What is the difference between chi and kundalini




















I don't think dantians exist in kundalini cultivation. Perhaps kundalini cultivation may be associated with an energy body outside of the physical body. Is it possible to convert one to the other? I ask because I was born with my Kundalini channels mostly open and have access to huge amounts of energy, but I can't seem to do anything useful with it other than transcend spacetime. This is not a joke; if you have not discovered this, you should know that there are types of energy that can be used for this and that and other types that do nothing, or seem to do nothing.

I also have "controls" in my head that I can seemingly adjust, but I don't know what they do, except in one or two cases. Dealing with this is the primary struggle in my life and the pole around which all else rotates. That is, I have this and other Yogic phenomena in my life, from past lives or God knows where, but I have not been able to integrate it into my day to day life at all.

It must come from the inexhaustible fount within the atom. Science tells us that there is more energy contained in one cubic centimeter than is contained in 3 million pounds of TNT for example.

Once Kundalini uncoils from the kanda it surges up the spine through a central nadi nerve channel called the sushumna, one of ,, nadis in a human body, says Swami Muktananda in Kundalini: The Secret of Life Two subsidiary channels, the ida and pingala, criss-cross the sushumna and help guide Kundalini to the top of the head and into the brain.

The ida and pingala together appear as two serpents ascending entwined around the energized sushumna nerve channel, poised to strike at the brain. The serpent-caduceus is also a very old symbol: depictions can be found as early as circa B.

These chakras-nerve plexuses-radiate colorful energies called auras and have been described by Eastern spiritual leaders for thousands of years and currently by countless clairvoyants. Recently they have been confirmed by quantitative electronic experiments conducted by Valerie V. Hunt, Ed. Ideally, Kundalini energizes each chakra into accelerated activity that benefits the person. Two auric chakras and their emotional attributes are of special interest here. The chakras are analogous to the central nervous system of the spinal cord; the meridians to the peripheral nervous system which extends along with the autonomous nerves beyond the spinal cord.

In other words the entire body is wired to channel the Kundalini-accelerated flow of Prana, just as it is wired with nerves to transmit sensory information. This manipulation is not an undertaking for the faint-hearted dabbler, though. Kundalini has a downside, the ancient texts warn. A body and psyche unprepared for the power of awakened Kundalini can exhibit various spontaneous siddhi supernormal abilities , which might lead to physical or psychological damage, temporary or permanent; minimal or severe.

Kieffer warns that if this heightened flow of new bioenergy is impeded, madness and worse is probable. The power of Kundalini moving through the body can be likened to electrical current in a lightbulb, and water in a hose. Water under pressure produces violent whipping of a narrow, frail garden hose yet barely flexes a larger, stronger firehose.

Power that is properly balanced accomplishes constructive results; too much power moving through a channel too constricted, creates havoc. As Dr. Most of these are beyond the scope of Ablaze! If there is some other explanation offered by science I am not aware of it. Oriental philosophy and martial disciplines speak of qi, the primal matrix of life energy. They wisely view man holistically; interconnected to all aspects of his inner and outer environment. Qi can also be amplified by a biological process called qi gong.

One of these Mysteries is exceptional human function EHF. In exceptional meditators it causes illumination of a dark room perceptible to others. One recalls the glowing ignis lambens that the meditating professor saw around his body during meditation.

Kundalini or qi gong is not unknown in the West, though the few cultural references to it are often veiled. Here the preponderance of evidence-what little has been recorded-is not traditional but personal, anecdotal. In America, for example, Dr. The most instructive description of Kundalini I have found happening to a Westerner is offered by W.

Thomas Wolfe. In the context of SHC, it is particularly fascinating. Imagine living day-to-day oblivious to a quietly ticking timebomb of potent energy lying dormant in your body. He described his introduction to the serpent-fire in And the Sun Is Up:. And then one day it happens.

It is as though the body has accumulated so much energy that it can hold no more without bursting at the seams. And now, while the subject is resting or meditating, the rising of the accumulated energy takes place. In most cases, the surge is so powerful that the subject loses consciousness of his body while maintaining some sort of internal consciousness. During this period he experiences himself as a disembodied being of pure energy. Or perhaps he experiences profound bliss, or sees a magnificent, overwhelming vision of God-it is different for each subject.

Or perhaps, for any number of different reasons, the subject embarks on a one-way siddhi of supernormal thermogenesis that begins with a slight fever, then escalates to transcendental heating as red blotches form on the skin, culminating in the SHC of third-degree burns or worse.

This suggests that his Kundalini was initially blocked, causing overheating as it moved upward into his solar plexus chakra. Earlyne Chaney described in Remembering: The Autobiography of a Mystic how her entire body became immobile as her muscular system rigidly locked during her own Kundalini movement.

This phenomenon can, in context, explain why SHC victims often seem to make no effort to escape the fire enveloping them. The victim would literally never feel the fiery serpent moving up and outward from his or her solar plexus or rushing up toward his or her heart and head.

And if intense pain transmission does register as a consequence of intense hyperthermia, the immobiised neuromuscular system precludes any escape. A brief period of headiness accompanied the aroma.

Later, at bed time, I noticed Kundalini tightening. A subjective perception? It has perplexed investigators. It has allowed critics of SHC to smirk at this imponderable though often reported phenomenon, thus enabling them to debunk it along with the burned-out bodies they would like never to consider. One evening about six months after he began to experience Kundalini, Wolfe sat down after dinner in front of his television to rest.

His mind was weary, his body exhausted. Soon he sensed the Kundalini rising within him, which he found to be not unusual after dining. It was like someone had hit me with a hammer. The blow was extremely forceful, shocking me into wakefulness. I wondered what part of me had been burned away.

Is it not significant that most of the SHC episodes so far examined occurred when the victim was relaxed, asleep, or in a drunken stupor? The author knows a few friends who experience, occasionally, waking up feeling quite comfortable until they move to get off their beds or sofas.

With their stirring comes a sudden, instantaneous heat; frightfully hot sometimes, they say, and usually short-lived. But very unnerving. Wolfe might have been far more worried had he known what the director of the Kundalini Research Foundation told me. This heat can become so intense as to cause death. It made him think and feel that a part of himself was being burned away, but beyond changing his belief system forever it left no lasting physiological injury. But can it be proven that others may not have been so fortunate when sitting or lying down, relaxing or dozing just prior to a forceful, spontaneously catastrophic baptism by inner fire?

The presence of an invisible, psychic anatomy within the human body was long ago identified by the healing professions in Egypt, China, India, and elsewhere, but has been vigorously rejected by the current allopathic philosophy of Western medicine. Belatedly but fortunately some Occidental physicians have begun to heed the teachings of their ancient predecessors, and now give credence to the existence and function of a subtle energy-body within and indeed larger than the physical body they are trained to treat.

These path and power points are huge in numbers running into thousands. And then there is an important central channel that runs straights from the top of the head to the lower abdominal area. On this channel are power point like power station that serves the whole body. The Hindus and Taoist have exactly the same knowledge for human body are all the same but they use it in different way.

Although the pathway are the same, the Hindus map it differently and create a medical system call ayurvedic, whereas the Taoist have acupuncture,herds and massage. The Taoist practice qigong by using body movement to help the mind to connect or access the qi. The Hindus have pranayama whereby the breathe is used as the main focus and so the breath is use to help the mind to connect to prana.

The highest God reside on the top of the head at the third eye while the lower deity with lower power reside at the bottom. Spirituality or consciousness thus progress from lower body function to higher body function. For a human to realise his spiritual self he that is the consciousness has to go in for the spiritual centre is inside and meet the god inside these chakras. Usually a person is not ready to meet god in the third eye and so kundalini is a system where he can start to access the bottom chakras and progress up step by step until he realise God at the third eye.

For the Taoist, they pick up three important centre and call it lower, middle and upper dantien. These centre is like power station with factory and a manager deity in Kundalini. The Taoist gain access at the lower dantien station factory and thus have access to complete physical body control, whereas the Hindu gain access to the manager office to befriend the power there and prepare himself for going up the next level or chakras; a very important different purpose.

Strangely, our true self the mind is off a higher status then these lower power. Very roughly, the lower dantein work is qigong practice and going up to middle and upper dantein is neigong practice nei means inner because the middle dantien is associated with love, compassion for mankind or a recognition of the universal self, and the upper dantien is associated with Godhead and the ultimate reality not unlike the third eye in kundalini.

Common-sense tells us that the higher state of being is going to be more complicated or difficult to understand. Very often we find it hard to confirm to our own logic. So neigong need some getting- use- to to understand.

I have this observation, that even if two person access exactly same location, say the third eye also called the upper dantein the two person will have different result, depending on what one looks for. These are the result of having different spiritual school or tradition. Finally I think qigong cannot be mixed with kundalini or pranayama. These are subjects that needs to be handle carefully and mixing them makes things worst. Kundalini and pranayama are more powerful system and any mistake is also more painful.

I think we may learn two system side-by side but we won. I would like to confess that I know next to nothing regarding kundalini and neigong just that I do have a strong interest in both subject for a very long time and so have collected some of these ideas which I hope makes sense.

Hi Michael. Im not exactly sure what it is or what to do with it, but mainly I use it in meditations with different results. Im pretty sure It is the 3 dantiens that I am moving this energy through…but I would like to know what it is that Im doing and what to do with it.

Its a very physical feeling. To do it…its like I constrict my lower…bowels? And it goes right to my head. Its a kind of buzzing feeling and always comes with a frequency in my ears. Do you have the same sortbof experience…or is anybody sure what this is? I apologize for the ametureish content of my comment…but Im basicallly lost here.
