result of mind being attracted to something new happening.
I can see that now. Here is an example:
Imagine a car backfiring outside your window you immediately look to the source of the sound and see a car belching smoke out the tail pipe. For that period of time you lost all focus of the room around you. It is like that. The difference is that the sudden silence grabs the minds attention as this circuit is connected.
The next thing I noticed was the after effects of the practices became very magnified and as such more than I could comfortably deal with in my present stage of evolution which is still changing of course.
I adjusted my practice and prevented energy from entering the 7th chakra or crown.
This has worked well. I am still adjusting and fine tuning this but for now the crown is not being involved.
The other thing I noticed was where I was getting strong electromagnetic reactions and vibration in the Chakras everything went silent and the energy flows ceased while in Kechari this deepened my concentration and stillness of mind even further.
As soon as I removed the tongue from behind my soft Pallet the energy in the Medulla would cascade and start again.
This led me to believe that the circuit being closed was smoothing out the energy flows and that not having the circuit closed with the tongue was why I was feeling the energy flows to begin with as if something was backing up building up pressure without the tongue in kechari.
Now I know this is not the case as energy flows are beginning again even in Kechari.
So Here is what I think IS HAPPENING Rewiring and remapping of Neural pathways in the subtle and physical body. The energy is present but I am just learning how to be aware of it in this new circuit configuration. I think this may also be a protective mechanism that one should not attempt to override. The best thing to do is let your awareness grow as it will without forcing things.
Mental Adjustments
Many things seem easier to understand and different. While driving down the interstate I looked over and saw rain falling from a cloud in the distance I observed the shadow it cast on the earth and felt the light pouring through as a physical thing I was in contact with as if it were touching my heart and thought to myself oh what a beautiful illusion there is no reality in any of this wonderful show of God’s yet her I am none the less. I twas as if the very thing I were seeing were a reflection of some more real thing like a photograph or a 3 dimensional plastic representation of the real thing. The certainty I felt in this statement is not able to be transferred in words or writing.
Emotional Adjustments / Altered Perceptions of Time
My emotions have become greatly magnified at times. I experienced very strong impatience yesterday which kept wanting to express as frustration or anger like a child throwing a short lived temper tantrum.
This comes from time sense becoming altered yesterday I was running at a very fast internal clock speed mentally and having to wait for the physical to catch up. Everything in the physical world even moving a chair seemed to take forever and cause frustration.
So to deal with this takes care and patience until it passes one really has to practice being the witness and observing ego make a fool of itself.
The hardest part is making sure the old fool ego does not act out tossing a chair is not generally well understood or tolerated in polite company.
I have noticed other practitioners of Kriya exhibit mood swings and chalk it up to rapid development catching them unawares. I too have experienced it but just consider it part of the process.
That being said this is not a game unless one is in a very stable period of their life and really ready to experience everything growth and change really mean this could be disastrous for those lacking self control or of an unstable personality to begin with.
