Kundalini will sometimes deprive a person of experiences and conditions that would take their attention away from their spiritual development. Being extremely beautiful or focused only on money or a hedonistic lifestyle. This is not the truth of who you are it is merely the paradigm of consciousness that Grace has given you to awaken within. So do not hold a grudge against yourself for not achieving what others may have expectation for you to achieve friends family, etc. as they do not understand the purpose for limitations that have been given to you in this life from the divine.

You must begin to forgive yourself and accept your self as you are. There is nothing wrong for you. You have been given a very specific body and mind and gifts to do a very specific thing, a very specific task. That task is to weave together a life that is imbued with the strength and love and trust and the honoring of the truth within you that surpasses the physical expression of who you are or who you or others think you should be.

This means that no matter what was given that it does not represent the truth of who you are. The truth of who you are is the grace that is awakening with in you.
Life isn't supposed to be perfect to begin with, that's what karma is representing, the imperfection of life, but your journey through it and the knowledge that you gain from self mastery is what brings perfection to life. Kundalini in the awakened expression.
As you continue to move into forgiveness and love for who you are and how you are the wisdom of that love will begin to bring you the gifts of awakening. - chrism

Bliss Stalking

Bliss has its own agenda for everyone. It is an aspect of the Kundalini that of course is highly sought after. Some will even do their best to awaken the Kundalini just to have THIS aspect of it. We are seekers of pleasure. What one may wish to take into consideration is that within the Kundalini there are many tasks and detoxifications and transformations to be given and received by the five sense person and within these tasks the attitude that we have in the completion of these tasks can form a basis for the gift of bliss. Here are some triggers for the gift of bliss but without the guarantee that it will come. There are no guarantees with the Kundalini.

Gratitude can trigger bliss.
Selfless Service for another can trigger bliss.
Surrender to the teachings of the Kundalini can trigger bliss
Continuous practice of the safeties can trigger bliss
Walking in the light of forgiveness can trigger bliss
Observing or partaking of natural love activities can trigger bliss
Hearing a certain type of music can trigger bliss
Seeing a certain scene or vision of beauty can trigger bliss
Tantric Gazing can trigger bliss
Certain mantras can trigger bliss

These are merely a few ways to open into a blissful dialogue with the Kundalini. The most important way is to not resist the many changes that are occurring especially when they are uncomfortable. We evolve through challenges not complacency.
Let yourself be surrendered completely to the Kundalini within. Let your trust be placed there or with a teacher the Kundalini has guided you to. Open to the bliss without expectation. Let the entire Kundalini experience, in all of its unique and powerful agenda, be a work of loving beautiful art. A gift to God. You are this gift. - chrism

Naked We Stand

In the presence of Kundalini nothing can be hidden or secret. There is no privacy. Kundalini consciousness knows who we are and how we are, what we are and where we are and there is no getting away or around that. We are naked in every meaning of the word and in some ways far beyond the meaning of the word. We are totally exposed within every angle of the spirituality, of the mind, and the emotions and physically too.

The ego doesn't enjoy this due to the programming and the inhibitions we have been raised in within the western cultures. It is so regardless of how the ego feels about it. And its not just to the consciousness of the Kundalini that we are exposed. All consciousness outside the veil of this physical reality can see us as we truly are. There is no privacy at all. Privacy is an illusion. It is Maya.

Kundalini will often use our egocentric mannerisms and fears in ways of teaching us about ourselves, teaching us about what is truly important and what is merely an unnecessary blockage that can be released. A fear that does not serve to protect but in actuality limits the individual from moving further into inner understandings.

In many ways and using other people and situations the sacred mother brings us challenges to our egocentric status quo. She forces us to change our desires and fears and expectations that prohibit our development. She confronts us with them and demands that they be reconciled. Gently at first typically but with ever increasing levels of force.

We do well to heed her teachings and instructions for us.

One stands naked and exposed not only to all within but also to all without. We only have privacy from the human flesh eyes and ego mind not from anything else and even then the Kundalini may task a person with giving more of ourselves than we would consider comfortable or appropriate. Yet within the true grace of the true Kundalini there can be nothing that is inappropriate. We may feel that allowing a force that feels part of us and yet not part of us that is crawling up our spine to be an inappropriateness in the extreme! Or to be compelled to walk naked in the natural physical environment as inappropriate or to pray or give devotion in a public shrine or church or at home or on a bus as the extreme of inappropriateness.

Yet it is not and cannot be. Kundalini is lifting a person out of the dross and slime of the five sense ego encased life and bringing them into the enlightened fields of grace and these ideas of appropriate or inappropriate will need to be set aside. Set aside within the Kundalini not so much within the ego encased public consciousness. And yet even there the sacred mother works on us, unbeknownst to others, within the consciousness of the general public.

You will want to surrender to this completely.

Leave nothing of an ego nature that is overtly hidden by you from the Kundalini. Do not thwart your development by trying. Let it all go. Trust Kundalini. Trust everything and everyone she brings into your life. Be discerning with this as discernment is another form of teaching that the Kundalini gives. Your discernment is a new way of seeing through the eyes and ears and consciousness of grace. Discernment is a function of grace as we walk among those still sleeping.

Be courageous and trusting of what the Kundalini brings towards you and within you. Its new and its strange but its goodness and divine all at the same time. Trust your sacred teacher and the will of the heavenly grace within you. Stand tall, stand confident, and stand naked, fearless and natural. - chrism
