Title: My Introduction
Post by: Henrik on Jun 02, 2006, 02:38:23 AM
Hello all,

I'm new to this course. I came across this site after having the intuition to search for something about Kundalini. As soon as I saw this site I knew it was what I was looking  for.
A brief background : I have been involved with meditation, Buddhism, yoga, paganism ( and a few other isms) for some twenty years. After a near disastrous drug induced consciousness expansion experience when I was 18, I spent several years learning to ground myself. Last year I had a powerful kundalini experience that completely turned my approach to spirituality upside down. This experience had me looking for the first time at the divine feminine  aspect (goddess- earth based) of things. Up to that time I was very focused on the more patriarchal approach to spirituality- sky energy as opposed to earth energy. I have spent the past year exploring this experience and its energies. I realised that despite years of meditation I had zero ability to relax and surrender to the moment. Perhaps, one of the by-products of  having had a difficult childhood (where it was difficult to trust without getting hurt) and of being a bit of a control freak.  

The things that interest me about this course are its positive approach to sexuality and the body and its emphasis on surrender. I am also interested in the concept of the divine beloved because this is something that I have felt very strongly over the past year and have struggled to explain.

Well that's my brief introduction.

Blessed Be!

Hello Henrik!

Great to have you here. :)  I get a very distinct feeling that the incapability to relax and be in the moment is a part of the process, like a phase, I can relate to it.

Before I started having awakening experiences I was practicing yoga quite intensively.. I was very good at relaxing, at meditating and so on. Then you could say that the hornet's nest was stirred, and oh boy are there lots of hornets...  It can be difficult to feel at ease when karma is being processed, when ego-issues manifest one after the other to be surrendered.

I lost the ability to do my 30 minutes relaxation in the morning and then go on with the day. Goddess has been showing me that meditation and relaxation is a much more dynamic process that is always there...  Things that used to work sometimes stop working because everything is changing.. :)

Namaste!
Gustaf
