Is it worth the effort? It seems too simple to such a goal.

I'm not sure that the technique is the question, the question is, are you ready for what may happen if you do raise Kundalini?

.......its at the very bottom of the page lol....shouldnt it be at the top or something?
my guess is many people dont actually do it (fully awakened, rising), or get so far then the realization of what can actually happen without a guide or really knowing what to do and how to handle it keeps them from going farther. I personally dont know, so I cant say.
It's definitely something yoga teachers would avoid teaching to beginners.
I was recently engaging in very strong daily breathing practices, under supervision as I did my training as a yoga teacher. I found it very disruptive and I've done yoga and meditation for over ten years.
In my experience, if you're taking it too far the signs will be there well before a full kundalini event. In my case, the physical sensations were constant and became quite extreme at times with surges of strong activity in my heart, throat and brow centres activating spontaneously throughout the day. It was quite unpleasant and often resulted in the release of blockages that came up through my throat as surges of fear.

Most yoga teachers, kundalini yoga teachers etc., have never raised it themselves. They only know what they've been told about it or read about it, probably by someone who only read about it etc.Originally Posted by Beekeeper

Robert Bruce talks in detail about energy work and kundalini raising, and in his words that's a natural process that takes place in a certain pace (normally slow) and in several stages, from the lowest to its fullest.
Dangers? Crossing a street is potentially dangerous too.
Ready for that? Who knows. I'd dare if live gave me that chance.
The main point of the thread was if that technique is of value to attain the old serpent's awakening.
He also has some pretty strong things to say about trying to raise Kundalini before you're ready for it. Just saying.Originally Posted by andonitxo

Anything is possible. It is totally possible(and has happened) to awaken and raise kundalini simply through normal meditation. I would say just as likely, if not more, than the technique described here. Proper meditation is a better idea for a number of reasons. It might not sound exotic, but good meditation practice will be far more effective than any other technique aside from that prescribed by a realized guru. Get a teacher if you're serious about it, make sure you believe this teacher is the real thing, make sure you feel unconditional love from this person. A guru can work with you specifically and help you progress MUCH MUCH faster. It is the difference between dropping off your car at a place you picked out of the phone book and living with a mechanic who specializes in your make/model/year.Originally Posted by andonitxo

Look, I'm not going to argue with you but I am talking from experience. There is a sequence to breathing techniques and some of it is practical. There can be physical damage as breathing techniques impact the nervous system and some people won't use sense as they go off ambitiously in pursuit of some mind-blowing experience. Meh, it's their well-being, they can please themselves. What hurts some may not hurt others and youthful arrogance is part of the hero archetype and has its place in human progress, I guess. As a teacher one has a duty of care. I wouldn't risk hurting my students and therefore would err on the side of conservatism.
This is what we're taught. While I don't believe everything I'm told and I understand that all the yogic traditions aren't in total agreement over various aspects of yoga practice, I do respect those who have done things longer than I have or knowledge gained through long traditions, especially when it corresponds to my own experiences. I have less respect for individuals when I am unaware of their actual experiences and credentials. My teacher is over 70 and has practiced since his youth. His teacher was raised in an ashram.
I agree that there are yoga teachers who haven't fully raised kundalini or who have raised it so gently that they don't really know much about the adverse effects, other than what they've been told.
Yes, it has value, as do other methods that don't necessarily suit everyone (such a meditation,abdominal lifting and pumping and asana practice). Chances are that you won't run into serious problems. It could take a while.Dangers? Crossing a street is potentially dangerous too.
